It seems as though this semester had been going on forever but it had just started!  I am hoping for it to go by quickly and as painlessly as possible. Somehow I don't think that that is going to happen. 
On a different note it seems as though fall might be here already!  I have to say that while I love all the seasons for their individual beauty, fall is my favorite with spring a close second.  The warm days and cool nights, the crispness in the air, the colors that change daily, and the smells that come with it all.  I made pumpkin crasien cookies the other day and it invoked memories and visions of fall; Thanksgiving, Halloween, soup, pies, curling up on a couch with a warm blanket and a book, hot cocoa, etc.    Another sighting of fall is football.  Now I am not an avid sports fan of any sport, but I do have four boys and I am pretty much guaranteed to have a boy somewhere on a field on any given night of the week.  This will continue to go into November.  At that point one would think that I will be relieved of sporting events, but then basketball starts, and the cycle continues....My husband has been known to say-"Get used to it-we have four boys and that's what we do-sports!" which of course he is right, but for once it would be nice to do something girly or non sports related!  Oh well! That's my life! And I wouldn't have it any other way because I can not imagine my life with out them!  When life gets crazy with them I remind myself that someday I will get four daughters-in-law and I look forward to that!  But not anytime soon!  They have so much to accomplish in their life before that and I am anticipating each and every milestone!  I am grateful for the positive examples and support that they have in their lives-my husband and I, their aunts and uncles, cousins, grandparents, teachers, leaders, etc.  Where would we all be without the positive examples and supports in out own lives?  I know that I am grateful!  Love you Cameron, boys, Mom and Dad, Brothers and Sisters, -in-laws, friends, neighbors, nieces, nephews, etc.
