It was a beautiful, comfortable 75 degrees today--fall is finally here! This is my favorite season of the year, and here are the five top reasons.
- Lots of hiking. K and I love to hike, and we've been taking EB since she was 10 months old. She has long outgrown her carrier, but she's a little trooper and does great hiking on her own. Here are some pics from our past hiking trips:

- Pumpkin breads. I bought a couple of pumpkins yesterday so that EB and I can bake some pumpkin bread together. Look at these beauties--only $2 each. Here's a great pumpkin bread recipe, courtesy of Alton Brown from the Food Network, in case you're interested.

- Chilly nights = bonfire + s'mores. K built this fire pit in our backyard a few months ago...just in time for a blistering, blazing summer. We can't wait to put it to use.
- Halloween! I have not cared for Halloween since my college days, when it was a great excuse for my college friends and I to dress up and get silly inebriated. But now that I have EB, I have a brand-new appreciation for this holiday. In fact, she's been talking about it nonstop for months now, and it's great fun seeing everything through her eyes.

- And finally...no more flip-flops at work. I can not believe people actually think it's acceptable to wear flip-flops in the office, but that has been the sad reality. Don't get me wrong, I think some toe action is O.K. during the summer time, but showing off every unsightly square inch of your feet is just plain wrong. It creates a hostile work environment.
