Change in the Season

Autumn is quickly arriving. The temperature has dropped and the painting of leaves is sure to follow soon. This is by far my favorite time of year. The temperature, the colors, the holidays...I'm so glad we live somewhere that it lasts more than 2 weeks.

One more week of work and we'll be on vacation! We are heading up to Chicago again for the aquarium and the natural history museum. Plenty of pictures to come.

Rachel has been happier as she's been running each morning. She finds it very effective at not only staying healthy and in shape, but relieving stress as well. Maybe I should take a cue and do some excercising myself.

Annalyn had yet another visit to the dentist. This time to get her latest 2 cavities filled. Luckily she's getting use to the dentist; she's getting more and more brace with each visit. It went well too: no unexpected expenses, and the kids didn't give Rachel an ulcer!
