Nicky's Explorations: Fall is here

The leaves around here are changing color and it is simply beautiful. Looking up at the mountain behind my apartment makes me happy because it is so pretty! The other day Rob and I went out to photograph some of the beauty we're seeing and that was fun. Earlier today my friend Sam and I went for a walk up Rock Canyon because it was such a beautiful day. We still have pretty high temperatures during the day which I'm enjoying.

The boys are 5 months today. They're so much fun, although they haven't been sleeping through as consistently as I would like. Thomas is managing to move his whole body - not rolling, but he moves like a worm. Really, it is actually pretty hard to describe what he does. But, I really have to watch him. Today he nearly fell out of the car seat (from the top) because he was wriggling so much. Luckily Rob managed to catch him in time. The car seat was on the floor so he wouldn't have fallen too far. They're also finally big enough to wear the jersey/sweater that Gran knitted for them. For church yesterday they wore their sweaters and the pants Gran and Gramps sent. Rob took a picture just before church. However, they had just been woken up so neither was particularly happy at the time.

Our biggest news is that we are going to South Africa for three weeks in December. Yes, we're arriving December 4th and leaving December 25th. We found a great deal and so we just bought our tickets. So, we'll spend some time in Johannesburg and then head to Cape Town. Then spend a final day or two in Johannesburg before we fly out again.
