Fall in Santee

 Despite living in So. Cal, we do have seasons in Santee just not to the extremes either of us grew up with.  We do have trees that turn colors and drop their leaves--just in December and January instead of October and November.  And the cold season is really only cold at night.  The past couple of mornings have been around 35 degrees (we don't get snow at our house but we do get frost).  And I say the cold season is really only at night because we have been in the upper 60s lower 70s as highs during the day.  Anyway, this post is not about our weather but taking a break from the kitchen remodel and child care hunt to enjoy the fall colors and leaves in the front yard.

 We raked up some leaves to give us a pile, albeit a small pile.  Then we threw leaves in the air, stomped threw the pile, and jumped into the pile.  It was great fun and just thing to relieve some stress and energy before embarking on the next day care interview.

 Elena had so much fun.  She laid down to look at the planes flying over...and I couldn't resist to snap one last picture of this cutie wrapped in leaves.
