It's FALL!!! My favorite time of the year. Ahhh... the air is cooler, the breeze is swift, the trees are turning and losing leaves, the ground "crunches" under your feet. Great sounds, great smells, and great feelings are in the air.
In this part of the country, fall brings the harvest. Owen is a BIG fan of tractors and heavy farming machinery. And, Jason just happens to have some farming connections through work. :) Corwin, Owen, and Jason went to a large cotton farm where they were able to get up-close-and-personal with the machines. Owen even got to take a ride on the huge cotton picker! He was one happy boy.
Ella is growing, changing, and developing at lightening speed these days. She isn't walking, but she is getting brave and taking steps, cruising around the furniture, and crawling everywhere. She is into everything, and constantly chewing on whatever she can get her hands on.
We have been outside lately picking pecans. We have 4 large pecan trees bordering our yard, so I started picking the little jewels up the other day. Today, the boys were put to work. Nana told them she'd pay them for the pecans they pick up. I hope she isn't really hungry for pecans. These boys are pathetic harvesters.
Ella loves it outside. Here are a few pictures of her exploring in the windy afternoon.
Owen is slow, but he's probably more attentive than his older brother.
Corwin has speed on his side, but with physical speed he also has mental...speed. He doesn't focus for long, so he misses a lot of the little camouflaged buggers.
A cold front is headed in, so gone are the 80-degree days. :( I'll miss being outside without a jacket. But, the colder weather brings on new pleasures. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to get to crackin' some pecans.
