Daily Living
We closed up the beach house last weekend which is the earliest we ever closed the house. Bill wanted to head out to the mountains or out western Pennsylvania to photograph the Fall foliage so we are off to Carlisle this morning.
In the meantime here are some pictures from our last weekend at Cape May.
We had dinner with my father then headed out to the beach to capture the sun set and the full moon rise. It was a magical evening.
Two weekends ago we took Aubree to visit my parents (her great grandparents) at their home in Washington Crossing.
Aubree loves her grandmother "Mar" and makes herself very comfortable when she visits my parents.
Aubree is nearly two years old and repeats every word anyone says. She is also a Daddy's Girl and it is really sweet to hear her talking to her Daddy, (My son Josh). It is even funnier to hear her tell my son, "NO DADDY" when he asks her "What are you up to, Aubree"?
Aubree is a gift from God and the gift of Aubree, my littlest grandchild, has brought me so much joy over the last two years.

Saturday Morning
It was cute to see my middle son write a paper last night for school. He is in an accelerated program at Villanova and goes to class Friday nights 6 to 930 then all day Saturdays 9 to 4. His immediate goal is to be a Certified Recovery Specialist in the Drug & Alcohol field. Once he completes his classes, he will sit for a state board exam. He really loves being a student at Villanova and I am happy he has a foreseeable goal.
My oldest son also returned to school this Fall. He is a part time student at Community College taking English Literature and an English Writing Course. He told me the events surrounding his youngest brother prompted him to return to school and his goal is to major in Criminal Justice.
Both boys are doing really well in their classes. One boy was writing a paper at the dining room table late last night while I was on the phone with the other boy who told me he just finished up a paper for his English class. The boys are all adults in their 30's.
The apple does not fall far from the tree. Their mother seems to always be in a classroom too and she is nearing retirement and a grandmother.
Bill and I are going to take the grandsons to the movies tomorrow to see Hotel Transylvania. Seems to be an appropriate movie for this time of the year. Aubree's Halloween costume arrived yesterday. Josh wanted her to be "Pebbles" for her first Halloween and amazingly we found a costume online and had it shipped.
Yesterday, I ordered her party dress from Macy's for her first Christmas and/or first birthday which is December 21st. It is black velvet on the top and white organza on the bottom with a red stash and rose flower at the waist. I also ordered black Maryjane's.
I will not mentioned I also ordered two pair of boots for me:) The boots are the same design just different colors. Everyone must have a new pair of black and brown boots for the new season. Last week it was two new pairs of flats in black and nude colors.
Bill and I stayed home from the shore this weekend because of the rain though I wonder if we should have went down to check on the house since there have been high winds and flooding in the area and our backyard is the "wet lands". I am sure the community will contact us if there are any issues as they did last year when a tree fell on our screen room. We will be closing up the house soon for the winter.
Winter. It will be here before we know it!
Then, the holiday season and all its craziness will be upon us. I am already thinking about what to buy for Christmas gifts though most gifts will be in the form of cash or gift cards. Unless the older grandchildren ask for something specific, they will probably receive cash/gift cards. As they get older they have specific tastes therefore it is difficult to buy for them. Reservations have been made for months now to celebrate Nikolas's birthday at the resort in the mountains which we do every November. This year I reserved a one bedroom suite because the boys are older and require more room than a basic hotel room. Pretty soon, we will be reserving connecting rooms. It still blows my mind that Shaun is 14 years old and a Freshman in high school. I am just glad he still likes to hang out with his grandparents and never turns down a movie date or weekend away.
Anyway to close this post, let me share this week's pictures,
Mom came to visit.
My adorable girl Aubree came to visit.
Tasting Breyer's Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream minus the chips with grandma.
Swimming in her Minnie Mouse Tub.
The girl is always crawling under tables to investigate.
The Pope was in town.
Winter clothes shopping for Aubree.
I am in a wine club where we taste test wines and write about them. This was this week's wine.

It Is the Weekend
Saturday
Evidence that kids were in the home.
Love that my family can just pop in at anytime.
Sunday
Do you think we like candles?
