Happy First Day of Fall!

Today is kind of like a holiday~it's the first day of FALL, my most favorite time of year!  In an effort to savor the moment (in many areas of my life right now), I was inspired by a friend to make a list of all the things I love about the here and now~so I'm making a list about what I love about Fall.  Just thinking of these things brings a smile to my face and makes me so excited!  Feel free to add to the list in the comment section~there are so many things I could think of and I'd love to hear what you love, too!

*  Filling the house with the scent of a pumpkin candle~all the time!

*  Making and enjoying my Harvest Pumpkin Cake with caramel icing...YUM YUM

*  Crisp, cool days with bight blue skies and  nights chilly enough for just a jacket 

* Red, yellow, orange, & brown leaves of all shapes and sizes

* Hearing the crunch of the leaves while going for long walks

*  Watching football or just having it on in the background while I do things around the house
GO DAWGS!

*  Breaking out the jeans and scarves and jackets and tall boots

*  Pumpkins & mums for my porch!

*  Hayrides and trips to the pumpkin patch

*   Chili with fritos and tomato basil soup with grilled cheese (Food & Co, and Bread & Co's are the best!!)

*  Mark's birthday~10/10!

* Going to Keeneland race track in Lexington~SO fun

* Trick or treaters and our annual Halloween party

*  Seeing God's beauty and faithfulness in the changing of the season...
Psalm 119:90 (Contemporary English Version)

90You remain faithful in every generation, and the earth you created will keep standing firm.

Glad to see your sweet little family of 4 is getting along so well! Matthew is a doll. Gus is not much older but seeing Matthew's pictures makes me miss that little baby stage that I was just in a few months (or weeks!) ago. It just goes too fast. We are enjoying Fall too. I was just thinking today how much I will miss it in Africa . . .
