Worked on this Sunday afternoon. Inspired by Kelli Crowe's challenge, I decided to go back to Cee's baby album I'm still creating. Fun to see these 9 year old pictures when life was a little different. I'm craving Fall! Especially when I have to wait an hour after school each day to stay with Jae while Kaye is at volleyball and Cee goes to Study Hall. Sometimes Jae and I sneak over to Study Hall (1st graders aren't allowed) for the air conditioning. It will be nice when we can sit outside with a cool Fall breeze. That should happen in about 6 weeks.
I also long for the home-y-ness of Fall. While I was at Target yesterday the Fall decorations were calling my name. I didn't know I was so drawn to twig pumpkins all of a sudden. I think what I'm longing for is the familiarity of Fall. There's something cozy and secure about it. Must be all the changes lately and maybe the house is just a bit too quiet. I will be sad when I have to send them out on the first rainy day. (Rod called just now and said maybe you should write that post later - meaning I'm a bit too sentimental at the moment)
I do miss them. ...but they are happy meeting their new challenges and that makes me happy too, except when I miss them. Okay, I think maybe Rod was right...better go.

I was wondering when it was going to hit. Yes, it is so quiet when they're in school. Turn it around - think of all the choc chip cookies you can make! :) They'll love that!
Fall is absolutely my favorite - hands down. Love the nip in the air that makes me want to cuddle in to DH & kids. (and football)
Fall is also my favorite time of the year! I love the change in the weather, the coziness and the anticipation of Christmas! So much more fun now that I am out of retail!
It must be hard to send all three off at once. You didn't get the build up of adding one more over the years.
