So here is the thing that I'm beginning to remember about Florida in the month of September...it's still hot and it's annoying! Especially when you're watching your morning news show and the anchors are wearing their cute fall sweaters and pea coats. It makes me sick.  BUT I'll have the last laugh come February and March, you'll see. However, here is the great thing about Florida this time of year, you can still go to the beach, which is where we are this weekend.

It's hard to believe that Wes will be one in a few shorts weeks. I was talking to his Aunt Sara on the phone the other day about babies (you know she just had one herself). We were discussing the usual, you know, sleep, eating, etc. I was telling her that I really don't remember what we did for Wesley when he was a newborn. I do remember the tears (on my part) but not the stress behind it, which is why I guess people have more kids.  Anyhow, I'm trying to decide on his birthday theme. Now I know that Wes won't know what's going on but I want to have a theme. Someone told me once that a kid's first birthday is really just an excuse for parents to drink beer, which may be true but at least we can have cute decorations to look at while we're at it. So originally I thought I would have a baseball theme since Ben likes baseball so much (you know so we can start as soon as possible brainwashing him into liking baseball as well). BUT now I'm thinking just a "ball" theme in general. Wes loves balls! So I thought that I would go and buy those cheap balls at Wal-Mart, all sizes, maybe some footballs and other shapes, and then some balloons (which he also loves). My grand vision is starting to come together. His B-DAY is Oct. 11, all are invited.
