Here it is October and I'm only now getting around to wrapping up our August adventures.

To be honest, my life has been so busy lately I have barely had time to take photos of my own kids. When I eventually get around to an October wrap-up, it'll be pretty sparse. I've been working a temporary job with a long commute, on top of my usual autumn client load, and just haven't had time to slow down.

Of course, something often comes along and forces you to slow down; in my case, it's a hacking cough that really isn't HORRIBLE, but enough to make me feel run-down, make my head pound, and cause lack of sleep. An afternoon of laying in bed helped perk me up, and while I'm editing a family session I decided to sneak in an August blog post.

We fled to the coast and picked blueberries and spent entirely too much time at the river (and yet not enough). Watched the sun set from Nanie's step, modelled some snazzy clothes, dressed up for acommunity parade. We made hodgepodge and spent a night at "the camp". We got our first taste of autumn apples and autumn breezes. We ate tomatoes still warm from the sun. It was a very very good month. I would certainly love to go back.
