Merry Autumn Days

Red leaves rustle,
Red leaves bustle,
Red leaves spin,
October's in!
~quote from "Oh, What a Busy Day"

Brief visit from grandparents before baby #2 comes

Liam attempting to throw leaves at dada

Recently discovered the fun of throwing leaves in the air

Tim joined us at a Forest Preserve between classes.

"Merry Autumn Days"
'Tis pleasant on a fine spring morn to see the buds expand,
'Tis pleasant in the summertime to see the fruitful land;
'Tis pleasant on a winter's night to sit around the blaze,
But what are joys like these, my boys, to merry autumn days!

We hail the merry autumn days, when leaves are turning red,
Because they're far more beautiful than anyone has said.
We hail the merry harvest time, the gayest of the year;
The time of rich and bounteous crops, rejoicing and good cheer.
~Charles Dickens

Look at that cute little boy. He's going to make such a good big brother. Sweet boy! Give him hugs and kisses from his Georgia relatives.
