Leaf impressions


I love fall.
I love the warmth of feeling in fall.
I love leaves because they remind me of the trees I climbed as a kid.
I love leaves because they remind me of the leaf piles we would run and jump into off the front porch, or bury each other and surprise an unsuspecting family member.
I love fall because I feel like baking and making homemade foods that bring smiles and comfort.
I love fall because I love any excuse to snuggle my family close and enjoy tiny pats on my back, scrunching hugs and big juicy kisses.


I love that I get to do a lot of the things I love with the people I love most.

Thane and Emma love gathering bouquets of leaves daily to do leaf impressions, color experiments, leaf stomping, picture taking, leaf tasting(yes--both children), and of course making a mess of the car, or the floor when the leaves crack into millions of tiny pieces.
Daily we find "the most beautiful leaves!" to bring inside and make something.

I wouldn't trade these today's for anything.

How do they taste?

Becky came in from raking and playing in the leaf pile she made out front tonight, loudly announcing, "I have leaves in my underwear!" She was having a little too much fun...

Nice colors!

Hey- I blog hopped from Angela's blog. I miss you guys! It looks like you have been enjoying the fall and have had plenty to keep you busy. We would love to meet for a park play date on a non-rainy day some time. Morgen still looks for "his" girls in our new nursery (aka: Emma, Olive, Kyra and Sophie).

I think I can catch a glimpse of what Thane will look like when he's older. Captivating picture!
