september is here and i’m excited about what it promises to bring. cooler temperatures. autumn. it’s the gateway to all of our celebrations [except for em's birthday]. soon, we’ll be celebrating my birthday. halloween [a halloween bash sounds fun!]. thanksgiving. our anniversary. kacey’s birthday. christmas. oh my!

one fun addition is having em with us experiencing these things for the first time. it’s my first birthday with her. it will be her first halloween. her first thanksgiving. our first anniversary with her in our lives. the first time kacey turns a year older as a father. her first christmas. i’m excited. we both are.

ps – aren’t these butterflies pretty? i found them frolicking in the green, green grass.
