Summer's End

Elijah has been enjoying the summer, that's for sure, especially thanks to the town of Crystal Lake. Since having a baby, we've really discovered how beautiful this town is and have come to appreciate all that it has to offer. The summer has been filled with festivals, concerts in the park, strolls along tree-lined paths, sunset picnics at the beach, and Elijah's favorite: the swings on the playground. It's his chance to sit back and appreciate nature while he sways in the breeze. You can't even tell if he's enjoying himself because he becomes void of any expression--like he's meditating. But try pulling him out of the swing before he's ready and he'll let you know!

Can't believe it's September already and summer's coming to a close. But it's bittersweet because the fall has its own offerings... ~Nasreen
