Fall Is Here

I just realized the other day that I have not taken a single picture with my nice camera in the entire month of September. This is unreal and kind of sad for me, since I'm usually busting out the big boy a few times a week.

So what did I do? Proceeded to take lots of pictures all weekend long.

Fall is here. My children are stinking adorable. I got some amazing deals at a big consignment sale and therefore the kids have fall/winter wardrobes all of a sudden. I also went through all of our baby clothes in the attic and re-organized them, so I could pull out some 18-24 month clothes of Truman's that could work for Cecelia right now, too. Oh, the walk down memory lane was almost too much to bear in those plastic bins of baby clothes. But I did succeed in finding a few boy items that work for my girl.

Like this perfect 'Autumn' orange vest. Truman wore this for two years, I think, and I still love it so much.

And these green monster jammies that make Cecelia giggle because of the monsters covering her feet.

The many crocheted hair bows that GoGo made are being circulated through each day and we all love them. Also love these printed leggings. And that CC fell asleep on YaYa's lap when attempting to skip her morning nap at their house, during our 10 mile run on Saturday. Still having a hard time without the morning snooze a few times a week but most of the time she makes it just fine.

But back to that orange vest. I paired it with a newer floral dress from Crazy 8's, brown leggings, new (used) Oshkosh lace up boots, and then a crocheted hair bow. I die, you guys.

Then when you pair my sporty little girl with her big brother (who is also wearing all new clothes here)? I can't.

Fall is here and we are loving it.

Pigtails. Yes.

These two and their loveys.

And the way they look at each other with a knowing grin, not even saying a word but apparently communicating in some sibling way.

I love him so much.

And her, too.

Sigh.

We were all ready to go apple picking on Sunday. But when we put the kids in the car to go, both sort of freaked out and we realized it was a lot later than planned. So we ditched the idea and will postpone it to another weekend, but my only request was a few family pictures in the backyard instead. Oh, we got some winners.

I do actually like this one even with Cecelia's mega-scowl.

And then it was daddy's turn. CC was just plain old over it by now. Poor girl.

The decision was made to walk to a playground instead of the apple picking. The nice camera came along this time.

Yes,  it was a fantastic weekend. I discovered my nice camera again. We ran 10 miles. I shopped for the kids and we had a game night for adults only, with neighborhood friends. We did the playground and errands and I switched out our closets to officially change to fall.

And it was too fast, but it was awesome. Ah, weekends.

  6. Just had that same realization about the nice camera - only took Luke's monthly pic and pics of our new house. Whoops!! Like all things in my life right now, I will of course be better about that once we move.......... haha.

    Amazing pics - I do somewhat wish we would have a few more weekends to enjoy at home this fall but that's not likely to happen - oh well! :)
