Autumn Leaves and Dreams

This is my favorite time of year. I love, love the month of October for so many reasons, and I have especially loved this month with my little one. It makes me think of so many good times in my life, the excitement for the holidays, and especially good food and great smells!

We were so fortunate to be able to take a vacation for my week long fall break. Even though we didn't end up going with our dear friends (we missed you Hollands), we still had so much fun! We did Palm Springs again, this time with Nixsen, and Disneyland again, this time even more fun than before!

I am constantly amazed at what a little grown up girl Nixsen is becoming. I know why she was my first, and why I am so lucky to be called her mother.

Thanks to my awesome parenting--my child is VERY familiar with Disney television and movies. She loves Mickey and the gang, Little Einsteins, all Disney Princesses and Tinkerbell. Somehow Cinderella has become her favorite...I can't even count how many times she has watched the movie.

Scott and I both decided that we could have flown us all out there for just this one moment and it would have been worth it.
