Absence

I guess I've been spending too much time "in the moment," thus the lack of posts lately. I'm loving this time of year--fall. It's beautiful around here. The lakes are bordered by a kaleidoscope of color-changing trees and the cart paths are littered with golden, orange and burgundy leaves, making them look more like the yellow-brick road and less like asphalt.

What's been happening? Soccer, family visits, school, friends, work-- you know, the norm. The kids are good--growing in size and spirit. Evan's favorite thing to say these days is "I have a good idea..." What follows is anyone's guess, but it is always creative. The kid is FULL of big ideas. Grant is equally as verbal. He likes to say "Alright." He's also super-snuggly and still loves to cuddle up with his mama. In fact, he's pretty affectionate toward everyone, including his brother, much to Evan's distress. As for the "brotherhood," well, it continues to evolve and dissolve on a daily basis. As would be expected, Grant adores his older brother despite not always feeling the love back. He also, as you might guess, spends a good deal of time annoying his brother. 

'Nuf chitter chatter. On to the pictures.

Family visit

Last weekend, we were treated to a visit from brother/brother-in-law DJ, sister-in-law Heather and nephew Connor. We spent most of the weekend gallivanting around town in the golf cart, hopping from park to house and back, along with an afternoon at the Georgia Air Show. Can you see the family resemblance in Connor? Reminds me a little of this kid.

Superhero of the Earth

Evan's theme song for the past couple of the months is, "Superhero of the Earth." Don't go Googling it-- it's an original creation. And it only contains one verse: "I'm the Superhero of the Earrrr-earrrr-earr-th" wash, rinse, repeat. This past week, he has particularly enjoyed singing it at the TOP of his lungs while pounding a tribal beat on his drums. We joke that the Cherokee blood in Jason's family is shining through... very loudly.
