When I was younger, I absolutely loved summer. It was my birth month, it was swim time, it was camp time and homework-free days! But, as I've gotten older, I look so forward to the cooler temperatures, the holidays approaching, and the fun photo opportunities that fall brings. I love the anticipation of Halloween, Thanksgiving, and winter family time, as well as the amazing scents, falling leaves, awesome food, and the crisp autumn air. (I also have a guilty pleasure of listening to Christmas music, so knowing those are right around the corner makes me a bit giddy - and Sam a bit annoyed!) But, anyway... so far we've kicked off fall with some fun. Lots of pumpkin pics ahead:
