Nice pumpkin, Grace!

Mom & Dad help Blake grab a good one

Apples fresh from the tree are best - YUM!

A fun day full of beautiful (hot!) sunny weather and great friends!

Being Punished is Hard Work

A couple weeks ago, Noah had a difficult day. He was crabby, grouchy, stubborn, short-tempered, and just a handful. About noon (before his regularly scheduled naptime) he earned himself a little timeout on the couch. I sat him down and went in to the kitchen while he "served his sentence." I started to empty the dishwasher, and about two minutes later I looked over at the couch and saw this:

Sometimes punishment is just exhausting! It reminds me that even on bad days, there are precious moments to cherish.

A Great Saturday

Hi again!

My my- we've been busy. We have lots to catch up on, so I'm trying to do that tonight. We are loving the fall - it's always been my favorite season, but it's even better when I get to share it with my boys! We took a spontaneous trip to the Kalamazoo Nature Center a couple weekends ago - it was great! The weather was cool and crisp and we had a great time. There's lots to do there, but I think Noah was most excited to just get outside and run . . . .and run . . . . and run!
