Changes

The days are shorter and the nights are colder. Summer's over. Fall is just around the corner. Soon people will be wearing jackets, blazers, sweaters, coats, whatever they need to keep themselves warm. They'll be storing their flip flops and shaking the dust off their boots.

School's started. Marco and Noah are gone for half a day this entire week. Next week they'll be gone the whole day. They look so different in their school uniforms. Like young men instead of little boys. It's like they grew up right before my eyes.

Karen gave birth today. Her water broke early this morning and was in the hospital for over 12 hours before she started the normal birthing process. After a couple of hours they had to perform a C-section on her. We now have a brand new baby in our family. Baby boy Javier (they still haven't told us what name they've chosen for him).

Time flies by.

Life goes on.
