Wow – fall is coming FAST. I seem to forget that this happens every year. The days getting shorter, the needing a coat or a sweater in the morning, the fact that we aren’t obsessed with mowing our lawn weekly because it’s going to snow soon anyway so who cares?
I am sitting on the couch with a fabulous semi-warm & semi-cool breeze coming in the front door. There are still boats out on the lake and why wouldn’t they be, it’s still in the 70s. But I guess I still think of football season meaning the end of summer.

Video of the lake
Here is video of Mallory playing in the lake yesterday.
Disclaimer: It is a long video and there is stupid mom commentary. You’ve been warned.
I DIDN’T PROOF THIS VIDEO BEFORE POSTING AND JUST REALIZED IT STALLS AT 4 MINUTES. THAT MAY BE THE END OF IT OR IT GOT SCREWED UP WHEN I UPLOADED.
Just for Mother Hen

I'm so proud of my husband
My husband isn’t very good at reading my mind and he isn’t so great at giving me foot rubs but I was SO proud of him yesterday when he finished his triathlon. I had tears in my eyes as he crossed the line and I started running down to see him, completely forgetting to keep an eye on Mallory.
find the dark blue hat with the white block M on it…a little left of center of the picture.
The race was supposed to start at 7.15a but was delayed an hour because of fog on Lake Michigan. Mallory & I slept …
Mine!!
When we were at Disney in May, we rode the Finding Nemo ride. Seeing as how Mallory was only 18 months old at the time, we haven’t had to get into Disney stuff just yet. Out in front of the ride, they had those birds from the movie (I think they were seagulls?) saying “MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE”. It was pretty funny even though we’d never seen the movie. Mallory got a kick out of them, kneeling down to watch them under the fence.
Well, Mallory’s new word at home is “MINE!”. Whenever she sees something she wants, she yells …

Here is a little video of Mallory doing the alphabet. Well, part of the alphabet.

Bug bites + topple down the stairs = cro-magnon forehead
Holy huge! Mallory always gets some big welts and bumps from all bug bites she gets, but yesterday she got tagged by a swarm of something on her forehead and that sort of swelled up. Then today she fell down the concrete steps at the football building and got a scratch on her bug bites.
Her forehead is so puffy – poor kid. At least she isn’t scratching the bug bites anymore though.
