Fall Festivities Begin

 - by McCall

My favorite season has just begun! Just look at this forecast, there are few perfect weeks of weather every year and I think this is one of  them.

Not too hot, not too cold. Sweaters in the evenings, t-shirts during the day. I LOVE it!

I started a new fall tradition this year– canning peaches. Stephe’s sisters showed me the ropes, and did almost all the work, while I tried to keep Colin happy. Next year will go much smoother… I hope.

Also, this week we did my “all time” favorite fall activity — dipping carmeled apples. I plan on doing this at least 4 more times before fall is over.

Thanks Dan and Robynn for hosting us.

I loved dipping individual slices in different toppings so that we could taste different combinations. Here is a list of toppings that go amazing with carmeled apples: coconut, nuts, crushed Oreos, cinnamon and sugar, Heath bar pieces, Reeses Pieces, M&Ms, mini chocolate chips, and any combination mixing these together.

And no blog post is complete theses days without a picture of Colin!

Colin had his 2 month Doctor appointment and weighs 12.5 pounds and is almost 24 inches.

Colin’s favorite fall activity so far is not sleeping… fun!  :(
