And Fall Rushes In.......
Yesterday was summer. Today is fall. Yesterday was 80 something and today was high 60s. Fall is definitely here. So bring on the soups and muffins, spice cookies, hot chocolate, and yummy scented candles. And winter, don't get too excited about making your debut any time soon. Thank you.

Gabe the Babe
This boy has to wait another month for his birthday, but meanwhile, he is making us laugh all the time.
Lately, I'll find him in here doing this.... he's been watching his brothers too much! He just stands there and smiles and I start laughing.
Just this past week he has started saying everything we say. "Ready, Let's Go, Wait, What?, Rock a bye, Hussle"... It's so funny to hear him use the same influction in his voice -- he acts like he knows what it means! The BEST, though, is for the last 2 weeks he says thank you for everything! It comes out "tain too". He is the sweetest thing ever! If we hold a door open for him, he'll say thank you, whenever we give him anything, he's saying it. I hope this nice-mannered word stays around for a while!
As for me, I am enjoying my time in the mornings with this little guy since Tanner started preschool this week! I stayed home all day yesterday and cleaned out cupboards and drawers... something that's been on my to-do list since we moved in. I had high hopes that I could work on it this summer, but no such luck! I LOVE the feel of organized drawers and everything in its place. I LOVE the change of weather that is upon us (although today is supposed to be 90), and I LOVE the smell of harvesting onions that is in the air right now. Every time we walk outside, we're reminded of them down the road! And now it's on to freezing some peaches. Since we live in the "Banana Belt" of Idaho, we try to take advantage of all this fruit over here fallin off the trees! Tonight is Caden's first soccer game, and Tanner's tomorrow! Pics to come! I heart Fall!

Fallin for Fall
So I'm in love this time of year. Fall is one of my favorites.....a time of change for everything! Time to put away the flip flops and shorts and time for a sweater and snuggly blanket, hot chocolate with marshmallows, pumpkins and foilage, warm soup and muffins, and time for crisp fall walks to take it all in.... . It seems like it's here and then gone so quickly before the long months of winter come.
