we're spending today bundled on the couch.  it's football saturday afterall, but today is different.  the temperature outside has dropped to 47 degrees and we're bundled up for our first day of real fall weather. and besides all that, it's our last day with daddy for the next few weeks as he leaves again in the morning for another 3 week trip.  

the spiced cider is hot and the house is pleasantly filled with the aroma of mulling spices.  

the leaves are changing and some are already falling! i had been very apprehensive about this turn to autumn, but i'll have to admit, i was excited when the house filled with warm fall scents this morning!
