Fall is in the air

Growing up, I hated this time of year. It meant that everything was dying and the carefree days of summer were long gone. Well, as an adult I have learned to appreciate the beauty that fall brings. It is my absolute favorite season. The colors, the crispness of the air, football, Halloween, Tate Farm pumpkins, and cider are among some of the things that make this time of year so appealing. Since I'm on maternity leave, I've had a little time on my hands for decorating the house. I am in full autumn mode and am feeling anxious for all that is ahead. In keeping with the theme, my blog is also newly designed. I hope you enjoy it as much as me.

Comment on your favorite season. Why is it your favorite and what are your memories surrounding that time of year?

Baby Alyssa

If you haven't heard already, Alyssa Claire was born on August 28 at around 7:19 a.m. She weighed in at a whopping 6 lb. 15 oz. and was 19 inches long. We too couldn't believe we created such a little peanut after having an 8+ pounder three years earlier. As a family, we could not be more proud to have our new addition. God continues blessing us everyday.

BTW..the delivery (c-section) went very well and I am recovering remarkably well also.
