It is Fall Y'all... as we say here in the South. It is finally starting to feel like fall in Atlanta. Our family is getting in the spirit of the season with lots of Fall fun activities and crafts. Last weekend we picked pumpkins and wild flowers and I am excited to get Lily going on some Fall crafts.
