September and what little bit of October we've had already has been busy and full of things I didn't really expect. In the past month or two I've been dealing with some stomach issues, so all things insurance and doctors and tests has been pretty frustrating, especially when nothing has been figured out as of yet. So for now I'm just trying to be patient, and getting very bored with a very bland and limited diet (and when I cheat I really regret it, but gee whiz, I miss eating regular food!).
The weather is beautiful now, with cooler temps in the early morning and later evening, and warmer weather during the day. We've had a couple of days that really felt like Fall, but then just a couple of days ago the temperature reached 80 degrees (c'mon, 80 degrees in October?!). This time of year is without a doubt my favorite of all seasons. Of course, there's something about the beginning of Spring after a long winter, the beginning of Summer after a rainy Spring, and who doesn't love Christmas? But Fall is my favorite. It's the kind of weather I wish were all year round, but that might get kind of boring after too long.
Dannie and I took Eva to Anderson Orchard a couple of weeks back, and she was thrilled to play with and pick some "popples." Because she's my daughter, she wasn't too cooperative when I wanted to take a few pictures, so I just got what I could. Hopefully sometime soon we'll go back to get some family pictures. Then, the other day I took her to our local park in Franklin just to get some energy out, especially after being cooped up in the house all day, and to let her play in some of the first fallen leaves of the season that were in our area.
Eva's such an adventurous little person, and I'm hard pressed to keep up with her, but I love getting to capture all these precious moments in her life, before they're long gone. She's going to be two in a month, and I can't believe how fast time has gone. She's still my little baby, but she's a toddler now, with a mind of her own and a very independent spirit. I miss her newborn stage, but this age she's going through right now is so much fun as she's constantly learning and growing, and finally starting to say a lot more words. Her favorite movie is Strawberry Shortcake, so she'll bring it to me and say, "Cake! Cake! Turn on!" Which of course melts my heart. She can pronounce the "ck" sound so well, and in her wee voice it's the cutest thing when she says "pockle" (pickle) and "nack" (snack). She tries my patience practically every day, however, but hopefully it's just this "terrible two" stage she's going through. And no matter how bad she acts, or how much discipline she gets, she sure knows how to melt my heart with her hugs and kisses and "yu you" (love you).

Goodness, I love my little sweetheart, no matter what. I know all the troublesome times are more than worth it, because there's no greater joy than being a parent. And seriously, I know I'm biased, but Eva is just so stinkin' cute! Look no further than this post for proof.
