Don’t be fooled by their grins or their jack-o-lanterns. these boys meant superhero business

Fall-tastic
The change from summer to fall is hands down probably my most favorite season change- I don’t know if it’s bulkier sweaters, rainbow socks on my feet, or the bold and flaming colors on the trees. I love all of it, and then some more. On the first day of fall, I declared a new tradition- dinner menu consists of graham crackers, marshmallows and Hershey bars- put it together through a crackling fire, and you’ve just screamed “hello fall, I freaking love you”
They say noone else thinks your kids are as cute as you think they are. I can’t figure that out because seriously, when my kids are like this, I just wanna eat them up….doesn’t everyone? I mean look at her dimples and his sweet grin….
Kindergarten Kiddos
It’s Sunday night, and I’ve just worked an 8 hour pharmacy shift in addition to 2 hours of driving. I am beat. And I missed the kids so much today. And so I was feeling nostalgic. and wanted to go through old pics, and I was like these are too cute not to share so here are a few of my favorite pics from their first day of school
These two have found this new independence as kindergarteners- they feel so elite now that they’re not Pre-K kids anymore. And I love seeing them feel “big”. It’s a big deal that they’re old enough to wear uniforms, learn a second language, and ride on a school bus. I love hearing their stories about what they like and dislike about school, who wasn’t so friendly on the playground, and just hear how they are soaking up everything around them- what people say, how kids behave- it’s all so impressionable, and I love the first 15 minutes of when I pick them up. It’s a rapid firing of random happenings throughout the day- first Aku, then Anu, then Aku interjects…most times, it doesn’t all make sense. But I also know to just let it be, because there might be a time when I will have to force these “how was your day” conversations.
Before KG started, we took a family vacation to Myrtle Beach, which was pretty much a piece of heaven. We did nothing and everything- we were unscheduled, spontaneous, and careless with time. I can’t remember the last time I didn’t feel the pressure of a timepiece telling me what I should be doing next. The week away was probably one of my most favorite vacations yet.

Summer snapshots….
I am a bit disappointed that I didn’t take a whole lot of pictures this summer, but there were random moments that I did manage to capture and today, as I was sorting and filing, I couldn’t help but smile…
This summer, we celebrated 6 months since this little guy joined us and gave me the long awaited title of Maasi
Nooshi had her first dance recital, which was a lot of fun, for her and for me….I loved getting her all dolled up, and she loved the attention.
We got to catch up with family….the kids spent time with their Michayal achachen from TX…
And they spent time hanging out with some of their favorite pals from church, Serena chechi and Jason. Anu is absolutely enamored with this girl, and I’m so thankful for Serena indulging her love.
The kids got dressed up for some swanky events
And random summer silliness
A few weeks into moving in, our HVAC on the 2nd floor gave out, forcing us to sleep on the floor on the first floor. We ended up sleeping there for almost a week….caught this endearing moment one night
