Fall Update

Wow...how busy we get during the fall. School started,Walt went on his first school field trip to the Fire Station, Eric and I celebrated our 7th Wedding anniversary with a trip to Blue Mountain Beach. Walt had his second set of ear tubes put in on October 27th and he was such a trooper. We are so thankful that the surgery was successful and that he is feeling better. We had a blast on Halloween Trick or Treating around our neighborhood with friends. Walt decided to be Ironman for the second year in a row and Ella was a darling little owl. Ella caught on quickly to the idea of collecting candy...I nicknamed her my candy thief. Can't believe my favorite time of the year is coming to an end; the leaves are falling, we stuffed our self full at Thanksgiving, we even had our first threat of snow. But we woke up this morning to just some cold, wet rain. Ella and I are putting up the big tree while Walt is at school. This afternoon, I will let him help me decorate the red fireman tree. I have my sugar cookie candle burning and my Christmas music playing. I love this time and I know I've said it before how easy it is for us to get caught up in the "busyness" of the season...I just want to slow down time and enjoy the reason we celebrate Christmas. We have been so blessed this year with so many things. I won't get mushy about it now...I'll save that for another post...here's a few pictures from the fall to catch ya'll up!
