October!

One of my favorite months of the year. And with perfect timing the weather has turned off cool - my first long sleeves yesterday morn. Still working hours each day making this house our home. Nearly done with all the boxes.

Have taken my efforts outside - much of today was spent painting in the laundry room while Levi rolled & tumbled with Sadie. At one point he made off with an umbrella - I turned around to see him sitting beside Sadie holding the umbrella over them, creating a patch of shade.

Some shots from the last week around here:
