fullness of grace: happy fall y'all!

this post is dedicated to the pumpkin we brought home from the elegant farmer. sadly, our home was not its home for long. i was devastated to discover this morning our little pumpkin was no longer on our porch. oh no, it was long, long gone. to whoever stole our pumpkin, i hope you know you took baby girl's first pumpkin. and that makes me sad. very sad. thankfully there are many more pumpkins in the world & many many many falls to celebrate with baby girl!

though i always claimed i was a summer girl (and part of me is slightly sad baby girl will have a winter birthday), i absolutely adore fall. there's something so exciting about the leaves starting to change, a crispness is the air, and putting on a cozy sweater (if it will fit over your belly!) kyle may tell you that something "magical" about fall may be football - football of any kind - nfl, high school, flag football. i'm not ready for cold weather yet, but i am very happy to enjoy this fall with kyle!

to kick the season off right, we went with a group of friends to elegant farmer. last year we checked out apple hollar. kyle claims he likes the hollar better - probably because they have goats walking around on bridges and platforms in the air. check it out, it's crazy. but elegant farmer... i loved it. it was packed with people tryin' to get their fall on (sorry, does that even make since?), but there was just something so rustic and cute about it. the place smelled like cider doughnuts. yum. sold their own canned preserves, cookies and dips. and what really won me over, the adorable baskets you got to pick your apples & pumpkins with. love it.

so, here are a few pictures of baby girl's first trip to the apple orchard & pumpkin patch! hope she enjoys all the apple pie, cider, and butternut squash soup she'll be having the next few weeks :)
