Bluebird days flying away

Sun Valley is known for its bluebird days - brilliant blue skies, not a cloud to be seen, we get over 300 of these fabulous days a year. I have been so lucky this summer to be able to enjoy them, but sadly they are coming to an end. Not only is summer fading away, but so is my time off. Today I leave for a trip to England and when I get back in October it will be fall. Owen and I have really enjoyed this time together and I can't believe it's almost over... we had just got into a nice routine. Here's a glimpse at what our typical day had become like:

6:45am: I wake up with Brian and we watch the sunrise while sitting in our hottub on the back deck while Owen sleeps in
7:30am: Brian leaves for work and I get some emailing and computer tasks done before Owen wakes
8am: A bright-eyed, bushy-tailed Owen greets the day and gets a clean diaper and some breakfast
8:30 am: Owen plays with his toys while I do some housework
9am: We take Stanley and Rinsey for a walk in the hills behind our house, Owen in his Ergo where he promptly falls back to sleep
10am: Owen sleeps in his Swing while I finish up the housework and other tasks
Noon: Owen wakes up and we have some lunch together and play
1pm: We go for an outing, either to the grocery store, the Farmers' Market or anywhere else on my ToDo list (Wednesdays its the new mum's group at the hospital, Thursdays the mummy and me meeting at Jimmy's Garden)
4:30pm: We come home and Owen has a snack while we wait for Brian to get home at 5:30pm
6pm: Brian plays with Owen while I cook dinner
7pm: We all hang out together for family time
8:30pm: Owen gets changed for bed, has his dinner and falls asleep
Nighttime: Varied!!!
