Girl Scouts Halloween Dance

Happy 100th Birthday Juliette Gordon Low!

My favorites......

.... listening/helping the girls play piano
.....reading in bed with my children
.....smiles from the people I love the most when they enjoy my baking
.....having almost all of my Christmas shopping done before November
.....the smell of pumpkins and apples

It is nice to sit for a minute and  consider all that we are blessed with. 

An amazing story of inspiration and a brothers love. They are blessed to have each other.

Safe travels Mom and Dad, we love you!

Duval's annual vacation

 And we're off.....

 We have so much fun on our up north family vacation, can't wait for next year.

Cheesy, I know but look how happy we are!!

Up North Birthday get together

Fishing.....

 Jace's first fishing trip.

 He had lots of fun.

 Look what I caught.

 So excited.

 Until I told him we were going to eat him for dinner.

 Just kidding, after we put him back, Jace caught another one.

 And another......  I didn't have to wipe my hands down as soon as he released it, he would catch another.

Sydney had fun fishing also, between the 3 of them, we had our hands full of fish.

The girls were able to try out tubing and loved it.

Boating the Menominee River

Rope Swing Fun

 Ellie must have jumped off 3 or 4 hundred times.

 Dad, maybe even more.

 Jace loved getting thrown, weeee!

Sydney was there too, just didn't get any pictures, she wasn't too eager to jump off but next year she definitely will.
