...it's so fun to have the whole family back together.

We miss Paige so much when she's away at school.  I can only imagine what it will feel like when all my kids are off on their own and come back together!

...it's good to stop to play in the leaves.

I had company coming for dinner in 20 minutes, I had to go pick up Conner from his friends house and finish cooking, but when I heard my kids were playing in the leaves I stopped everything to go take pictures.  I've learned that these moments are fleeting.
