I love this time of year. The crisp air. The crunchy leaves. The oranges, yellows, golds, reds and purples. I love the smells and the foods and the overall feeling of Autumn. But I have realized for the past three years that I find myself sort of depressed. And talking it over with my awesome new friend and neighbor, Melissa, last night, I think I have a difficult time transitioning from the summer to the fall. In the summer we vacation, school is out, the evenings are cool the sun is shining. It is a carefree time of year, for me. And then the fall comes and it creeps in but leaves so quickly. And then it is winter. ugh. BUT so many good things in my life have happened in the fall. For example, Tyler and I were married in October. And the weather was PERFECT! Samuel was born in September. I learned how to overcome depression in the fall. We did a lot of sightseeing in Paris in the fall. And the holiday season begins in the fall with Halloween. So, I love Autumn. And here are some pictures proving my children love it too!
