This Girl

She loves butterflies. Loves. Adores. And when her grandmother found the perfect butterfly jacket? Needless to say she was smitten. 

Her new boots for the impending weather are also adored. I love the little things that mark the change of seasons in Kentucky. Flashes of red and gold amidst the green background. A new jacket and new boots that can be put to use immediately. The cool, crisp air that smells just barely of a fire burning brightly somewhere. I think this girl will be just as enamored with Fall as her mother--even if only for the great wardrobe it provides. 

Yesterday

My youngest boy was one month old. One month! I'm in awe.

Michaelmas

Our package for the Seasons Round Exchange, sent to the lovely Erin. we received a wonderful package in return--I am so excited to share it with you, if I can convince Isla to give up her favorite bits for photographing. Happy Michaelmas!

Four Weeks and 26 Years

Yesterday, Calum was four weeks old. 

Today, Ryan is 26 years old. I can't think of a better partner, a better father for my children, or a more amazing soul mate. 

I feel so blessed to have so much in my life. Happy birthday, Ryan! Thank you for everything. 

Fall!

What does it mean for us? 

The last of our heirloom tomatoes. 

Our fall nature table in full effect. 

And a special little pumpkin enjoying as much outside time as possible while he still can! 

Whew

I'm sorry for disappearing again. It seems like life with three is much more exhausting than I ever thought possible! I'm running behind on almost all of my deadlines (apologies!) but tomorrow IS the Equinox and I had to have something ready for my wee ones. Fall! My favorite season. The apples, the pumpkins, the chill in air! Halloween, Dia de los Muertos, Thanksgiving...all my favorites.

Of course we are still adjusting to a little person's presence, so things will naturally be slower and more easygoing than they have been in the past. Luckily, everyone in the family seems to be okay with that!

Park Day

I feel like we are finally able to venture back out into the world! Getting to know our newest addition has been fun and I am glad that life is starting to resemble what I used to know--albeit quite different in many, many ways.

It's been quite the experiment, trying to figure out my limitations, worrying about how to best be present and parent three little ones. And I can't say that it has been easy at all but it definitely has been interesting.
