HELLO SEPTEMBER!

You snuck up on us!

And OHHHHH that evening light!

Hot Tubs.

The most handsome hot tubers you have ever seen…

Andrew suggested we were really just missing Papa (Papa is the biggest hot-tubber fan we know).

Preschool ahead. SIGH!

Preschool "meet the teacher" was this week.

I'm not really jacked up on the idea of "school" at such an early age, I'll be honest, Beanie isn't even THREE!

He met new kids, explored new corners, and kept his eyes close on Mumma & Dad.

In an hour he has a few Spanish words in his vocabulary already.  Beyond cute!

We will see how PLAY SCHOOL goes and do our best to get there when we do.

It's important for us all (so I'm told) to break away from each other from time to time.

Part of growing and understanding the real world.

Should be truly interesting when he realizes Mumma isn't staying each time....

Nature!

I give most of my nature love to the rural area I grew up.
The country!
However, I have to pass along a bit of tenderness for a hiking spot in our own back yard, almost literally. Douglas Fir Trail.

Nature is passing out hugs indeed this September.  It has been a beautiful month so far!!
(**warning - heavy nature photo post!)

As long as the wee man has his combine in hand he is happy tucked back and up.

Thank you to our generous friends Brian & Kristy for loaning us their child carrier.

We've since found one on KIJIJI!

And in other hiking adventures later on in the weekend near West Bragg Creek...
