Fall Fun...

OK...so what's not to love about the fall? Fall is my absolute favorite time of year. As a child, it meant that Christmas was soon approaching which in turn meant that my birthday was right around the corner. I still have the great anticipation for the Christmas season. My birthday? Not so much!!!

They're amazing...

And my very own personal "Clone Warrior"

And there's nothing better than having a child holding up their arms, beckoning you to lift them up and simply love on them. *sigh*

So today after church, we decided to take the puppy to the park and let him stretch his legs a bit. I felt like I may have missed my opportunity to catch some fall shots...and then I stumbled upon this...

Need I say more?
