November Days

Cooper thrives when he's helping Daddy work.  Seeing them with their leaf blowers together was a favorite moment of the week!

 When my mom came to town, we enjoyed visiting Sudden Valley and took a stroll down memory lane.  And a stroll down the AM/PM beach there.

 It was always one of my favorite places when we lived there in 2007-2008.

 It felt familiar in a distant memory sort of way.  I liked it.

 My mom also helped Madeline sew herself this really cute skirt.  We were sad when Mimi had to go, but less sad because our Utah trip was coming right up!

 Cooper loves collecting things on our walks.  By the end of this walk, he was practically carrying a whole tree!

 And speaking of trees, have you ever seen anything so lovely in the fall as this??!!  Orange, red, AND purple all in one.  It has been my favorite thing in my yard this fall.
