We are big fans of fall. The beautiful golden maple that canopies our driveway did not disappoint. The rest of our trees are taking their time catching up, but that's fine. We'll take it one tree at a time. It's nice that it's been so warm this week. Peter and I are taking advantage and have taken at least two or three walks each day. I'm not sure who enjoys it more.
It was so fun to watch Peter try to figure out what was going on. When we first sat him down in the crunchy leaves, he was a little confused. When we starting tossing leaves, into the air above us, he quickly caught on and loved the excuse to get messy.
You can't beat the beauty of fall. Especially when paired with the cutest kid on earth (we may be biased).
Handfuls and handfuls of crunchy, yellow leaves and one happy little boy makes for a pretty good night. It was one of the first evenings Scott and I were able to spend a couple hours together in... months. It was so nice and badly needed to have that small bit of time as a family to recharge and enjoy the simplicity of the beautiful season that flew past us last year as we recovered.
My parents brought flowers and a couple gifts to celebrate my good cardio news, and we topped off the evening with a walk to the church for our neighborhood cook-off where we ate soup and pie and visited with friends.
Life is so, so good.
You're not biased, he is the cutest kid on earth.
