Fall '09

I have to admit I love fall, now I would love fall in the 70's and 60's even more, but I'll take what I get! I love the leaves turning colors, wearing jeans, going to the apple orchard, soccer games on Saturday morning, enjoying hot cocoa for the first time in a long time, and being able to curl up on the coach under a blanket with the kiddies!! Having three of the kids all in soccer Saturday morning has proven to be quite the juggling act, and I'm very lucky that my Mom and Dad have been there for me!! It's impossible to be at three games at once, and Tim is coaching Harrison's team, so my parents are able to be at "the other" kids game. The kids are loving soccer, Harrison has made the first goal in the game for the past two games, we are very proud of him!! Jack has been doing great, he made four goals in his first game and two in his second, and he is a great team player! Olivia has been doing great too, and defiantly looks the cutest of them all out on the field :) She has come very close to a couple of goals and she is anxiously awaiting her first goal of the season!! And well then there is Max, he loved the first set of games when it was nice and sunny out, and then yesterday happened. Let's just say I should of left him in the car!! Haha, he was a bear!! It was so cold and rainy out, and I wanted him to wear a hat or the hood of his sweatshirt, he didn't! He cried about having to wear that hood for the whole two hours we were at soccer, such a little stinker!! Now he really should of had mittens and a winter coat on and been wrapped in a fleece blanket like a burrito!!

I still haven't started packing, I think I'm going to put it off until like the week before I move. It sounds like a complete nightmare to pack up a house that we have lived in for almost 10 years, the crap that accumulates is unbelievable!! I love my house, and I think I might always call this place my "home", I didn't know leaving it would be so hard!! I'm trying to bury all those feelings down deep and look forward to our new adventure and discovering our new "home".

Jack just had his Birthday, I can't believe he's 11, I'm not quite sure where all the time went. It's been hitting me pretty hard lately that this stage of life (raising our family) is flying by. It's hard to think that in seven years Jack could be leaving for collage, and Olivia will be a teenager. Wow, I wish I could rewind the past 10 years and just live it all over again!! And of course my baby turns 2 in about three weeks..Wow!! These are defiantly the best years of my life.
