Goodbye Summer.








Sad to say...but Summer is over. Here are a couple shots from our last pool party out at the Lyalls on Labor Day Weekend. It was an excellent pool summer and we got some major use of their lovely pool. There can never be enough thank you's for having access to this perfectly hidden, solar heated, gem of a pool. I miss you already.






 



On Labor Day (we took the day off for real) and headed out to a little hike I used to do growing up here. It's called Deer's Leap and looks over the valleys to Rutland. It's just a few miles long but was just enough to get the kids grumpy with us. He was seriously dragging (well refusing) to go any further on the way up after about 15 minutes so we swapped him into the back pack and forged ahead so we could make it to the look out. He enjoyed jumping over each of the ten thousand rocks on the way down though. Not sure where he got the air fist thing but he did it after each jump as you can see in the little video. It was a gorgeous, clear Vermont summer's day and I write this as I wear a wool top in slippers. Crazy how fast the weather changes.

29 weeks.





Ah, the love of this weather. We took a hike this afternoon up in the Ascutney State Park just 10 minutes up the road. It was lovely and all up hill and boy do I feel the extra weight poking out. So I haven't taken any pictures for a couple weeks so Mike took a few but, there is no hiding behind vests or scarves anymore--this kid is poking out and I don't really have any t-shirts so barely squeezed into this pre-preg shirt and it is a bit shocking to see the roundness of ones body. :)

I like seeing Mike carrying our nephew because a year from now we will have one of him.
