The Reason Little Boys Shouldn't...

play with dolls.........in strollers.

A close up. Poor Little Buddy.

Guess What We Woke Up To?

Our "front porch sittin' " days are gone for another year.

It is kind of pretty though.....

(Did I say that out loud?)

Grandparents Day @ Pre-K

This fall Felicity started 3 year old pre-school. She only goes one day a week for three hours. It is amazing what their little brains can soak up in such  a short time.

This week they had grandparents day. They sang a couple songs and had juice and cookies. The program lasted a whole 5 minutes and it was so darn cute.

I took some more pics but only had my little camera with me so of course they are kind of blurry.

So sweet.

There are only five kids in the class
and a couple of the boys wouldn't do the little dance....

Wordless Wednesday

Don't you just love the colors of fall?

Something Beautiful

I've had a pretty uneventful week around here. 

The beautiful leaves have all fallen off the trees leaving them bare
and wintery-looking. 

It's raining and cold.
Winter is definitely on its way. 

Watching the last of these days disappear
feeling the air get colder
seeing the world get darker.
Memories of lying on the grass
of the sun warming my closed eyes.

Now, the warmth is gone
the sunshine is gone
the world has turned into something new
something colder, something darker
something different,

something Beautiful.

Don't Wish it Away

We've been having absolutely beautiful weather here for the past week. I've been trying to take in every bit of these 80 degree days. I know they are coming to an end and it will be a long 7 -8 months before they come again.

Since the colors are so gorgeous we got out there and took a lot of family pictures. This is one of my favorites from the week. It was actually just a quick shot I took as we were walking into the woods on our way to the "posed" pictures. (Which I will be sharing later this week.)

It is hard for me to believe that my baby has his own little precious gift from God. I remember so vividly the days of him holding his Daddy's hand like this.

I know how it is when your children are small and you can't wait until they are older so they could "take care of themselves more."  Take it from me....."Don 't EVER wish your children older." It will happen so fast it will make your head spin. Soak up EVERY second with them when they are little. I know that is my motto with my grandchildren. Don't sweat the small stuff and my BIGGEST motto for raising children......"Pick your battles."
