Fall is in the air!

This picture is from the web. I will post pictures of the fall that will be happening at our home! :)

I have been counting down the days before I decorated our front porch/door for fall. Once September comes around I am so excited to get out the fall decorations. Sometimes I feel it is a little unfortunate that it is still 95 outside, and it still feel like summer. Actually this morning was beautiful. I could actually feel fall in the air. To me that is one of the best feelings. I have a love for holidays, and always have. So, when Steve gets home this evening he will be in the attic getting the decorations down. I would get up in the attic, but am afraid to. :) Are you getting excited for fall, and all of the wonderful things that come with it?

I wanted to also post about slowing down. It amazes me how much goes on in this family. Last night I got home from the church. Steve was sitting in the recliner looking like he was about to fall asleep. He is a night owl, so this is unusual for him. We where talking about how tired we both have been feeling. I was sitting there wondering why we both could be feeling this way. I realized that tonight is the first night we have been home in 9 nights! We have literally had one thing after another. We have had family dinners, church activities, etc. etc. I am sure my kids have to be tired too. So tonight we are home! I am a homebody by nature. I have always made a point for the family to be together at night, or at least dinner time. So, this post is about slowing down, and doing what matters the most. Spending time as a family, and enjoying each others company.
