Fall is very near! And if you haven’t started feeling the weather yet, get ready! I could not be more excited about this season for all the reasons I have been excited in the past plus the fact I get to do this with Maddex this year! His first fall is going to be so special! I started thinking and reflecting on all the things that I wanted to make sure to do with him this fall and I started getting attacked by overwhelmed just with all the fun there can be but how much of an opportunity there is to mess as well! just so that I can get all of my thoughts down on paper, I made one of my handy lists!

I did this back when Thomas left for Officer Training School (I’ll link that list here) and it brought me so much joy, I looked forward to each next day and it gave me a season where I can look back and see how much I’ve grown.
