Fall is Coming!!!!!!

Started this a few days ago, but never got around to posting it.  Going to add a few more things and post today.  ;)

For those of you who don't know, Fall is my absolute FAVORITE season!!  It has all the best things.  My favorite time of the year is Oct. 1-Jan. 1.  I know this includes some winter too, but it also incompasses all the great holidays and just enough winter to enjoy, but not so much that I get sick of it, lol.  Fall is the best because it's when football season starts and the majority of it is played, it's when I break out the crock pot a lot and make good hearty meals (and in turn put on some winter weight, lol), it's hoodie weather when the crisp autumn days arrive and the sky turns gloomy, you'll also need your hoodies for those friday night football games (which I'm going to try to attend at least one or two this season, at one high school or another, lol, makes no difference to me), it's leaves turning red, brown, and gold and falling off the trees, it's coffee out on the deck in the morning in your pj's, it's leaving the windows open at night and wanting to stay snuggled warm in bed as opposed to getting up, all the most wonderful things are in the fall.  :)

Michael has totally been kicking my butt in blogging lately.  :P  I'm glad he's putting stories on here again, and when we look back, it won't be just my memories and point of view.

Feeling very happy and thankful this morning as each morning feels distinctly more fall.  :)  I'm so glad we have this big, beautiful home to live in and raise our kids in.  We've been blessed to live here for 2.5 years nows.  I'm thankful for my sweet daughter who wakes up so happy.  And although she's got a little terrible two streak she's going through right now, she still remembers her pleases and thank yous.  I'm thankful for my handsome baby boy.  I didn't know what I was missing until he came into our lives, but I'm so incredibly happy that we chose to have another baby.  He gives me happiness when the rest of world can seem very chaotic.  I'm so blessed by my husband and best friend, Michael.  He goes to work each day and provides for our family so I can stay home with our kiddos.  Then, he comes home and watches Avery so I can have a short break.  He's truly my partner in life.  I love him so dearly.  Finally, I'm thankful, once again, for fall coming.  I love these cool mornings, sitting on my couch drinking coffee.  Looking forward to a wonderful new season of life.  :)  So blessed.
