Fall is in the air (finally!)

I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful fall weather! I'm so glad it's finally cooling down. Mason and I have been strolling the neighborhood almost every day getting some fresh air and exercise. Unfortunately, Shadow has been sick and can't join us. I hope she is better soon because it breaks my heart to leave her behind.

We have a very busy fall ahead. We're so happy that Chris' parents are visiting us this weekend. And we will spend the next two weekends at Lake Oconee with my family so Chris and I can go cheer on our Dawgs. We're not fair-weather fans here (but please can we have another 'W' this season?)! Mason loves spending time with his grandparents and mommy really likes having help :-).

Sadly, I'm counting down the last few weeks of my maternity leave. I'll be going back to work on November 8th and Mason will start at Dunwoody Christian Academy on November 1st. We were trying to find a nanny to stay home with him through the winter, but I hadn't found anyone I was comfortable with. So when a very coveted spot opened up at DCA, we decided to take it. Let's hope it isn't as hard to get him into a good college! It will be difficult to leave my sweet boy, but we know he'll be in great hands.

I love playing with daddy when he gets home from work!
Beau the cat has finally decided that he better make friends with this new little creature since mommy pays so much attention to it.
He's starting to notice toys and try to reach for them. I can finally leave him alone on his activity mat and he will entertain himself for a little while.

A few stretching pictures as he wakes up from his nap. He makes the funniest noises and faces.
We started a new picassa gallery for fall pictures - http://picasaweb.google.com/chenretty
