I ♥ to live in Michigan in the fall.
Today we headed over to the cider mill for some fall fun. We met up with some friends, ate yummy cider and donuts and just enjoyed being outside before the truly cold weather comes.
The fall decorations seemed especially lovely to me today. Crisp colored leaves, mums, dried cornstalks, all evidence of a changing season.
It made me a little sad. Ok. It made me a lot sad to think about the seasons of life that I will be experiencing in the next year.
In less than a year, we will have to say goodbye to these adorable little people, as they move on with life’s adventures.
Shortly after that, I will say goodbye to my best buddy as he head heads off to kindergarten each day…possibly all day.
Break my heart... I realized that the season we have left together each day is very short. Next year, I will have plenty of time to clean my baseboards and organize my closets. This year, the house is going to be messier. This season I am going to appreciate the time I have with this sweet boy. I am sooo going to miss our daily adventures…even if it is just to Target..
And when we get to those tough seasons next year, we are going to just keep trying to move forward.
Please time, move slowly.

Those are some cute little kiddos!! I am praying that Zach goes to school half days for you. That would make the step a bit easier for you:) Maybe????? I will try to remember your wise words of wisdom...Lots and lots of time to clean later!!
