I can’t believe it’s almost the middle of August already. This means that autumn, blessed cooler autumn is on its way. Fortunately, Autumn warmth lasts almost all the way to Thanksgiving.

Its been a fairly eventful summer so far. We visited Madison in May, had my parents out in June, had Mike’s parents out in July so we could trek up to NYC and see Spamalot, which was very funny and has an excellent soundtrack.

We also got all new carpet and hardwood in the house! Its awesome, except that hardwood makes it easier for ants to trek across the living room and find things like cat food or bits of food Adam has tossed onto the floor. Note the lovely new hardwood beneath him.

And speaking of Adam, he’s going to be 2 next month. I can hardly fathom that he’s getting to be so old. I look at old photos of Adam and I can’t believe he’s such a big boy now. He’s even started to talk more and has an almost unnatural obsession with cars and trucks. Of course, he doesn’t call them cars or trucks, he calls them collectively “du-du“s. Except for busses — he seems to know that word quite well.

I’m looking forward to the end of 100 degree plus days, and the beginning of fall harvests, the Maryland Renaissance Festival, and all the other fun, festive, fall activities.

Corn Maze, anyone?
