Service at the church house





I Am Thankful For......

On November 1st, I hung this piece of paper up on our front door with the words, "I am thankful for...." so we could focus on gratitude. Here are some of my favorite things recorded throughout the month:

Fall Family Pictures

I think it is so important to capture a family in picture over the years. Unfortunately, I haven't always made it my first priority because I felt huge and pregnant for so many of those years. I have repented of my ways and now make it a top priority to have an annual family picture.

We hired our neighbor and friend, Kim Boldt, to photograph our family. She was patient, creative and simply fantastic!

Alyssa wasn't in the best mood so Kim shared her sunglasses with the baby....


Dave and his girls
So, Dave wanted some pictures with him and the girls. It took a bit to get Alyssa to smile but the final picture was worth it!




Almost there.....(look at baby girl's thighs!)

....and here it is!

Dave and his sons
I love pictures with the men in my life! I also like standing pictures to measure the kids' growth in the years to come in comparison to their daddy!


Jody and the Kiddos!
I predict that by the time Alyssa is 13 years old, they will ALL tower over me!
