Well, waiting in a running vehicle to best the little one's second nap. What we wouldn't do for a little damn peace and quiet...I kid, I kid. And not so "little one," but speaking of "kids" Ollie celebrated his first 365 days on September 1. Another child survived us this year, and we him. Had a nice little party for both O and big sister Elle; our connections in this corner of the world keep bringing love and light to our home. Pretty lucky in our eyes.
On a day off celebrating days on, we all transition into some big changes this week. Elle is moving up to her next room - the daycare shifts most kids around a typical Sept start, so good practice for kindergarten in two years (!). I myself am going back to full-time days M-F with both outpatient gigs at the non-profit and private practice. Then, to add on more for us all, I initiate my yoga teacher training this weekend. Om shanti, you might say - and I to the light in you - namaste! Ever grateful to see the threads of knowledge continually in this tapestry of life...
And for what it's worth, fall equinox is upon us, and this time of year just has me in a jitterbug/happily flustered state: the apple picking, the pumpkins, the sweatshirts, our 5th wedding anniversary. For that glorious weekend my folks will be here to care for the beans while Mike and I have our first non-kid weekend ever since kids. Like, as in 3 years. Ummm, can't wait.
So I hope your "Sunday" Labor Day is a culmination of the calm before school or seasonal shifts or perhaps just long legged pant wearing again. We have enjoyed our garden offerings, but I do so look forward to the crisp morning frosts and lattes with girlfriends even more!
