Helen Hunt Jackson- September Poem

The goldenrod is yellow,
The corn is turning brown,
The trees in apple orchards
With fruit are bending down;

The gentian’s bluest fringes
Are curling in the sun;
In dusty pods the milkweed
Its hidden silk has spun;

The sedges flaunt their harvest
In every meadow nook,
And asters by the brookside
Make asters in the brook;

From dewy lanes at morning
The grapes’ sweet odors rise;
At noon the roads all flutter
With yellow butterflies–

By all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With summer’s best of weather
And autumn’s best of cheer.

dyk I have always wanted 4 kids -- always since as far back as I can remember

dyk and we decided long ago that Abi being Abi wouldn't stop us from pursuing our family as we wanted it to be

dyk but then sometimes I think that it would be nice to leave an "open chair" so to speak, lol so we can take my niece(s) or a friend of the kids -- we could possibly cart 4 around on vacations and such -- haha

dyk like when we took a family friend with us to Dinosaur Valley State Park

dyk if you could guarantee me more Ellie's -- I'd have babies all day long... haha

dyk but..... we know the flip side

dyk speaking of the flip side... Abi is doing well in school -- the second round of grades that went in brought her reading grade from 57 up to 83!!!

Dyk I would ep if I had to, but I'm so glad I don't.

Dyk in fact, Isabelle is the opposite. She loves the boob, but has only had a bottle twice, and it's definitely not her favorite.

Dyk luckily she's old enough for a sippy cup, so it's ok if she never learns to love the bottle.

Dyk I totally understand why you want to stop pumping at one year!

dyk Ellie is cutting 4 teeth

dyk and cranky with it

dyk this is the first time she's been cranky associated with teething

dyk we didn't even KNOW she cut 4 molars -- until we tossed her upside down and she was schreeching and laughing and we saw them in her mouth! lol
