"Autumn, the year's last, loveliest smile." -William Cullen Bryant

September flew by. Back to work for me--I love having Paige here every day! She and Gray "play" (they do notice each other now) and have a great time. They are definitely keeping me busy. Grayson is rolling all over the place, loves to bounce, laugh and smile, and has two teeth now.

We recently traveled to Pine City and Walton to see our families. We are looking forward to this month-seeing Lisa and Maddy, as well as seeing some of our other friends we rarely get to see!

We cant wait to take Grayson pumpkin and apple picking.

Look for some new pics soon, I promise to post more often!!

The summer has been a lot of fun! Grayson has grown so much and continues to thrive. He loves laughing and spending time outside. We just love watching him grow into a little boy!!!

Last weekend was a haze of traveling...we drove to Walton on Thursday night to stay over and drop off Gray. Grandma and Grandpa Orton watched him while we went on to Albany Friday morning for Tyler and Kelly's wedding. The rehearsal dinner was Friday night--Kyle then styed at Tyler's and I drove up to my sister's to see her and Maddy. The wedding was on Saturday afternoon at the Glen Sanders Mansion in Scotia, NY. It was a beautiful wedding, set on the Mohawk river. Tyler and Kelly were so happy-it was great seeing them experience their special day. Kyle was the best man and gave a wonderful speech at the reception. We are so happy for Tyler, Kelly, and their boys!!After the wedding we drove back to Walton for the night. Sunday we met up with Greg and Jess for lunch at the Vestal Moes--felt like we never left the Bing.





Tyler and Kyle at the rehearsal dinner. Don't they both look handsome!

Kyle spent Sunday with our friend John (aka Doobie) at the NASCAR race in Watkins Glen. He had been wanting to go for quite some time and finally got his wish when Doobie had an extra ticket. They had pit passes and got to meet Matt Kenseth. Lucky guy!!





Meeting Matt Kenseth!

















Thanks for the ticket DeWALT (and Brian Smith!)














I am a true fan now!















Kyle and Doobie!












Sitting across from the pit-pretty good seats for Kyle's first race!
