late August fruit share: 10 pounds of beautiful & fantastic Colorado peaches





waiting for their turn on the Carousel at the Middleton Good Neighbor Festival





'round and around





a trip down the Fun Slide




Sol's first day of third grade!! The sibs pose for a fun picture before parting ways for the day.




After thinking it over for a minute, it was decided that we would be 'allowed' to walk Sol to the bus stop just for the first day of school though. The kids got a head start.




...and he's off!




this year's Orchard Pose at our favorite U-Pick Orchard, Door Creek

Poppy on her preschool Orientation Day




Poppy's first day of preschool finally arrived and she couldn't have been more ready to go.




Toys and activities await the anxious kids and Poppy wasted no time finding the doll house and cars.




A quick picture of my big-girl and I before a quick kiss on the cheek and a good bye, Mama! What a moment!! Really, only one word could describe it for both of us: PROUD.




we raise a cup...or rather, guzzle it down and move on to the next fun thing, to a great start to the school year for both kids and a wonderful fall for us all!
