I have been soaking up the early mornings, as it seems to stay darker a little later, and just love the cozy feeling - looking back at our time in Germany I miss it even more, even though back then it sometimes got to me.
My favortite way to start the day is still with a hot cup of tea, a podcast, bible study, or some book - depending on my mood.
With the sweet weather change Nate and I have both been inspired for fall this, the kids and I missed out last year since we were in South Africa, and Nate was in school.
So we are making a little fall bucket list (even though this sort of list stresses me out at times,) I am excited. The kids are getting older, and they get excited about the seasons and little traditions that we have made over the years - like apple picking, or making a pumpkin pie, fall crafts, going to the corn maize, and so forth. They are so enthusiastic, it is kind of contagious.
On the weekend we prepped a little bit of the garden, as well as the yard - cleaning out the beds, and picked a ton of the produce, in preparation for lots of rain.
and then it didn't even rain...
Mable came out for a hot second - it was so nice to see her, I am not sure if the tortoises are hibernating or what, but they don't come around that much anymore.
A little piece of fall in the backyard, made the kids day.
We did have a thunder storm and then it has been raining on and off today, and I love it.
It puts me in a baking mood.
This year have flown by so rapidly. I just can't believe it.
Ian has two weeks left of the first grade, and then on to second grade, and Hayleigh will start kindy. I just want time to freeze for a minute.
Nate and I are planning a little surprise overnight trip in two weeks to celebrate Ian and finishing up the first grade with a bang. He did amazing.
I am also never one to say no thank you for a little family lunch date, so last week after a dermatology appointment we had the yummiest burgers together.
I love food just way to much.

Take a look at the new site, and the layout and all the info at the top - there is a bunch of fun stuff - safer skincare, recipes, and so on if you are interested in that kind of thing.
Happy Tuesday!
