As we enter October, we are also entering the season of autumn 🍁 Here in southern Ontario, we are fortunate enough to experience all four seasons; out of all of them, autumn is definitely my favorite. The cooler, cloudy weather, array of beautiful colors, and cozy family holidays are an unbeatable combination!
Yesterday evening, we took a family picnic down by the water. It was quiet and quaint, with only the sounds of mother nature accompanying us. Our girls enjoyed some chicken nuggets 😄 and their favorite: a cold glass of apple juice 🍎
We have truly been enjoying our time together as a family, and feeling very grateful for everything that we have. The Lord has not only blessed us with a baby boy, but a pregnancy where I am not throwing up 30× a day. Being in such a rare position has made family time a priority.
I took some great drone shots of the girls as well 💜💛 It is no longer tick season, so we asked the girls if they wanted to lay down in the grass for these shots. Being the fashionistas that we all are, I made sure that they had matching outfits on; the theme here was hearts ❤️
They are only 18 months apart, which continues to blow my mind to this day -- I had no idea that we had them so close together! 😂 Yet, I would not have it any other way. They get into quite the fights, but I'm praying that their bond will only strengthen as they grow older...
While flying back, I was also fortunate enough to catch sight of a Great Egret. These birds can be very majestic, but very silly at the same time 😄 As I was observing him hunt the fish, his neck would do a tiny dance before attacking. But, it yielded results! He caught 4 fish while I watched him 🐟
Our girls, having fun 🥰 They are always so FULL of energy! It truly baffles my mind -- they are up from about 9AM until 10PM every day, and they are STILL this active at 7PM! 😭
I love this one; aside from our girls, this photo is probably my favorite one from the entire evening. A lone tree with a full head of gorgeous orange leaves, and the soft sunset in the background... This is how I envision the season -- this is how it makes me feel... Very cozy.
Our youngest daughter in her oversized sweater 🥹💛 I love this one as well for its beautiful scenery.
Colorfully pink clouds streaked the sky... It was truly a beautiful way to end the day!
Right as we were waiting for the bus, a Common House Spider managed to find us -- and this girl was HUGE! 🕷😱 I believe they are fairly harmless to humans, so we didn't mind our girls checking her out (although they were still TERRIFIED at the size!).
