Happy 2nd Birthday Noah!

 Our sweet Noah is now 2!  

A year filled with learning to talk, walk, laugh all the while making a deeper impression on our hearts.

We love you Noah, we feel blessed each day with your presence and we thank you for making our lives all the richer.

Here is to a beautiful 2nd year!

"Each child must know that he is a miracle, that since the beginning of the world there hasn't been, and until the end of the world, there will not be another child like him."

-Pablo Casals

The Fall

I have said it before, but I feel the need once again to state my genuine love of the fall.
This time of year is magical, the leaves are bright hues of yellow, green, red, amber, and orange and as they fall off the trees that housed them through the passing months, I find my arms outstretched, embracing and relishing in all their glory.
The season passes so quickly, and as each leave struggles to hold on, I find myself doing the same. Soon enough these beautiful trees will be skeletons, with thin branches stretched to embrace the falling snow, which I will add is also quite beautiful. But there is something magical about the fall. The newly crisp air, the dew that softly falls in the morning hush, the bed of leaves that crunch beneath our feet, the joy the season brings and the hope that the winds don’t blow so that we have the opportunity to enjoy yet one more day of colorful bliss.
The sweaters that feel so cozy and the hats that give us a hug each time we stretch them over our heads, oh, I do, love, love this time of the year!

Weekending

We love the weekends, but then again, who doesn't?
We love waking up slowly, making homemade pancakes and lingering together at the table over a warm cup of coffee.
And on this particular weekend we made our way to the vineyards in Muttenz.
There is something absolutely magical about the fall and vineyards in the fall is true bliss.
The eye candy of the changing leaves, the crispness in the air, the pumpkins in harvest and the vineyards.
Oh, let us tell you about the vineyards.
The colors, the grapes, the smells...all too good not to enjoy.
And this year, we get to enjoy them with the little man who now loves to hike along beside us, precious, mitten covered hand wrapped in ours.
This is truly a season to be savored!

Savoring the beauty of the season
