Fall

Fall is my absolute favorite season of the year. I remember when I was young and lived in NY, my parents and I would rake up all the leaves and I would run down the hill in our front yard and leap into them. I love going and picking out a pumpkin, going apple picking (my friend got engaged while apple picking...I'm so jealous :) and drinking warm apple cider with cinnamon.

Now this year I have the privilege of doing this with my daughter! I wish so much that my mom was here to do this with us, but I know that she'll be looking down on us, smiling, and knowing that I am celebrating my favorite time of the year with her granddaughter. I really don't want to wish Kiera's life away...but it's so hard to not say..."I can't wait..." so I will say it fast...I can't wait until Kiera is old enough to understand the fall and get excited to get her pumpkin, go on hayrides, as well as haunted hayrides, pick her own apples, and jump in leaves. I hope that she enjoys these things as much as I do!

In other "October" news, I bought Kiera her first Halloween costume today...my favorite holiday...and she will be...a strawberry!! I cannot wait to see her in her costume. She'll be going to Roman's school during the day for his parade and party and then we're all going over to Nicole's to go trick-or-treating. I'm very excited about it!

Renault Winery

On Sunday, October 5, the girls and our families went to the Renault winery for a Grapestomping Festival...and to drink wine all day while lying about on the grass :) It was also the 2nd Anniversary of Lozelle's mom's death...so we toasted to her while wine tasting...quite appropriate. We love you Lozelle and know that your mom was with us enjoying all our fun that day! http://www.renaultwinery.com/
