Emerging

I'm enjoying my downtime on the couch this Sunday afternoon.  I earned it.  I already went to the gym, went on a walk with Grace, ran errands and visited family...  Now its me time.  I guess over the past couple of months, when I have had "me" time I wasn't in the mood to blog.  But I've missed it and am ready to rekindle my love affair with my photography and blogging hobbies. 

Grace is napping, the sounds of Sunday football are playing, and the smell of Matt's baking fill the house - and I know, its Fall!  Growing up, I absolutely loved Summer - no school, days at the beach, everybody out and playing.  In Austin, I hate summer.  It is so flippin hot here and everybody hibernates, you literally don't see your neighbors for four months.  It is usually during the first week of October that everybody starts emerging from their houses.  It's the perfect time of year.

What I've really enjoyed since we welcomed "cooler" weather is our nightly park trips after work.  The sun still sitting high in the sky long enough for us to enjoy time to play and get some energy out.  It's weird the older Grace gets the younger I am feeling.  When we are at the park, I want to go down the slide with her, I want to swing on the swings, I want to jump into the soccer practice that is taking place at the park.  It's like the energy she is burning is being transferred to me.  Or maybe it is the four months of hibernation being unleashed.

Hope you are enjoying the first week of October!  Happy Fall!  

oh and I'm obsessed with this video and song!
