Goodbye Summer...Hello Fall!
School is now back in full swing and we find ourselves settling back into our "long-lost" routines. Paul has moved up to the "3's" Class at school, and has enjoyed spending time with old and new friends, (apparently he has invited his whole class to our house for dinner and to stay overnight???), as well as exploring the weekly themes that his teachers so creatively design. He has developed quite a patriotic spirit, and can often be heard belting out "God Bless America" or "The Star Spangled Banner" in the front lawn or in his room (when he is supposed to be going to sleep). One of his "indoor" pasttimes is reading books (and even catalogs); here he enjoys a Curious George book with Dad.

"Rainy Boots:" Paul has been anxiously anticipating the rainfall that would finally create a puddle big enough to warrant the use of his new galoshes. This was the perfect opportunity...

"Boyz in the Hood"- PJ takes Alex, Paul, and Aiden for a cruise around the neighborhood in the Mustang.

Our annual visit to The Apple Farm in Victor...the "3 Pauls" wait for the wagon to take us up into the orchard...

Mmmmm...Macintosh...applesauce, apple crisp, turnovers, cider, cinnamon donuts...the list goes on and on...

Paul enjoys his visit with Henry Fehnel...Henry is going to be 1 in just a few weeks. Paul was excited to share his toys with him and he is looking forward to teaching him how to play baseball!
