Fall is here at last in my home of Missouri. Three days ago brisk winds blew in thunderstorms and chilly weather. Leaves are falling from the trees already. All the beaches we love to play and walk on have been temporarily drowned in the swell of the great Missouri River (but that didn’t keep us from building a fire this afternoon to warm ourselves as we watched the river flow by!). I’m looking forward to more craft shows, fall festivals, lots of hot chocolate and cozy reading, and our annual fall-is-in-the-air-now-it’s-time-for-a-Harry-Potter-movie-watching-binge which, coincidentally, will be starting TONIGHT! 😀
Between starting a new job, beginning a brand new novel (you heard me!), and moving to a new place, this year has brought many, many changes. Some good, some bad, but all of them opportunities to learn and grow. I’ve neglected my poor blog for a while now, and hope to post more regularly. In the meantime, I thought I’d share a few pictures of what we have been up to this year. Don’t forget to follow me on my (relatively) new Instagram account if you want to keep up with our little family doings on a more regular basis!





What changes has this year brought to you? What are your fun fall plans?!
