Fall Has Arrived

It seems that life never slows down in the Burris Abode. We have had a great few weeks lately, but our calendar has been full. While the Farmer's Market isn't officially on the calendar, it is something we all 3 look forward to each Saturday morning. It's been brisk so it requires a little bundling lately, but W's monster hat is still around and he looks so darn cute in it!

I hope I never forget the look Will has when he brings me a surprise. He has such PURE joy on his face. He and Dave created a little "fall bouquet" for me and as he handed it to me he exclaimed, "Happy Fall!"

Another fun evening event is going to the museum trail and watching the light show at James Turrell Skyspace. Dave and Will take bikes down there a few nights a week and if I'm up for getting off the sofa I'll head over in the car (bike riding is NOT an option for someone in my condition!) Will seems to have a lot more patience this year to watch the colors change.

We live in the sweetest little neighborhood. It's so 1950's sometimes. Everyone stops to talk and there are various neighborhood activities and parties in which we all get together. Our most recent event was a pumpkin carving and painting party.

Will took the cell phone around and snapped a picture of the pumpkin Dave was carving and my belly.

I am doing my best to slow down. I forget sometimes that I'm eight months pregnant and cannot do everything my head has planned. These little events are all fun family things, though and I would sure hate to miss out on any of the fun!
