Although autumn doesn't officially begin until Monday, today sure felt like the first day of fall. It was beautiful - crisp air, clear blue skies, fallen leaves crunching under your feet. We're back to our normal routine (Nora had school this morning), but it's a lot more fun having Omi here to keep us company. After naps, we went back to the Ocean View beach for a picnic dinner. It was a little windy and a bit chilly, but the girls had a blast anyway. I ran back and forth across the waves lapping at the shore with Nora, and then brought Caroline down to dip her feet. Earlier today, we dressed Caroline in a pair of embroidered overalls that Ellen or Carol made for me when I was a baby...our little vintage baby. Caroline's been drooling lots, so Omi suspects that more teeth are coming (because teeth always seem to erupt when she's here for a visit!). She's getting stronger and stronger and it won't be long before she's taking steps (Caroline, that is). She's also trying to say words that begin with "b," like ball, bear and bottle. She pronounces them all the same ("Buh"), but she seems to know that those objects start with "b."
