the McGinnis family: Enjoying Autumn (and more summer?)!

Fall has arrived in TX (or so they tell me). This means that it's usually still in the high 80's to low '90's with much humidity most days, and then once a week for the past two weeks we've had a "cold front" come through, which means the temps get down into the 70's for a day or two. For me (Kristin) that means pull out the pants and long-sleeve tees - horray! :-) I definitely miss wearing my "cold weather" clothes; there won't be much opportunity for that as long as we live in this state! At least we have some relief from the scorching heat. I'll take it!

Yesterday my MOPS small group met at one of the local pumpkin patches in the area. This is as festive as fall gets! The temperature during this pumpkin patch visit was about 85 degrees with about 90 percent humidity. It was great fun to watch the mothers with their children. I think I enjoyed watching as much as the kids enjoyed running around picking out pumpkins and doing all of the activities. I can't wait to take Abby there and have many photo opportunities next year. I know our little pumpkin in Heaven was smiling down on us; I am sure God has pumpkin patches in Heaven and look forward to enjoying them someday with Soren!
