This is, by far, my most favorite time of the year. Here in Colorado we have the most beautiful scenery with the Aspen's in their bright gold and the scrub oak in vivid orange. It just never lasts long enough. This is the time of year I want to cling to the longest--even more than Christmas! I guess it brings back so many wonderful memories from the past. It's back to school time and all of us wearing our new corduroy pants and Buster Brown shoes, going to football games, deciding what to be for Halloween, carving jack-o-lanterns, going on hay rack rides and drinking hot apple cider.
I can't wait to start our own traditions with Morgan and our soon to be here "lil bean". Last year we went to a pumpkin patch and picked our own pumpkins. 
Morgan seemed to find more joy in eating the dirt, but we had such fun. I hope we'll do that again this year.

One of my favorite things to do was crunching on leaves on the way to school. It was a tree-lined route, so there were many leaves to step on.
Fast forward many years and I did the same thing with my own boys, walking to and from school. My youngest son referred to one side of the street as "the crunchy way" because there were more leaves there. The other was just "the regular way."
Maybe one day, he'll walk his own child along the crunchy way. :D
Loved those Buster Browns : ) Give Morgan a hug from his Aunt Stephie
