Celebrate! Unity

Fall is our favorite time of the year. The coming of Fall signals a drop in temperatures to more acceptable levels, a clearer / earlier dark sky for easier star viewing, Oktoberfest, the release of many choice brews, and the anticipation of winter starts to set in with a lurking inner excitement. Amongst many other things it also signals the start of the holiday season that makes everybody just a bit more festive.

Jessica and I have many Fall traditions and this year we get to introduce Unity to our fun Fall schedule. This offers a very unique perspective for us. Some of our traditions have been kept for over 10 years with just the two of us. Now we have a third member that will enjoy these traditions and make these traditions more enjoyable for years to come.

Unity has been enjoying the Fall a lot. She is not very fond of hot weather (like her daddy) and is welcoming the cooler temperatures. She is very mesmerized by the candles we have lit in the house and has begun to experience sitting around the fire on cooler nights. She is very interested in all the decorations which offer her a lot of new textures. We took her pumpkin picking at a local farm where she picked out her own pumpkin and we all spent an evening at the Zoo for the Jack O Lantern exhibit.

We are anxiously anticipating Halloween and the three of us have already picked out a costume for Unity. She is to young to be spooked by all the Halloween decorations everywhere but she is very interested in the festivities that surround the holiday and I am sure she will enjoy the season as much as Jessica and I.
