Hard to Believe it

September is here. It is so hard to believe that my baby is now venturing into the toddler years. She will be walking on her own very soon. I know that she cannot wait for that moment when she can run free, getting into all of mommy and daddy's belongings that she can reach.
She will be a year in two weeks.
So many things have occurred in the past year and I wouldn't have it any other way. Being a mother is the hardest thing I have ever done, and also the most rewarding. My daughter Annalisa was also given two cousins this past year, Deviney and Kaitlyn. They are both so adorable and our family holds them dear to our hearts.

This is my favorite time of year. The senses are consistently filled with the beautiful colors of green, brown, orange, and yellow, and or course the all over variations of them. We smell and taste the tantalizing spices, like nutmeg, cumin, cinnamon, and clove. We see the pumpkins growing and the leaves changing. We hear the rain falling and leaves rustling. I know some of these things are not yet here, but I'm awaiting them, I know they are coming and I am Oh so excited!
So let's take some time and think about the year so far, and get excited for the rest that is to come!
I'd love to hear what your favorite part is about the season ahead :)
