Fall Is Here

I'm quite sure that fall is my favorite time of year. We had a cold front move in two days ago. It reminded me of how much I love the cool, crisp air, football season, anticipation of the holidays, brisk walks on cold mornings sipping on an eggnog latte, the aroma of clove, cinnamon, pumpkin, and pine, special visits with friends and families. I am so thankful for these.

I am also so thankful for my two little ones...Aiden and Declan. Aiden is not so little anymore. He just celebrated his 6th birthday on October 29th. He wanted to have a jumping party at one of those bounce house places. He, and ten of his friends from school had a blast jumping and bouncing, and wrestling. What is it with little boys and tackling each other? The party lasted just two hours but Don and I were wiped out for the rest of the weekend. We're getting old. No... our kids are making us old.

By Halloween night both Aiden and Declan had developed Bronchitis and were on antibiotics. Aiden was desperate to wear his Sir Peter Knight of Narnia costume but was so sick. We managed to take them down one street and called it a night. I really wanted Aiden to stay out longer to get my money's worth on the costume I bought. He wore it for about 20 minutes! Being a good huband, Don reminded me that it wasn't about me. I'm so glad I have him to reflect back to me my little ugly heart lol.

The Jorg Clan hits O.C.

As they say in Texas...Hi Y'all. We recently got an opportunity to vacation with our boys out in California. After a two day visit with Grandpa and Nonna at Disneyland, we headed south to our old stomping grounds...the beautiful Rancho Santa Margarita. It was so grand to visit with our family, and finally introduce Declan, to see the ocean, and the mountains. We feel refreshed. Upon returning home, we recognized how much we missed our family and thought it would be a good idea to stay in touch. We decided to create our family blog with updates and photos. Hope you enjoy and thanks for visiting. We love you all.
