Fall Latelies

It's been a bit of a whirlwind around these parts.  Lots of goings-ons.  Taking the fall one day at a time, and really trying to enjoy all its delicacies.  I do not like winter.  I can handle up through Christmas day...the rest is pure torture.  The last few falls have even been pretty blah.  Either been in the Zofran-popping, death-throes of pregnancy or the foggy-headed zombie-land of new baby-having.
Aside:  Of all the sizes that I've been the past 4 falls, none of my pants fit me.  How is that even possible?  I'm somewhere in the middle of my weight range.
Anyway, all that rambling to say, I have purposed to enjoy fall, and fallish things this year.  We've collected acorns and leaves.  Made banana bread.  Burned my new orange peel candle.  Gone on hay rides.  Drank pumpkin spice latte.  Made santa fe soup.  And potato soup.  Crunched leaves. Worn wellies in the rain.

Watched the sun set over the Gulf.


Bundled up and enjoyed a little fall beach time.






Played golf with Daddy.  Check out her stance.






Made the most of these last few warm days with "backyard fun".

*This brick was "pirate treasure" that they buried and dug up and fought over.

Rode on the Gator.  Or mostly just climbed all over it.


Celebrated Indians.  And Pilgrims.  And feasting.

Ever seen a grumpy Indian?  A little frightening, no?

Here's one to redeem her.

And one more of little sister.

Here's to the coming week of Thanksgiving and grace to make thanks-giving the way of a lifetime.
