Goodbye summer, hello fall....

Just like that- September hit the calendar and it turned cold up here in the northern tundra land of MN. I like a lot of things about fall- pretty colored leaves, fall harvest, Thanksgiving...but I'm not so excited about the colder weather. I swapped out Mirabel's clothes today to get the warmer things ready. And I have to admit a certain sadness to putting away some of the super cute clothing she's worn this summer since I know she won't get to wear it again. (I felt the same way about my favorite maternity clothes...since I went early I didn't feel ready to be done being pregnant and it was like I never got to say goodbye to my faves.) Oh, well, I guess that's part of life. A cycle that continues on. I like how God has a predictability but yet has differences. Like sunsets. They happen every day yet none of them are exactly the same. What a creative God we have!

Happy fall.

  1. I have to say that no part of me is sad to kiss summer goodbye. For me, the point of the entire season is to transition from Spring to Fall. :) Of course, I'm parting with any super girly baby jumpers. :) I've been excitedly watching the leaves on our "new" trees like a hawk to see what colors we'll end up with. Unfortunately, I think we're going to be surrounded by a lot of yellow. Boring!! :)

  3. Well, you won't stay pregnant forever! :) I had so many fun maternity clothes, that's why I was sad. And I never felt uncomfortable while pregnant (at least, not for long periods of time.) I could still walk decent for the most part...

  4. Yeah- I miss a lot of my maternity clothes. My secret fit belly pants were so comfy!

    Well, you can give your daughter's clothes a second life by having another girl during the right season!! We almost got it right with Nora, but Molly was bigger and born earlier in the year, so it's not a perfect match for hand-me-downs. But that's ok because there are some CUTE outfits that I cannot pass up! :)
