It’s peak autumn in all it’s glory here in Michigan. The leaves and trees are exploding with colors and finally for Serena- sweater season has arrived! Alexander in autumn at seven months old, has been such a treat. Last Sabbath we took a stroll around Hudson Mills Metropark. We felt like terrible parents leaving both his carrier and stroller in the other car, but it worked out wonderfully (Alex certainly doesn’t mind being held!) as he got to experience fall first hand. He went down the slide with Papa and sat in the leaves crunching them in his little fist and waving his arms excitedly. (Though he did get a little frustrated when we kept giving him leaves and sticks and then not letting him put them all in his mouth.) Papa held his hands while he walked- swish swish, crunch, crunch- along the edge of the path staring at the ground quite perplexed at the sounds his little feet could make. And more than once we caught him gazing out in wonder at the fine colors of golden hour. Of course we couldn’t pass up this perfect photo op! (Click here see the gallery at Flickr.) Indeed, fall is here in all its splendor- enjoy it now, Alexander- next year papa will be handing you a rake.
Do you scrapbook, Serena? These photos would make a PERFECT layout. You are blessed with a beautiful family and lovely fall weather. I miss Michigan autumn.–Abby
What a delightful picture of David and Alexander! They’re all really good. I know how much you love fall- I’m glad you three are having so much fun!
I’d say we captured the flavor of the event pretty well, though photos never do it justice. T’was fun indeed sharing another “first”.
Love ya, LMN
