Little Tiny Cute Daisy: Home!

Well, a week ago, we drove 2 hours away and scooped up little Daisy, at about 13 weeks old and about 12 pounds big! She is such a love and I think she loves her new home. She is keeping us very busy, but more very soon!

homework

Well, this September marked the first year in a (VERY) long time that I did not have a first day of school. SO STRANGE! I have managed to fill up my time plenty this early fall school semester. Working at a university still keeps me in the spirit of 'going' back to school. And I even finished a manuscript of my dissertation for journal submission. I have found some different kind of homework though...stay tuned!!

September Sky

I have said it 100 times, I love fall. (mums, pumpkins, sweaters, soups...) All of it! Another amazing thing about the beginning of fall? The sky. It is just incredible. And the sparkly ocean. My grandma always mentions the early fall sparkly water, sitting in her chair overlooking the view of the ocean.

In a recent whirlwind trip home, I was on fast forward for the most part. In about 50 hours, I managed to see as many family members as possible (this is no easy feat!!) But all of a sudden, at one point, Kevin and I found ourselves with about 45 minutes of no plans/no running. I always say that when I visit RI, I never have time to see the ocean. So we grabbed the cute kids, got coffee and pumpkin muffin (YES!) and drove to a little beach. And stared at the clouds and sparkly ocean for a little while. It was fantastic.

excited for an adventure
