It's hard to believe that summer has come to an end, and fall is in the air. It's always hard for me to say goodbye, but this year seems especially difficult. We had such a great time in the water and the sand. (these pics were taken last weekend...our last hoorah, if you will.)BUT, fall does have many wonderful things to offer. We're looking forward to Lily starting preschool (in 6 days) and starting dance class (in 2 days). Going to the Cider Mill, playing in the leaves, going for long walks in the cooler temperatures...the list goes on. I'm just the nostalgic sort, and I'm reluctant to say hello to a new season, when it means I must let go of the one that came before it. But, such is life. So, I look back on summer with a smile - it brought us much joy.
Lily is ready for a new season. She is excited to start school and make new friends. She can't wait to get back to dancing, and of course she still claims that winter is her favorite season. She even starting rattling off her Christmas list for me today.
Farewell sweet summer! Until we meet again...

What great pics of sweet Lily playing in the sand! I swear...the child never takes a bad picture. :)
I'm like you..sad to see summer go. I love Fall too though and we have so much to look forward to this season. Lily is going to have so much fun in preschool. Hannah absolutely loves it and she's only been going a couple weeks. Trust me...it will be much harder on you than her. sniff...sniff!
Hi Nikki!
I've been feeling the same ache in my heart for this season to be over. I have this happy, sad feeling every year, even tho I, too love the fall..
Our babies are growing up so quickly and there's no stopping it.
I've always been so aware of the passage of time and being that we've raised our boys and see them as grown young men, it even makes the time more precious with, Anna girl.
Enjoy every minute, as I know you do.
I love the photo of the little toes!!
I too have had a hard time saying goodbye to Summer.
The girls really bonded this Summer, they played so well and we just enjoyed every second.
We do have Halloween and of course Christmas will be here before we know it, LOL!!!
What a sweet post. And I am right there with you. But I do love FALL. And I so love the pics in the sand, and especially the one of the toes!!!
Happy Day!
:)

I know...its' so sad isn't it? I'm not looking forward to the bitter cold....love the piggy toes picture.... ;)
She is so precious! We love summer and we will miss all of the well spent hours in the pool but I also love fall! Pumpkin patches, rolling in leaves....we have huge oak trees that produce major leaves! Not so fun to clean out of the pool every fall but the girls love it!
Well said friend, I'm right there with you. Now that we have all adjusted to school and schedules, and the freedom of summer is over, we are ready to say goodbye to the heat and welcome the fresh air of fall!
Guess a girl can never start planning TOO EARLY for Christmas!
Love the pictures in the sand!!!
Hi Nikki!
I hear you, my friend!! I love my summers and my long days. : )
Very sweet pictures of Lily in the sand!
[[hugs]] to you both!!!
Oh Nikki - I am with you, I hate to see it end!! At least we know it will come around again.
Love the pictures, these shots ooze her joyful personality and beauty.
Happy Fall:)
Hugs,
Heather
It is hard to say good bye to summer, but I love the fall too. Each season is so amazing with the little one. Love all of the pictures, especially the foot in the sand!

I agree. I am sad to see summer leave. It seems that I did not get to enjoy it very much.

I hate saying goodbye to Summer as well. Lily is so sweet. How is the adoption process going for you guys? We have to start working on those credit hours for our homestudy agency. Have a blessed weekend, rhea anne
