quick texas visit.

i've been crazy homesick, and teddy hasn't had a chance to

breathe texas air yet, so we decided to make a quick visit.

so fun, guys.

is it me, or is lubbock getting nicer? i'm so confused.

anyway, we checked out this pumpkin patch and had a sweet time.

the babies are getting bigger, and it breaks my heart. part of me feels like becoming a mama makes me less attentive (and consequentially less fun) of an aunt. it's okay, it's just kinda true. 

i wish i had more energy, or that i could duplicate myself- one of me just for playing, one just for picture taking, one of me just for changing diapers...etc

i held teddy in this awesome wrap the whole time we were there, and was able to get some pictures and video taken. everything is more complicated with a little guy. i wonder how many more family videos i've got left in me with a baby to pay attention to.

anyway, i managed to throw this little video together to remember our trip. i'm hoping i'll look back on it and remember how fun it was, watching the little ones run around, and smelling the sweet fall air.

it's teddy's first debut in a family video! many many more to come.
enjoy friends. xo

Can't wait.

I'm starting to go a little nutty.
I can't wait for it to come.

Ten Hints to what it is:

1) It makes me want to buy scarves,

and wear opaque tights.

2) Leaves tend to crackle and crunch during this time.

3) Candy Apples, and carnivals rides at the fair.

4) It can be spooky at times.

5) Two words: football. season.

6) There is the most lovely crispness in the air during this time.

7) It can bring families together.

8) Hot Apple Cider.

9) It makes me want to go shopping for pumpkins at an outdoor market on the east coast.

10) It's got the best color scheme of all of the seasons.

I hope you guessed what it is that I'm missing, dear friends. 

Are you missing it too?
