a walk in the woods...and pumpkins

so this is sort of how i feel right now...
up + down,
exhilaration + trepidation,
high expectations...

maybe it is because wade is gone away for work this week,
or because i have a million projects that i want to start on right now,
or that i have one very, very important project that i need to be starting on right now (i haven't really talked about the book yet, have i? oops. that was a bit of a tease maybe?),
or because i love these girls so, but, oh. my. word. can i get a little bit (a lot?) of uninterrupted time, please?
or maybe it's because change is both exciting and scary (i am such a sucker for little red riding hood's song from into the woods)...

and likely it is a combination of all of those things.
and more.

anyway...this is supposed to be about woods (friendly ones) and pumpkins (lots and lots of ones).











this is also about adventures, and the beauty of the earth we inhabit, and the sweetness of siblings, and cute corduroy (thanks, amy!), and looking up into the sky...

and dreaming.
