Good morning!

I’m currently sitting under the bedroom window, watching the sky change colors. It really is the most beautiful when you get to wake up and have a slow start to the day rather than rushed chaos as is the norm. Ha.

We did manage to get outside yesterday. Which is nice because it’s going to be raining a bit this morning!

I remember this from last year. That we had stayed through all the fall colors in Chicago and then made our way out to California where the fall colors lasted a few extra weeks. San Ramon is filled with all the beautiful fall foliage and walking under the trees gives me such a happy feeling. It felt like I cheated the system. Getting to enjoy all the fall feels in Chicago and then getting a little extra dose of it when we flew back for Thanksgiving.

After a short time at the playground, we made our way over to the library for storytime. I love this little library so close to home. It’s always got so many events going on for littles to bigs (a crochet night?!).

Not to mention, this county is always the shortest wait time on Libby for high demand books.

By the time we got home, both kids were pretty tired.

Ishu’s not usually a napper, but somehow being in San Ramon at Dadi’s house makes him one tired cookie. Riyu took a real long nap and Ishu got a nice 45-minute nap in.

When they woke up, we played Pickleball and rode bikes in the backyard.

And then spent the rest of the evening watching the drunk baby dancing around the living room, falling on his diaper butt one too many times.

It’s been a cozy couple days. And I’m not trying to rush us through this vacation, but part of me is counting down the days ’til we see Ankur. Every sweet moment we spend here makes me want him to be a part of it with us.

Two more days ’til Papa is in town! Can’t wait.
