So, the girls had their first sleep over! so much fun having their friend micah over to spend the night in their new bunk beds. such a treat. too bad it will be the last one with micah...she's moving next week... with everyone else on the street! goodness. it'll be different around here for sure....can't wait to see what the Lord does!!

this week is my first week "schooling" ember! it's been super fun and i'm loving it! i'm using the curriculum--Five in a Row. it's super easy and so much fun, and i'm even learning too! you read one book 5 days in a row and get a different subject each day...it's great and super easy! so much fun to see ember interacting and learning sooooo much!!
here's my favorite fall color! i love watching the leaves change---goes right along with the theme lately...change... no lack, that's for sure!

here are some shots from our latest vermont trip with my family. we had a good, cold time! literally,...we snuggled, alot, up to hot beverages and the warm fire places in the house. --inbetween hikes in the woods looking for golf balls or caterpillars. such a sweet time we always seem to have at Lake Bomoseen!!







here is brighten in the car after i put his orange hoodie on....driving north made us colder!! the girls joked that he looked like a pumpkin tiger!

1. cappucinos--yep...still love them! :)

2. dreams--even when i don't understand them, they bring new hope and new perspective; makes me think and talk to Dad about them! good stuff.

3. i am thankful today for the loved ones around me, thankful to be near them and enjoy them today. they help make life worth living!

4. i love cooler weather--the season of fall is one of my favorites!
