Lesson #17 "It's Fall, Y'All"


Fall has always been my favorite season.  My family would probably say it's because my birthday is in October and let's face it, I love a good party.  Or maybe my love for all things autumn has something to do with the fact that our house looks best this time of year- the oranges and reds and yellows just fit, you know?  Perhaps these used to be the reason for the love of the season, but not anymore.  

It's official.  I love fall because there is so much fun to be had with Liam! Some of the many reasons are..
.
Pumpkin patches with cousins, aunts, uncles, Grandma and fun Aunt Marcia makes for good times and fantastic photo opps. 





Fall is the best time ever for hats.  And while I can still control his clothing options, I am going to accessorize the heck out of the little guy.


It's cool enough to take him out on walks and adventures without us all melting into a puddle, but not cold enough to freeze. We have been enjoying lots of time outside in parks, in our backyard, and even in our front yard by our new tree that Daddy planted.



It's also a great time to head to the Farmer's Market with cousin Jeremiah!


Fun time of year for weenie roasts at Grandma's house!



S'mores (minus the chocolate and marshmallows)!


And it the best time to dress up like a goofy cow and visit Mommy and her students at the annual Writer's Walk.  Liam was there for 3 hours, had a bottle, took a nap in my (and Jenny's) arms, and still managed to charm the pants off of fellow teachers and even our principal, Dr. McLean.  Benjamin and Dominic came too to enjoy the fun!









Yes, it's fall, y'all!  Lesson well learned.
