What I'm Thinking About: September 16, 2006

My son, Sam, last fall at the pumpkin patch...

Quote of My Day...

"When you have once seen the glow of happiness on the face of a beloved person, you know that a man can have no vocation but to awaken that light on the faces surrounding him." --Albert Camus

What I'm Thinking About Today...

Fall. I am thinking about autumn and everything that goes with it, including my 40th birthday. Yes, I'm turning 40. Not quite sure how I feel about it but I'm anxious to get it over with, just as I am anxious to start wearing sweaters and jeans again! I posted this picture of my son, Sam, today not just because it is one of my favorite pictures of him but because I think it is the perfect picture for the quote I picked for today. Sam's face is always lit up with delight and it is contagious to those around him. Since he was born I called him "my sunshine." This picture really reflects the glow of happiness within Sam. It also reminds me that fall is once again upon us and soon we'll be at the pumpkin patch again, but this time I'll have two kids to take pictures of instead of one!

No baby product praises or rants today.....(no time, we're off to the Penn State game!)
