nothing much..

 its pretty much my favorite time of year. Pumpkins, mums, leaves crunching under my feet, the need for my favorite knit sweater. Yes, fall is good. i would love to upload about 50 pictures right now, but my kids are fighting over the last fruit roll up, and i think i smell blood. so... until next time. i leave you with these.

Outdoors with the horse, Violet. She is now 6 months. 

He thinks he's big enough to climb into daddy's truck. And ya know what?? He IS! *sniff

This is a terrible phone pic, but i wouldnt be a good mom if i forgot to mention the most thoughtful gift i have ever received from my daughter, Bella. Its a meat necklace. Necklace made of roast beef. If that's not love, then i dont know what is.  this gift will be hard to top.

Cool fire escape at an old church in Northern Illinois. The world needs more of these.
