Fall Foliage

Weather just right,

crispness in the air,

leaves crunching underfoot,

colors punch all around,

picnic with the cousins

perfect fall day

Pickin' in the Patch

We had a spur of the moment patch afternoon this year.  I did dress them accordingly with the idea in mind, but wasn't sure if we would be up to a Friday afternoon outing.  Cam in overalls so his tradition could continue, and Maeve in something with a touch of orange.  Moo and Granny accompanied us in the windy patch.  Cam was so big pushing the wheel barrow and jumping from row to row.  Maeve wasn't as graceful in the patch as she keeping tripping over the vines and stumbling in the tractor ruts. 

We picked out three different ones...a small, medium, and large one.  It was a successful pickin'! 

Upside Down

The newest craze at our house is for Cam and Maeve to share the little red chair and tilt themselves over backwards.  It looks and sounds like SO much fun!  Oh to be little...

Blessing

Our littlest blessing is learning to say the blessing herself.  She knows to pause and fold her hands.  She hasn't quite gotten the closing eyes part.  Here's our simplified version that we say before our meals:

"God is great. God is good.

Let us thank Him for our food."

A Visit from the Tooth Fairy

Although not under normal circumstances, the tooth fairy came to collect Cam's first lost tooth.  Since it was extracted and the roots were still in tact, it must have been too heavy for the little fairy to carry because she left it.  It made quite the show-and-tell object for Cam the next day.  He was instantly better.  Loving to see this smile back! 


The loot!





Until next time,
