Feeling more like Fall

The weather is finally turning.  I am so ready.  Summer was beginning to wear out its welcome.  Cooler temperatures and chilly breezes swooped in just in time.

Yesterday we fished out our sweatshirts (I say that as if it was a minor task- it wasn't.  Lots and lots of digging through a very disorganized even hazardous closet) and headed out for a little hike...

I love the way these girls explore nature.  They are becoming so much more observant, so much more appreciative of God's creation.

We could see Fall emerging.  It was so subtle.

3 sisters in the wheat2009-09-28  


Thank you all for your sweet little notes about the new baby.  I will admit we were not planning this pregnancy. At first- the idea took some getting used to (it took me no less than 20 minutes to convince my husband that I wasn't joking!).  But, mothering these 3 girls has been such a joy-filled blessing and we are privileged to be shepherding their hearts.  I know that baby number 4 will be more of the same, in the best kind of way.
