Oh, we thought Tuesday was a good day. The first day of fall! Hooray! Any Midwestern girl is happy when this day comes. And their daughters. Here’s a sneak peek into our day of fall celebration!
We raked leaves, because that’s what you do in the fall! Note that Abi is wearing a sweater! Texas took special care to give us a first day of fall that was worthy of sweater-wear.
We took baby for a walk – for more of this adventure check out abi’s blog
We, like the squirrels, gathered acorns
We had tomato basil soup and grilled cheese – a perfect fall lunch!
We made pumpkin pie! I was so bummed that this picture turned out blurry – blah on timers! Please notice abi’s sweet apron – made with love by her Nanny. Abi thought it was hilarious that we both had these “funny clothes” on over our normal clothes!
Sweet baby and our ingredients ready to make our pie! (I am ashamed to say that I bought both the pie filling and the pie shell – we were running out of time! Grandma, please forgive me!)
What a big girl and excellent baker!
Every good baker must test the ingredients…
Getting ready to head into the oven – Yummy!
Abi and I have begun a tradition that I am almost giddy about when I imagine us baking together in the future. It was a delight of a day. Fall, welcome to Lanshire.

precious moments you will treasure forever! How'd the pie turn out??
I especially enjoyed this post. We want to have the Wallace family down ASAP.
cooking on the kitchen floor, what a great and fun idea :)
ok, so i had about 100 comments run through my read as i read this post...
1. Abi has gotten so big and tall! Oh my goodness they grow so quickly! I remember eating lunch at your house and she couldn't even walk yet. Now she's making pumpkin pie and cleaning house - wow!
2. She's adorable.
3. I love how involved you are in your daughter's life! You're making SO many special memories together, and raising her to be such a well-rounded girl, filled with so much love and talent!
4. I just had tomato basil soup & grilled cheese sandwiches last week to celebrate fall! How fun to see that others did the same. :) Here's the yummy recipe I tried out:

5. So cute how you brought the counter down to Abi's level. What a great idea! Other moms will be copying this one...
6. Hilarious how you apologize about the store-bought filling & shell - you're such a good home-maker to even think to apologize for something most people wouldn't even know that there was another way of doing it!
7. I think we have the same red tea pot, and a very similar red pie pan - love your kitchen taste. :)
8. Ok, I think that's enough comments for now. You are a WONderful mother, Angela, and I'm honored to be your friend!!
