Out with summer, in with Fall...

Hi all - our first post.....
Summer is ending, and Fall is fast approaching!! We are sad to be closing up our pool, as Austin and Bell had such a fun time in it this summer. On the other hand we are looking forward to fall, my favorite time of year. Isabella became a water rat this summer and loved both the big pool and her little baby one, that is of course until she learned to climb in and out of it -over and over again!!
Bell is crawling all over at warp speed these days, as well as pulling up on anything and everything. She loves to climb stairs, and sadly the only ones we have in our home are the drop down attic ones, which she is pretty good at climbing I might add.
Austin has begun a new school year in a new school. Off to middle school, with the changing of classes and a locker that is too far out of the way for him to use most of the time (can you believe my baby is that old!). He will be swimming on the Lake Forest team again for the winter season, and gets his bottom braces on today!
Don and I always seem to be busy. When Don isn't working at work, he has been working around the house. Football season has begun, so you know where he can be found on Sundays now!!
I am busy with Bell and the business (www.handsfreebaby.com), and loving every minute of being a work-at-home / stay-at-home mom!! We just did a photo shoot here at our house yesterday for a babywearing article coming out in October in the Delaware Parent magazine. I think the dogs even made it into some of the shots.
Come back and find out want we are up to.... I will post (with pics!!) at least weekly - hopefully more.
Love,
Karen and Family
