once upon a sweet autumn day~

(our little trouble-maker Yuri looks out the window wishing she could go outside and play)

I love all of the changing colors in Autumn.
All of the falling off and changing makes me yearn for a 'fresh start' myself.
Out with the old, bad, and negative...
In with the new, good, and positive!
Cheers for a beautiful Autumn and for turning over a new leaf.

Don't you just love old photos? I know I do! :)

My aunt had scanned these earlier this week for us so I thought I'd share. Some of them I had never seen before.

Here's me when I was little.

I am completely having a love/hate relationship with this season right now.
I love seeing the beautiful autumn leaves that have fallen onto the ground. Ahh..I just want to take a zillion pictures of them! :)
But..
I hate being out in the drizzle, cold, and nastiness. I feel like I'm going to get sick.
:-/

Now I love the cold..just not mixed with rain.
Just my thoughts.
