Fall leaves

The girls and I ventured out for a walk and saw a lovely heap of leaves.  We started throwing them up and then katelyn said, "we could do service!"  With that she bolted home for some rakes and recruited some neighbors.  The end result...great memories and shared love.

First attempts

With a little help from recruits

Even our littlest guy wanted to help

Hard at work

Jumping in

Etney even joined in with her dress

Never too old for leaves

Shower of leaves

Buried in the leaves

Life has been good to us

It's been awhile people but we will have another go.  Here are some family photo updates:  we now have little Andrew in our family, we've added on to our home twice in the last 12 months, and I am trying to catch up on journaling our adventures in between.

Last summers Eskimo kisses with Sarah when she didn't want to have family photos taken

Andrew was trying to skip like daddy

Taking out exterior walls and adding much needed space in our favorite gathering place

Well here's to being a little better at keeping life recorded.😉
