The Internet is this great thing just out there and it can be full of funny bits, good things and inspiration.  "Having a hot body is just not my thing. I care a little, I don't care a lot." - Drew Barrymore. This girl can do Halloween. The "Red" costume is my favorite! Pharrell's Happy is...

Lia: she took way less interest in this year's pumpkin carving than past years. I'm hoping it's just a fluke and not the start of her growing up way to fast! Nicolas: the looks this kid gives. He took his first hayride and seemed to love it. I'm doing this series - a portrait...

I have to get it to our little town. It doesn't typically scream Fall around here. And that usually puts me in a funk right about now that makes me take cover in bed all day with a Meg Ryan marathon. Actually, that sounds pretty good now anyways. But! It's been feeling suspiciously...

Lia: the weather is cooling and family walks in the evening are becoming a thing again. It makes a happy bunch of us. Nicolas: turns out if you put a hat on a handsome 9 month old, he starts to resemble his much older nephew a bit and the idea of him growing up fast makes me weak...
