Collin is 2 years, 3 months old.
I'm 30 weeks pg.
The spirit of Autumn has fully encircled me and I don't want to miss a minute of this fall paradise. Here are some October splendors to share with you all!
*Seeing leaves turn a thousand different shades.
*Cooking a hearty stew while the wind whistles outside.
*Savoring the smell of wood smoke floating ion the air.
*Heading outdoors to get energized by the cool, crisp weather.
*Relishing almost-forgotten warm days during Indian Summer.
*Noting how morning frost now covers your lawn and windows.
*Enjoying carved pumpkins that flicker with candlelight on the front porch.
*Hearing crunchy leaves rustle as you make your way down the sidewalk.
*Feeling sheltered and protected as you relax by the warm fireplace.
*Pausing unexpectedly to wonder at the beauty surrounding you.
*Donning cozy knit scarves and hats to keep away the chill.
*Seeing clusters of trick-or-treaters traipse down your street.
*Brainstorming creative ideas for Halloween costumes.
*Simmering cider on the stove for all-day enjoyment.
Happy fall, enjoy!
~Jennifer
