Falling in Love

I know I am not the only one who loves Fall, but every year I think this is such a great time of year. The weather is perfect, I can start pulling out the kids sweaters and long sleeve shirts out. Pumpkin anything, bread, pancakes, waffles, I even had pumpkin hot chocolate the other day, it wasn't that great but still it's fall!
I am almost over my chest/head cold. I still have an annoying cough and if I talk to much I start to loose my voice.
I have a pretty sweet schedule for October, I got all the trips I normally like to do and some pretty great places to stay. I am working quite a bit, I am hoping to pay for Christmas mostly myself (from my checks anyway) so I am putting myself on call to pick up extra trips you get paid time and half, I have been called out on three so far. I had a really sick mom to be on my flight last night, it was sad to see her so miserable, she was traveling with her 1 year old and he wouldn't go to sleep, I jokingly said to her kids always fall asleep on descent, and he did and that is when she started feeling ill. She was so pale and having some really weird pain in her lower chest area. My crew was so amazing, (captain and first officer)they took such good care of her and even offered to give her a blessing. I hope she is doing better today, I thought about her all night last night.
Ben's remodel is almost done, this Thursday the construction crew hands the building back over basically, I think he is ready to move into the 4th quarter and not have a mess of a store to work in.

The kids were super excited to get the Halloween decorations out and decorated the front yard them selves not necessarily  how I would have done it, (and not to say I might move some things around)

I was taking some family photos for a friend of mine and the kids wanted to come with me, so we did a little mini shoot while we were waiting for them to get there.
 Little diva!




 Cooper opted to wear a hat, after his hair cut incident.
 Bauer posed himself, this cracked me up!!
 Kessler was not into the photo shoot!
 I took a pic of the dog mid yawn, the kids thought it was hilarious!
 Bauer wanted a pic with "his" dog
 Some action shots



And like many other people I loved conference I was able to watch all sessions and so many talks spoke to my heart. I have listened to a few again, they are so inspiring and motivating!
