This fall I have been busy volunteering a a bunch at E.J's school, with my photo business, and trying to get all my Christmas prep out of the way (in addition to attempting to keep a well-run house:)  I think that I am trying to pack in as much as I can before "baby girl" arrives, since I am under no delusions about my capacity to get things done with a brand-new baby on board.

Yesterday evening at 5:00, I got a phone call from the front yard-"honey, you should come out here and get a photo of the boys in the leaves."  So, I ran out front, snapped a photo, and headed back inside.  Uploading these photos this morning actually made me feel sad.  I missed the best part:  playing in the leaves.  I have always told myself that I will be the mom who is out building snow forts and running through sprinklers with her kids instead of watching from the window.
