Happy Fall!

Fall has officially arrived here in Upstate New York! The trees are becoming more colorful and vibrant each day and we have a pumpkin and a mum and have enjoyed some cider and donuts so yep it's official! :)

We've been trying to enjoy getting outside as much as we can before the weather turns. Mathwon and Demani go 'sledding' on the hill in our backyard. The two of them enjoy countless walks and trips outside. Last week Mathwon took Demani to the zoo here in Binghamton...they went to IHOP first for breakfast! We also went to Endicott Cider Mill with friends and Demani enjoyed some apple cider! We went to the Apple Fest and to Apple Hills with Aunt Linda.

We recently enjoyed a visit from Aunt Tiffany, my Aunt Linda and Aunt Nene, and my Grandpa and his sister-in-law Ada May! As well as from Dave, Shelley, and Jaime who were on their way home from seeing Trevor in Boston. It's been a fun month!

And believe it or not, Demani's second birthday is just around the corner....

I think I recently turned a corner ( I hope so) regarding finding myself in Binghamton, NY. This week a bunch of my family is vacationing together in Myrtle Beach. As I texted back and forth with my sister who is there, she texted, I wish you were here. I paused just for a moment and looked at my cozy home, where 2 little angelic faces looked up at me, my hubby was enjoying some well earned football watching, and my oldest was fast asleep in his crib and I thought to myself, I am right where I want to be. It seems so simple and maybe silly but I feel like it is a big step and is progress in the right direction. Nothing feels more right than to have a peace about where you are in life. So though a walk on the beach and hanging with family sounds like a lot of fun - the hills of Bing and the color that is bursting from them is beginning to feel 'right'. Soak up some sun for me Kendra!

Seren and Mekai are all smiles. And Demani has had a lot of tears this week...teething. ;( No fun for a little guy. He is faring well though. He sure dotes on his siblings - he is always hugging them, wiping their faces with a burp rag, or making them smile. He enjoys copying what he sees mom and dad do and has taken to diapering, feeding, and swaddling....his puppy. He puts him in the swing too and pushes the swing...it's just too cute. The babies are growing so fast and will be 4 months old Oct 12 and Demani will be 2 Oct 25!

I'm a little distracted by Demani's cuteness myself:)
Thanks for commenting on my blog. I totally forgot about your blog and now I'm loving reading about your life.
You look so amazing by the way:)

I can't believe the twins are almost 4 months - where has the time gone?!! I swear, Seren looks like you and Mekai looks like Mathwon, it's so adorable! And congrats on finding "home." That has to be an amazing feeling.

I'm glad you're feeling more at home in Bing...but we still missed you;) I did lay out in the sun for ya.

The pictures are awesome!!! I love each of them. I am going to put the one of the 3 of them on my desktop at work tomorrow. Also, did you notice Demani's little calf muscle in the picture of him on the wagon? So cute.

Mekai and Seren are getting so big...I can't wait to see them again!

Great pictures! I love fall, too. I have decorated our apartment with leaf garlands so that I can enjoy the colors of fall. It's still very green outside here!

Oh Bethany, I'm was so glad to read about you feeling at "home". Brought a lump to my throat. Soak in some of that autumn color and crispness for me (how I miss that)...and I'll soak up some of the crispy dried up desert stuff for you!
