Fall Back

I am seeing myself more and more as a seasonal blogger. It's always really fun to go back, but difficult to choose the best pictures that portray what our life has been like the past few months. This fall season has been no exception to having a full and eventful plate.

September was filled with family having gone down to visit Bonnie and Leo for a week over Labor Day and then my mom coming to visit until Oct 1.

October was the best and busiest month. We seized every weekend by taking full advantage of the spirit of fall here in New England. The first weekend we enjoyed regrouping from September and listening to General Conference. The second weekend we planned an overnight camping trip to Sharon, VT staying at Camp Joseph and visiting the Joseph Smith Memorial site there with some fun stops along the way. Then when Bonnie came soon after, Adam and I headed to NYC to celebrate our anniversary for 4 days! We didn't take many pictures because we were having so much fun doing other things. We spent Bonnie's last week closing on the selling of our house in SC and then headed to the Lakes Region in NH for a foliage filled day with a two mile hike. The finale to this great month ended with our Hall-o-weekend, which we dressed up and went trick or treating three times!

I've taken up a hobby in collecting sea glass as my outlet away from the kids. Any ideas of what I can do with it? My mom got even way more into it than me.


The most peaceful, magical place where I find all my sea glass!

Special stop just for Atticus to this amazing train museum. It was heaven for this little boy.

Only decent picture taken in NYC, kind of a bummer.

What do I say to this face!?
This was our FHE one Monday night.


We were the circus...
with another partner in crime.


On actual Halloween Adam's wish came true and he was able to be himself.
I on the otherhand wanted to get the most out of dressing up this year!

Okay I have SOOoo many comments!:

1. Seaglass is cool, but I don't know really what you "do" with it either...put it in display bowls, or at the bottom of flower arrangements? Lately I have been digging on these cool plants that I bought from www.airplantsupplyco.com... they don't have to be potted in dirt and can just rest in vases or bowls...every week just take them and dunk them in a bowl of water for 30 minutes or so, then shake them off and back in their decorative bowls they go! They could look cool with some seaglass!

2. Love how Harper is rocking the comb-over...I'm guessing she's finally getting her walk on now? She's so big!

3. I was looking forward to NYC pics, but you'll just have to tell me all about it later!!!

4. Atticus plays Pee-Wee soccer now?! Is it adorable and hilarious?!?

5. I totally get the circus theme now that you said it! At first I was wondering if you were some girl-version of the rockband KISS and if Adam was a Movie Theater attendant. lol The circus theme is awesome! :)

6. You have a giant comb/hair pick in your afro.....LOLOLOL. I'm dying over here! :)

Love you!!! Call me soon!
