September 2009
September has come and gone and fall is definitely upon us here in Oregon. It seemed as if the weather changed overnight, the fog has rolled in and we wake up to a chill in the air. It's beautiful in the fall here, the trees take on glowing colors of every shade from orange to red to yellow.
We spent the first weekend of September at the beach with the Dawson's for the last part of my 30th celebration. Despite the weather reports the weather was beautiful more often than not and we got to take Malachi onto the sand for the first time. He literally "crab" walked but thought it was great! We played games, did a huge puzzle and enjoyed some mushrooms that Matt, Ashley & Dad found hiking in the woods. Malachi also went on his first carousel, he got a bit dizzy as you'll see...we had a wonderful time.
Fall also means football and there's no shortage of that in our home! We are college football nuts, as most of you know I am a die hard Oregon Duck fan! Matt & I were fortunate enough to get tickets to Oregon's game against Utah (thank you Uncle Ron!). We had a blast, it was Matt's first time at Autzen and a great way to kick off the season together. Dad & Gina (GG) watched Malachi for us while we went to the game and had a lot of fun spending some time with him.
Malachi has now learned how to do the "arms up" portion of his "baby can read" program, just in time for football season! I think we've thoroughly confused him by saying touchdown every time he puts his arms up but it's been a lot of fun.
I'm sure you all know but for those of you who don't we are officially expecting baby number 2! I am due on June 3 and we are so excited. There is nothing in the world like being a parent and we feel blessed to be able to conceive without the problems the doctors anticipated. Thank you all so much for your prayers!
We love you all, we'll be seeing a lot of you soon!
