Our yearly hike

I've mentioned here before that we take a yearly hike to the top of this hill to get some pictures of the foliage and of course my beautiful children, this year despite all it's obstacles was not exception. The bonus was that Ron felt well enough to come along too! First up was Andrew, looking back at the other photos on here makes me want to cry, he's growing up so quickly but he's turning into a fine young man.

Next up was Faith, no longer a child, a  beautiful young lady on the inside and out. She's come a long way from an itty bitty preemie... Poor girl, 4th bout of poison ivy this year!

 Then came Ron's turn. I'm so thankful to have this picture of him
                                                    

 I wanted a couple shots of each of us with the kids and love how these came out.

But this is my favorite shot!

 Well, this might be a second favorite, if I'm being honest.


We all had a nice time and enjoyed the view of Mt. Washington, the delightful fall foliage and the time spent together in the company of loved ones. I have no idea why God has chosen to bless me with such a wonderful family, but I am eternally thankful.

{this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

Houston?? I think we have a problem...

...in fact I know there is a problem - on the comment section of the blog. I know that there are comments being made and not coming through, so if you've been commenting and they are not showing up I do apologize, I have no idea why this is happening.

Sportsmanship!

Now this is what I call sportsmanship! Tonight after loosing their game again, Andrew saw a member of the other team headed to his car and said to him, "Good game! I hope you win more games!" My heart exploded with pride! Between that and the pink shoelaces he's wearing (all his thought and doing) in memory of a family friend who passed away from cancer, I don't think I could be more proud of him!

ready to head to the spinning mill!

I've finally got all the fleeces weighed and ready to head to the spinning mill on Monday and will have yarn for sale mid November! Really looking forward to this, finally!
