On Sunday we took our annual fall family pictures and while I actually hate preparing and taking the pictures, I absolutely love having them to document our family over the years. Let’s take a look back at each year and how our family has grown. 🙂

Aw it makes me so emotional to see these pictures and how much our family has grown! I don’t take a moment of it for granted. I’m so thankful to have this sweet family of mine.

Another favorite this week, and always, is Shane and Riley’s love for Melanie. They are so sweet with her and are completely obsessed. It’s so much better and more special than I could have ever imagined. The only downside is that now that it’s fall and winter season, I’m worried about how to keep her healthy. This year and last, colds have been at an all time high. RSV this year is crazy. I can’t keep these boys out of Melly’s face, which is so sweet but also so scary because it seems impossible to keep their germs to themselves. We are really trying to figure out how to navigate this this season. Melly has already had her first cold and she’s only 8 weeks old. 😢 Please pray for us for wisdom and health this season. ❤️

Dressing this girl up has been for sure a favorite of mine! I’m not what you would consider a girly girl. But dressing her in adorable clothes has been so much fun after having two boys. I didn’t even know what to buy for her before she was born because I’ve never dressed a baby girl. I quickly realized she was going to need some adorable cardigans and tights so I quickly took to Amazon and found these really good quality tights. I also bought these cardigans from H&M because I just couldn’t resist! I’m enjoying how adorable she’s looking in dresses, bows, and all of the floral. I love the floral.

My organizational heart is loving these binders and getting to put them together for homeschool. We started the Gather ‘Round Letters and Numbers curriculum and we are absolutely loving it. It’s perfect for where Shane is at developmentally and he loves learning about the different animals every day. I love it because it has all of the subjects included so I don’t really need any other curriculum. I probably will add in some math eventually but for now it’s perfect. Shane is even really interested in the bible lessons, which I love. It’s written in such a way that is very engaging for 3-5 year olds.

Fall time and these boots. The temperatures here have gone back up (?) and I’m so thankful because it’s been so nice and so beautiful! I’m so not looking forward to winter this year. These boots are so cute though and they’re only $40. I had a pair from Payless (does anyone remember that store?!) that I had for probably ten years before they finally started falling apart on me. I knew I had to replace them and went to Amazon to see what I can find and found these ones and they’re almost identical. They’re honestly just better quality. They do still need some breaking in but I’m so glad I found them. I’m also really eyeing this simple fall sweatshirt and miiiight just have to buy it. Also who doesn’t need another cardigan?? I love the buttons on this one. You can never have enough in my opinion! The ultimate fall fashion.
linking up with Andrea and Erika today!
