Happy Autumn!!!



There's no fireworks, there's no hiding eggs or decorating a tree, but there should be some recognition of the most important holiday of the year-- The first day of Autumn!  Fall is officially here as of September 23rd, and I'm trying to think of a way to honor it annually. Any thoughts? I've tried putting leaves around my humble abode in past years. The tape looked a bit tacky, and I can never live down the comments I received from friends. I usually get some sort of pumpkin beverage, pumpkin food, and/or pumpkin (gord) itself, but I don't know if that's good enough. I always by a "fall" candle to make the place smell as good as the outside goodness! However, I want to honor my favorite season more loudly. Hmmm...... What else could I do to start a tradition in the new Smith family...

Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!  I just LOVE this time of year. I'm like a true 3 year old at Disney World!!!!!!!

Happy Fall!!!!

Here is what Wikipedia has to say about Mr. Flately's Dance: "Lord of the Dance is an Irish musical and dance production that was created, choreographed, and produced by Irish-American dancer Michael Flatley, who also took a starring role. Michael Flatley found his first fame starring in Riverdance, but he left the show in 1995 before its debut in London after a disagreement over creative control. F

When you smile...

The whole world smiles! This was his very first "conscious smile" Who says you can't dress up little boys for fun too? Silas enjoyed sleeping at the lake instead of fishing or swimming. Anyone surprised? Our newest pastime consists of singing to Silas until he shows us his new array of smiles. Matthew discovered this newest ability when he began singing a classical ballad... I won't embarrass him by naming the lyrics. It doesn't matter how tired you are, this will make everything better! I mean come on. Are you still having a bad day? Did that make it better yet!? Had my  first few outing without the little man to go to coffee, dance, and this beautiful woman's wedding shower. Love you Christi! Thanks to my old roomie for some over-sized coffee mugs to start my day right. A cup of joe and the Word make life worth living. This is his favorite gesture.  I think he's solving the world's problems. That a boy Silas. I knew
