Fall Into the Holidays

We had a huge rainstorm last week that momentarily turned the weather cold and crisp.  Even though the temperature has risen since then, the mornings and nights still feel cool and I can feel autumn in the air.  This is my favorite time of the year (though I have an affection for every season of the year, especially when themed parties are involved).  Halloween is just around the corner, which kicks off the holiday season.  Slowly, but surely, we are getting our fall decorations up, and I'm very excited to introduce Ella to the fun and tradition of this time of year.  It's amazing to think that this time last year we found out we were pregnant with her.  Time just keeps flying by and the blessings just keep multiplying.  To say we're grateful is an understatement.
