Little bit heavy?Here's Nicholas trying to pick up a pumpkin at Harvest House. Our family refers to Harvest House as the pumpkin patch even though technically it's just pumpkins on the ground. We went straight from soccer (hence, the soccer outfit and eye black -- Nicholas has really sensitive eyes) This is one of our family's favorite traditions. However, we have a tradition that we broke this year . . . we didn't arrive with a new baby! We've had a pattern of arriving every other year with a new baby in the Bjorn. While I feel comfortable that our family is complete, I still find myself feeling a little sad . . . and over weird things too, for instance, I didn't cry when we sold the crib or gave away all our newborn clothes, but I teared up when I used the last of Adam's Johnson's Baby Lotion the other day and realized I wouldn't be smelling that fragrance after each bath anymore. I find myself really babying Adam because I know he's the last . . . I hope I'm not setting him up for years of therapy! :-)

I think it will be weird when all of the baby stuff goes. It's just a part of your life and home for so long. And who doesn't love the smell of baby lotion? So sweet. You'll have to find another smell you love for your kids that you can then mourn when they all move out!
I find I baby my youngest too. We just can't help it. It is sad to leave the child bearing phase of our lives. It's such a sweet time and like we've always heard from those who are older and wiser it really does go by so fast.
