{Mason} :: fall twenty - ten
One morning last weekend we {my son + i} were outside enjoying the beautiful cool fall morning! I heart Mason + fall!

WheRe hAs thE tiMe GonE...

WheRe hAs thE tiMe GonE...our little M will be 9 months old next week & we can hardly believe it! He is the absolute joy of our lives & makes us smile every minute. M is moving around lots...an avid crawler & occasionally attempting to stand on this own...although that one hand hold to the coffee table or cabinet comes in quite handy most times. He is in love with mama's spice drawer & the cupboard with all of my pots & pans. There is not too many times that you will walk into our house & not see an assortment of spices & cookware disbursed on the floor! He is so fun! His latest excitement the past few days is clapping...he has learned it & boy does he love it! So great! I just love how such simple things can make a child so happy {sometimes even hysterical}...I wish things that simple made everyone happy...how wonderful that would be. Mason & mama also have been spending lots of time at the pool {aka...jarratt pool} at our neighbors house...we love our afternoon swim and cool down from the summer sun! Oh yes, & the library, another one of our favorites!

Our family is doing well...busy as usual. We are hoping to make a trip to the beach around the 1st of October to have a little r+r, family time & celebrate our 2nd anniversary! So hopefully we can find a few spare days to have some fun! I just booked our plane tickets to MinNeSotA for Christmas {yes I said Christmas..I am a planner}. We will be spending Christmas this year with my parents in MN..the first in many years. I am really looking forward to it...& I think my parents are already counting the days down for the arrival of Mr. M. And YES...I have already started planning Mr. M's big birthday bash...w1nter wONEderland. I am really excited...its gonna be fun!

My newest/biggest adventure has been the development of a 'side' photography business {alexis jones photography}. I have always had a passion for photography, as many of you know...so I decided to finally take a big leap of faith & set out on this new journey. You can visit out my website @ {www.alexisjonesphotography.com} & my gallery @ {alexisjonesphotography.smugmug.com}. The gallery is mostly for clients to view their photos, but I do share a slideshow on that site. I am super excited & blessed to be embarking on this journey...this dream! Maybe I will see you in front of my lense :)

Andy is doing well...busy with work as usual...as he is in the midst of aerial spray season for work. He is looking forward to this fall when he can spend some time on the farm hunting...as it is one of his greatest passions & joys {after Mason, of course}.
