Embracing

My dear friend says that the beginning of every season is her favorite.

So true, so true!

I don't even want to speak the words (so I'll type them)...

I'm over summer.

Fall is knocking on our door.

Yesterday, Henry's hippotherapy session with his NEW therapist went well.
She had him just a waving to me...

they sang songs...

Ms. Kelly had Henry command Tiger to STOP and GO...

and of course, Henry had to give Tiger lotsa rubs (all enjoyed).

Guess I was nervous about the therapist change...

and was so relieved that it all went well...

when lil' mister came out, yelled MOMMY and jumped into my arms...

I started crying.

Ms. Kelly must have really thought I was the nut job! Sheesh!

It really is amazing to see how far my little man has come.

One year ago he wasn't speaking and wouldn't look when his name was called.

Very emotional to see daily changes.

Anywhoo...Henry jumped into my arms and said EAT! HA!

Speaking of eating...

Good grief! I'm still cooking up a storm....my waist and thighs thank you Ree! Ugh!

Just made a batch of chocolate chip cookies.

Gluten free.

Frozen cookie dough from Whole Foods.

Genius!

And for dinner?

Like I said...moving into fall, so chili it is!

I'm going to have the girls help me make soft pretzels when they come home from school! MMM!

And guess what?

Henry asked if we could stop by Home Goods on our way home from hippotherapy!

(Okay, I guess I can't blame him for everything!)

I purchased a few fall looking loves.

I'm liking the change.

Side note: My great grandmother's chest.

Yep, it's really beat up...scratched...and my momma says I need to have it refinished.

But, I keep saying that all of those marks have a story.

Even if I don't know what any of the stories are!

Fall, yes you are knocking on my door...

and I'm embracing you...

letting you in.

Maybe you can eat all of this food I've been cooking!
