Happy Fall

Tomorrow marks the official first day of Fall, although you wouldn't know it. It is still 90 plus degrees every day and I can't really remember the last time it rained. Soon enough the air will be crisp and the leaves will start to turn. I can't wait!! This is my absolute favorite time of year. And this is going to be the best Fall season ever because I have a new little one to share it with.

Maine and back again

Well, we did it. We packed Beckett up and took him on his first airplane and he did GREAT! Ben has a lot of family in Maine, so we headed up there for a wedding over Labor Day. We took tons and tons of pictures, but this is just a quick recap of the trip.

This is where we ate breakfast in downtown Portland the first morning we were there. It was featured on "Diners, Drive-in's and Dive's". Ben had a lobster omelet that was the size of his head. Gretchen (Ben's sister) and I both had dishes with fresh, local blueberries, Beckett slept through it :)
The state parks in Maine are BEAUTIFUL!!
Beckett and Aunt Gretchen. She was a huge help with Beckett on this mini vacation. Thanks Gretch!!


We couldn't visit Maine and not get a lobster roll. This was our view from the picnic table at the restaurant.
This is one of my favorite family pictures.
The fam at Reid State Park. Hurricane Earl was supposed to hit Maine while we were there but luckily the weather held out. The rough seas behind us and a couple of clouds was the extent of the storm.
I'm surprised Beckett is enjoying this because the water was absolutely freezing!!
Beckett and his cousin Rachel

After a day in Portland, we headed up to Bethel. The condo we had was right on the golf course, literally, we walked out our back door and we were standing on the fairway. Needless to say Ben was in heaven.

We ended the trip attending Andrew and Melissa's wedding. Beckett fell asleep in my arms on the dance floor but at least we got this great family picture!!
