Ada getting down!



this kid is usually so shy, but sometimes she simply amazes me! almost every friday night we go and hear music on the front lawn of the carolina inn. ada always dances, but with a little coaxing. this friday we got there and she ran straight out on the dance "floor", alone, completely excited and uninhibited.
pure awesomeness. have i mentioned that my family is really into awesome. you should try it!

crisp.

one apple cider donut, please.
i miss boston in the fall.  i feel like i almost wasn't cool enough to live there- all those patagonia clad people.  apple picking, fall festivals downtown.  i miss it...  but really i just want a donut, please.

fall in north carolina is simply to celebrate the fact that we survived the summer heat.  i say that, but i am the very person who celebrates summer.  i need no schedule, i don't fit well into those things.  
now, mornings are early.  
school makes my oldest child off-balance.  
cranky really, but don't tell her i said that.  
here i go again, off topic.  
really what i want to say is that i love this cool weather!  i don't sweat when i rush to and from school at 7:30 pushing 1,2 or 3 kids in a stroller.   pumpkin spice latte's really do make my days better (and pumpkin scones are quite good too.)  i like the fact that i can fit into my skinny jeans once again even if it is just because they have stretched out over the years.  
fall is comforting and down right comfortable.
oh, and how did i forget, the big switch from white wine to red.
yummy.
