And the weather definitely took a turn towards the chilly side as soon as September 21st arrived. Funny how that works. Just yesterday I went to work with a scarf and boots!

Yesterday my mom invited us to join her for apple picking at her friend's property. Apple picking has been a Fall tradition since the boys were little. I'm thinking those apples in his hands might be about the same size...just twelve years' difference.   And I found this picture from a 2007 apple pie-making session. I was a little surprised that I have a 3-year-old a knife. Hmmm... So, this year, one of my best friends and her two boys joined us. We picked tons and tons of apples and pears! It was nice to share our tradition with them... And we're looking forward to sharing an apple pie with them this weekend. They worked hard for those fruits. Do you have a family tradition of going apple picking this season?  What's your favorite apple recipe?
