As seen through the lens:
What is probably the prettiest autumn season I've ever experienced. Perfect in every way with crystal blue sky and golden afternoons.
Neither Denver or myself ever thought we'd see him wearing one of the these front style baby packs all over the place (in fact I promised myself it would never happen and here I am happily eating my words AGAIN) but these cheapos that I found on Amazon for 15 bucks have been a game changer. The twins are happy as clams for hours and it's been so so great being able to access single track trails that our Chariot could never fit down.
Just dying to be able to step out of an oversized slider onto a real deck. Dear Denver, I'm sorry, but you're going to have to top eating lunch and get to work! I'm going to head back home now for some tea and scones.
If only I was kidding.
Trying to get some yard work done but these two babies are just the biggest distraction.
Birthday flowers and more of the late season sun coming through the windows.
Great Grandma Emard (Aunt Annette and Aunt Renee too) came to visit! I actually thought to pull out the camera and take a photo. I really love looking back at old family photos so I'm trying to get better about taking some for Cas and Ali to someday enjoy.
We found some land, flowing with honey (no milk though) and now it's ours!
Our new land! Just under eight acres a few miles outside of Sisters. Land that we had looked at earlier this year and was still there waiting for us. We pulled the travel trailer on sight yesterday and are looking forward to having a comfy place to stay as we are in the area most weekends for church and fun. There isn't any power or water so we shall see how it all works out.
This house, plopped down in the most beautiful Ponderosa pines, is still for sale, I'm feeling a little gloomy about the situation as our summer selling season has pretty much come and gone. God's timing and plan is always so much different then mine and I'm learning to be thankful for that, thankful for a place to live, and trying to let the future worry about itself.
Me and my baby girl. Evidence that God is faithful.
