Fall Fun

 

This fall has been beautiful.  We actually made it all the way through soccer season without snow, and usually wearing a jacket.  Here are a few pictures of the kids at the park with their friends enjoying the leaves.

Mouths of Babes

 

The only fast food restaurant that is very close to us is McDonalds.  So if we go out to eat that is usually where we go.  But yesterday we took a trip to the “big town” and decided to eat lunch at Arby’s.   When I handed Michael a Jr. Roast Beef sandwich he looked at it funny then he said, “wow, this is a special burger.” 

Maybe they need to get out a little more.

Confession

 

We love the new TV series Up All Night. 

We’ve seen every episode.

I love this

 

A star is a star, it doesn’t have to try to shine. 

Water will fall.  A bird just knows how to fly. 

You don’t have to tell a flower how to bloom

or light how to fill up a room. 

You already are what you are

and what you are is beautiful.

What She Said

 

Last week we ran our 5k with the young women.  It is sad to say but I had never run that far before.  The route we chose was actually 3.6 miles, so slightly longer than a 5k, but I felt extremely accomplished afterward.  Rachelle did a great job of summing up the whole experience.  Go here to read about it.
