It’s Officially Fall!

Since September 22 marks the Fall Solstice, we pulled out all of our house decorations. 

There are a few real pumpkins I want to add as we get further into the season, and I still have to pull out decorations for outside once Kit gets home, but with our favorite candles burning, our house feels ready welcome a new season!

Our Annual Family Fall Day 2026

 Our annual Fall day. Roger’s Garden, Starbucks holiday drinks, Shirley’s Bagels, shopping for Fall treats and books and smelling all the Fall candle scents. We always end the day with Fall/halloween movies and we eat our FAVORITE soup!

I love the chance that we have to make these special memories each year…

I miss him.

Colorado, here they come!

 Today, Kit is leaving for his annual backpacking/bow-hunting trip with his brother Andrew in Colorado. He will be gone almost 2 weeks and I miss him already. Colorado, be good to these Rae brothers. I miss you already Kit Rae!

mind the (tooth) gap

 Eden has the privilege to be in the BEST hands for her hypodontia and has some pretty incredible plans laid out for the next 10 years. We are the absolute luckiest to have Dr. Jones and Dr. Cho in our lives!

give me a minute…

 I’m working today and seriously, as much as I love the moms and babies that I get to work with and love on, I always need a minute when I get to our staff parking… I usually send Kit a photo or text to pray for me…

I take a minute, then I’m ready.

Last Friday, Eden found out she made the Varsity girls soccer team. Ryder, who is one of the captains for boys varsity team was the first to congratulate her. Kid coach shot the photo to capture the moment!
