Changing leaves!

Welcome Fall!! It is so beautiful here, and everything is ushering in the new season.  Butternut squash for $1.00/ kilo, clementines, flu shots, and lots of rain (it is the rainy season) although the weather is still between 65-70 F. Here are some pictures in the courtyard of our apartment building. 
The courtyard outside our door
Can you see the rain drops? It had just started to rain!
Daddy and the kids
Thomas getting ready to take off...he just goes and goes now!
 Some of the leaves outside our balcony
Thomas and the leaves
Daddy and Thomas (10 months) and walking well.
Miss Olivia, 5 years old. Currently going ballistic in gymnastics. She has been in Kindy since January and loves it.
Mary Bear, 3 years old.  Mary's middle name is Adelle. She hates her middle name. If we call her Mary Adelle she screams that it is not her name. Her name is Mary A Swinton (not A like the letter, A like "uh") Mary...uh Swinton is what she says her name is :-)

Can't believe how BIG Thomas is getting! Standing already! The leaves are gorgeous but your family is even lovelier. =)

I can almost smell the crispy autumn air... but we are just embarking on a wonderful summer full of sun, water, & sunscreen!

I can't believe that Olivia is 5. Wow! Your children are adorable. You are so adventurous in the "land down under".
