I LOVE apple picking!

I have to admit: fall has never been my favorite season, because I love spring! Spring is the beginning of the warm weather, spring is when we start seeing flowers blooming on trees, spring is the season of my birthday! Fall always felt a little sad to me: colder weather, leaves falling from the trees, the feeling that winter was coming…

Then I moved to New England and realized that fall is not that bad, actually here it is wonderful! There is foliage with its incredible colors: who would have ever thought that leaves could be orange or bright yellow? Not me! Here fall means pumpkins, cinnamon spice lattes, apples, apple cider, apple cider donuts! Fall is not so sad anymore, it is the opportunity for us to look at the wonders of nature: the leaves changing colors and falling from the trees have become an amazing show to watch, it is like snow falling from the sky, but in all the different shades of yellow and orange!

September 6th marks a very special day for me: it is the birthday of my boys.

Every year I am brought back to that day, when I went to the emergency room because my husband saw that one of my eyes was looking a little `funny`. Who knew that on that day our two little angels would be born?

September 6^th brings with it also a whirlwind of emotions, starting from happiness, going through excitement and then a little sadness, because seeing the twins grow reminds me that time goes by too quickly and I realize that I am afraid that I am not able to enjoy every moment of their lives and milestones at their fullest, because I am concentrating too much about what is going to happen next.
