more fall

We have been trying to enjoy as much fall as we can the last few weeks. It has been chilly here and we have had so much rain but on sunny days we have picnics outside, go on walks, ride bikes, or just go to the park. Pretty much all the things we do in the summer, just with jackets and the sense of urgency feeling...... like any day could be the last "nice day" until spring. So we are trying to make the most of these gorgeous fall days before the dreaded winter comes.

We were also blessed with a visit from the Springer's this weekend. It was so fun to have them stay with us and the kids are already missing them. Hopefully the next time we get together it will be even more fun :)

Out my back window

Seriously! This is the gorgeous view I get to look at everyday from my kitchen window. It makes me happy. I LOVE watching the seasons change, but FALL is always especially beautiful to me.

We teach em' young

Why else do people have kids if not to put them to work.

Ethan is supposed to have a dish night once a week and it has actually been like a month since I've had him do it. So tonight I decided would be a good night to re-start and since He can't do ANYTHING without his little shadow/buddy, Molly helped. It was so funny, but they actually made a great team and did a really good job. Maybe we should have a dish night every night?

It's FALL!!!!

Fall in Ohio is always one of my favorite times. Although this year, here in Cleveland, it is a little colder than I'm used to, which I feel has somewhat limited our fall adventures. But despite the cold it is so amazingly gorgeous here! The trees in the last few days have been unbelievable and WE (me included) have been getting really excited for Halloween.

HaPpY FaLL!!!!

REUNITED

Conference weekend I was lucky enough to see two of my really good friends. Trisha came out for a visit from the rocky mountains and Melanie drove down from Buffalo. (Julia you would've made my life complete) Anyways we had a fabulous weekend. We went to beautiful Kirtland to see the sites and then just hung out the rest of the time like old times, laughing and reminiscing til 2 am. It was soooo fun and I've been wishing ever since that I could get together with all my favorite girls more often. Thanks again for coming ladies..... it was much needed :)
