All the Fall things… I especially love a craft that makes a cute decoration! Fall wreaths…these were not a favorite, since they had no paint of glue, but they still turned out super cute!

Listen! The wind is rising and the air is wild with leaves. We have had our Summer evenings, now for October eves! ~ Humbert Wolfe

Taco boy… Half birthday happiness. When you’re at the dr, but it’s a visit for your brother, and not you. X-ray time. Little foot check-up! Daddy love. He chooses the healthiest meals. Blood work and heart clinic. With our baby doll. Little girl with a giant balloon. Rainy day… Lunch date at Starbucks!

This past weekend we had the immense honor of celebrating the life of a little boy from China with a very special heart. He waited for thirteen years to have a family of his own, and he finally got his wish last year. He was so incredibly loved by his family, and he loved them…

Eighteen years…and I love him more every year.

Let us be eager to leave what is familiar for what is true. ~ Francis Chan
