some trees, a ceiling, and eating

We have a bit of catching up to do, I guess.  Fall is in full effect now, and we've had a nice time poking around the city.  Each week that passes brings some new skills to Cal's set- he's happy to help out with his feeding by smashing his fist into the spoon or bottle, he rolls over in several directions, and he has an amazing variety of shrieks at his disposal.

Autumn is probably my favorite time of year (really unique, I know).  I find myself listening to music and thinking 'yeah, this is a good fall song', crisp air is the best kind of air, and biking home in the dark is still enough of a novelty that it's interesting instead of the grind it's going to be in January*.  Two years ago at this time we were carefree and on vacation in Paris; last year we were getting used to the idea of being parents, and to living in another country; now we've got a mildly crazy little human dominating our lives.    It's been an interesting progression.  Anyway, autumn is the king of all seasons- here are some pictures from the last few weeks, featuring dying leaves, King's college chapel's roof, and Calvin's adventures in eating.  Sam will have a more exciting post in the next few days involving Welsh rugby.

*The dark colored (coloured) cows that loom out of the shadows and randomly loiter on the bike path make it like a terrifying game, so maybe the novelty won't wear off until February.
