a little bit of fall

the leaves in my parents' yard after a quick storm

Stella and my mom en route to the stream and Oliver with his walking stick

Mabel leading the way down the mountain and a very smooshable baby Elliot

I love Sundance in September. We admired the leaves and even got to wear sweaters once or twice. It was so nice.

As I was herding all of the children and luggage through the airport alone yesterday (Mike is still in Utah for a work thing), I kept chanting to myself: I can do hard things. Actually, I needn't have worried. The kids were perfect, and fellow passengers very kind.

And now we are home and Yodipity has pumpkin yogurt. Yum.

Happy Fall.

Stephanie,
I'm a good friend of Leslie's from Sugar Land. I check out your blog via her blog and I saw your post about hemming jeans a while back. I had to tell you that I followed your instructions on it and was shocked at how easy it was!!! Thank you so much for posting it! I just put a link to your blog on mine because I want to share that good information with my friends!!!
