Yesterday we went out to a farm/pumpkin patch had a great time with the kids. We met up with the Worlow family, and went out cracker barrel for some great catch up time... then today we spent the day getting things done- and enjoying the fact that neither of us had to work today (not that we want this to continue ahha)- it's always so hard right about now- there is the excitement of the fall and holidays coming... Donald usually doesn't have any work- so we get to spend lots of time together, and are also trying to figure out how to pay those bills. I'd say this past few weeks have been verry vibrant with enjoying eachother, and trusting that the Lord will provide work as he always has.

anyway. we brought food to Ashley - Don's cousin who just had a baby a few days ago- it's always so crazy to me that so many of Donald's relatives live here- crazier that we see them so little.  We also went to the indoor play area since it's been raining so much. (I am trying to think about what else is happening)- the house is cleaner since Donald is home so much... and he is at this moment in the basement working on a song. I love hearing him play music... singing...guitar... piano ->whatever It's just really nice to be doing something, and have him playing in the background. *makes me smile*

Here are a few picts from yesterday.

We set the camera on a water pump and are half squatting in the fam. photos- LOVE the timer button on my camera! Something so fun about pressing the button and running to get in the shot!


Look at my beautiful boy- he is soooooo sweeeet!


Dia found this on the ground then pretended (cartoon style) to eat it :)

This is Asaiah- with his camera taking pictures like mom and dad.



Doesn't she look just like Donald's little brothers and sisters (when they were this age!)



I love this one!




Had a great time!- Next year I realllllllly wanna do the Corn Maze (it had been raining and was to muddy to go this year )

I am sitting on the porch watching the kids "kill" spiders- there are no spiders just leaves they are pretending are spiders! now they are collecting leaves again... anyway.

went to the Y today with Gretch- did cardio for 40 min.... working my way upto an hour! I love going to the cardio cinema room.

I love fall- I love the leaves!
Look at these great leaves just sitting here- so beautiful!

now the kids wanna know what I am doing.


Anyway it's a beyond beautiful fall day here in Nashville.

Also- I sent this out to a few people and if you need a great gift you should read on-
