Fall Days and nights~

Fall has to be one of my favorite seasons.  No...it is my favorite season.  The smells, the sounds, the beautiful tapestry God has created for our viewing pleasure.  I want to relish in it this year.  I want to find the beauty in the intricate web made by the spider, listen to the birds making their plans for the winter around the corner....laugh at the squirrels who think I don't see them stealing all the bird food out of our feeder.  I thank our Lord for all He has blessed us with.  We take too much for granted.

On Saturday, me, my mom, Emily,Caleb, Abby, and Emily's friend, Ellie went to Brainerd for the day to visit with Sami and James.  We had a really nice time at the Nisswa Fall Festival, a Pumpkin Patch/Corn Maze/Petting Zoo, laying around on the hammock, and and having a bon fire.  Things to treasure, things to be grateful for.

A visit with Michael~

Michael came home for the weekend.  I must say I always enjoy it when he comes home because he spends so much quality time with his younger siblings.  He has said many times that it is very important to him that his brothers and sister know that he loves them, cares about them, and is here for them.  His actions say the same thing.  He always spends hours talking to Jon, playing games with Caleb, and letting Emily do what she wants with him, whether that be putting stage makeup on him, learning cartwheels, climbing trees, or jumping around on moon shoes together.  Its always a special time when he's here, and all the kids get excited. 
I am also putting in 3 random pics of Remi, Rico, and Sophie.  Couldn't get a good one of Gabe so he loses out this time around....
