We have the prettiest tree in our courtyard that brings the most vibrant colors each fall. Our balcony is eye level with the tippy top, where the only red leaves are.
Over the years, the tree has been a marker of time for us. As soon as it started to change colors this year, I felt nostalgic every time I looked outside. This will be the last time we watch our tree enter autumn. The last autumns we've had in Berlin have been so different from one another. Completely different phases of life. I'm so grateful for each of them.
Next fall, we'll be in a new place with new trees to admire.
As tradition has it, we went to the annual pumpkin festival on General Conference weekend! Two years ago, Justin and I went together. Last year, it was Logan and me. This year, Lynette and Nova joined Logan and me. I love them!!
I'm reeeally glad Lynette suggested doing the car carousel because I have never seen Logan so animated and excited haha. He LOVED it. I only had a little bit of anxiety due to the lack of seatbelts and speed of the ride...
Logan and I took a few walks in Tiergarten while Justin was traveling. SO much beauty. I'm thankful I have lots of hours spent here over the years. I know I won't have any regrets about not appreciating the Tiergarten more. One of my favorite places in the busy city.
Sweet Logan was such a champ. I wanted to do a little loop from the car but totally got turned around. When I pulled out my map, we were walking in the wrong direction. I thought we were almost to the car but we still had 0.9 miles to go.
Little fig and fruit bars kept Logan's legs going. & the cute ducks in the pond. He was amazing!!
I was so sore when we got back to the car. Nothing like walking 90 minutes when you're 31 weeks pregnant!
Funnest date night with Justin's teammates and their wives. I love these people <3 One thing I'm constantly reminded of is that I haven't met all of my best friends yet. As life goes on, we will keep meeting more and more people who we love & who will impact our lives.
It's been a good fall. <3 Not pictured are the batches of pumpkin muffins and bars that we've been making around here!!
