We're Back To Fall

So perhaps I’ve been a little slow blogging my somewhat unorganized life. In spite of the changing pace during our 5 week road trip, it was easier to write about the places and sights we saw daily. We got home just in time for school orientation and now we’re back into the school year again. Isaac has a full load playing football this year and also finding time for piano lessons—and the practicing. Jacob started high school this year. He has seminary zero period and is so so close to finishing up his Eagle. He went to his first church dance last week and loved it-- the life of a 14 year old. The weather here in Eagle has cooled some from the hot summer days of August. I love fall and am looking forward to the trees turning and shorter days. Maybe what I love most is that as the season turns—the holidays come—I love the Christmas season and how Thanksgiving seems to be the beginning of the party. I even love Halloween—there is something about this witch thing that I can relate to. Sara, my niece—maybe even a very favorite niece came to visit my Mom and Dad the first part of Sept. She came with her husband, Matt and sweet little daughter, Ava. It was so fun to spend some time with her. Lucky me, I get the benefit of seeing those I love when they come to visit any family here in the Boise area. And then finally, this past weekend I has able to meet up with Summer, Lacey and Melissa at my sister, Julie’s house for a long weekend. Lacey brought Landon and Melissa had Izabelle-- always a big draw for me. We laughed and cried and stayed up way too late. We missed Ashley and my Mom who both had conflicts on their calendars. We’ve already planned a weekend for next year to make sure we all keep our calendars clear. I can already hardy wait :)
