I Love Fall! (Usually)

There are so many things I have always loved about Fall.
I love the weather cooling off.
I love the change of colors.
I love General Conference.
I love the return of schedules.
I love the rain storms.
I love opening the windows in the house in the mornings and evenings.
I love changing out my regular home decor for Fall decor.
I love sitting on the back porch, just enjoying the weather.
I love the kids returning to school.
I love my alone time with my younger kids.
(That I got to enjoy with my older kids when they were little.)
I love watching my kids play their soccer games.
I love the thunderstorms.
I love Fall.
First day of school. Look at these cutenesses! Too bad Corbin was asleep!
Macy starting 3rd grade.
Kamryn starting 6th grade.
Kinsie started Junior High. (Seriously?)
I love this picture, it definitely shows their personalities. Kinsie, taking care of everybody. Kamryn, posing/doing some cheer/tumbling move. Macy, independent, sure of herself. Brigham, macho, stud dude. Love it!!!

Now, to address the Usually part in my title. This Fall, for me, is all about feeling overwhelmed. Not really loving the schedule and structure this season. It's all been too much. But then along comes one of my favorite parts of Fall, General Conference. I felt like so many talks were specifically for me. I still feel overwhelmed, tired, etc., etc. But I now feel hope, I feel that I am not the only one, that truly I can do this.
Thank Heavens for Fall!
