Morning Splendor

This was the image I was greeted with as I pulled out of my driveway a couple mornings ago. It was so gorgeous that I had to run back in and grab my camera. It's simple moments like this that remind me that God is watching and that I am blessed!

Enjoying Mother Nature

A couple of weekends ago, we ventured out to the Portage Nature Preserve to soak up some of the beautiful fall sunshine. What a great way to spend the day. Sadie even got to tag along and enjoyed exploring the local terrain. By the time we got home, she was one pooped out pup! By the way, your eyes are not playing tricks on you. There are 3 children in the picture. Stephen's buddy Chase went with us. Even though most of the leaves had already dropped from the trees, it was still lovely to wander in and out of the many trails taking in some of Mother Nature's beauty.

Some of the local wildlife.

Love this and love him!!!!!!

OOOH, LA, LA !!!! ;0)

Wilderness men in training.

Halloween Fun

Ok, ok, I know that I am way late on posting Halloween pictures, but life has been pretty busy. Besides, haven't you heard the saying "Better late than never"? I'm starting to think that it needs to be my life motto! Enjoy the pictures!!!!! :0)

This was my attempt to channel Martha Stewart.

CHEEEEEESE!

Luke...I'm your father!

Stephen decided to use his costume from last year and change it up a bit. The result..... gangster zombie. The scariest part of his costume is that he looks about 15 years old! YIKES!!!!

This picture cracks me up! I love the look on both of their faces. By the way, the one in the middle is Michael after his Lithotripsy procedure on the Friday before. JUST KIDDING!!!!

"Trick or Treat, smell my feet..." Wait, I probably shouldn't teach them that.

Stephen's pumpkin which he pretty much carved all on his own. Gotta love the pumpkin stencils!

Matthew's pumpkin is supposed to be Yoda. We think something happened in the translation. Matthew liked it though and that's all that matters!
