Anderson orchard

 LOVE!

 Right off the tree

 So delicious!

 The choices are overwhelming...sheesh!

 This one looks about right...

 Isabelle thinks this one is perfect!  And it was also the biggest of all 3 girls.

 So heavy!

Due to an abnormally warm winter and spring, a lot of the apple orchards around the area didn't produce many apples with an exception being one in Mooresville which is about a 45 minute drive for us.  It was a beautiful orchard and some of the trees had just a few apples...very picked over!  But we walked deeper in the trees and found plenty!  2 pecks worth.  Jamie joined us and it was just a terrific morning.  The girls also got to pick pumpkins out of the patch to carve this week while we were there.

Mom is in the picture.

 I gave my 5 and 7 year old my beloved camera to shoot with and told them to point it and press the shutter after I did the settings.  Yes, I know... but they did use the neck strap.  They did such a great job balancing that beast in their little hands to capture an impromptu photo shoot with my lovelies.  I LOVE and will TREASURE each and every one of these...just having fun in the beautiful autumn light on a wonderful Friday afternoon.

3 reasons I love fall...

Are you a princess?

Are you a princess? I said & she said I'm much more than a princess, but you don't have a name for it yet here on earth.

Juju with her lovey, "bubba".  She was hands down my smiliest infant when she was asleep...grin after grin, I just really couldn't get enough.  I will rock her to sleep at nap time on occasion and really cherish  looking at her beautiful face but those sleepy smiles of infancy are a thing of the past.  How I love pictures of sleeping children!  

We love fall!

I love this view...even with my bunchy sweater in the way.  I am going to be so sad one day when I look down and don't see this beaming up at me!  :)

What a super beautiful morning that Juliette and I spent walking along a trail in Zionsville.  The colors are starting to become more vibrant and leaves were starting to fall although some of the trees haven't begun to change yet.  We had a fun time running after each other, tickling and enjoying the fall weather.
