I've been kind of in denial the past couple of weeks that summer is really ending and fall is starting. Seems ironic since last year it was SO HOT until November and I was dying for fall weather to start. It didn't help that I was first trimester with Teddy so was doing one of 3 things - puking, sleeping, or lying on the floor in our (not air-conditioned) house and watching episodes of The Killing on the computer and trying not to feel like death. Good times.
But look! This year I have this really, really cute baby to show for all that hard work. And so far, September has been decidedly more fall-ish than last year around here. Well, fall-ish for southern California which basically means 72* and not sunny. That's the funny thing about so Cal - you can feel the seasons change but they are just far more subtle changes. The air has a new breeze that feels slightly crisper, and the sun isn't quite as strong as it was in August. I kind of love it and I'm starting to get excited for the fall and then the holidays! But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Right now I'm just really happy that the beaches and the parks are empty again (hooray!) and that it's still warm enough for things like swimming on Saturday. 'Cause that's what I really meant for this post to be about.
Most Saturdays this summer have usually ended up at Kirk's parents pool, swimming with the boys, enjoying the 90* pool water and Teddy's baby rolls. I took these at the end of our swimming a few Saturdays ago, so Ace was already inside, finding the other thing that is always a guarantee at G&G Lindahl's house - ice cream. He always asks for some and always gets some. Oh to be two.
He's really just the handsomest two year old ever^! Sigh. Does summer really have to end? I'm going to miss that cute little tan of his. Who am I kidding, he's pretty much always that tan. Wish I had that kid's skin. Thanks for always letting us crash your pool, G-pa and G-ma Lindahl, and always sharing your ice cream. Ace is very grateful, especially. :)
Great life for those cuties!!
ReplyDeleteJust snooping around from Jess' blog. I saw your comment and just had to hop on over. How fun that you have two little boys just like I do! They're the best, aren't they?
