It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year...

... at least in my opinion!

I LOVE this time of year!  The trees are absolutely amazing, the air is becoming crisp and cool, and there are so many great things to do outside  (i.e. go to the pumpkin patch and pick out a pumpkin, play at the park, go on a hayride, etc,... )

 I think of Fall as God's last display of the beauty of His creation before the winter and cold weather come upon us, and beauty is an understatement!

This year I'm really trying to take it all in.  The best way I know how to do that is to capture the Fall splendor with photos... here goes!

   This photo was taken at Lake Needwood.  You may recall that Lake Needwood was the location for our recent family photo shoot.  Aren't these colors just breathtaking?
Pumpkins... 
Buddy with the pumpkin of his choosing at the pumpkin patch...
Our sweetheart... not sure which pumpkin to choose...
A few more photos at Lake Needwood...






And here are some pictures from Redland Park.  The munchkins and I visit this park on a regular basis once the weather warms up in the Spring until the last leaf has fallen in Autumn.  It's one of their favorite places to run and play!




I hope you are able to take a few moments this season and really marvel at God's creation.  It's such a gorgeous time of year!

8 Years Ago Today...


Jon and I got married at Grace Fellowship Church in New Haven, IN on a cold, wet, dreary Saturday,  October 26, 2002.  The dreary day did not dampen our excitement about getting married to each other, though!

God always knows what is best for us and I'm so glad He picked Jon to be my husband.  He is my perfect mate in so many ways.  I love him now more than I ever have and, Lord willing, I'm looking forward to spending many more years together with him and our family! 

I love you Jon!  
I can't wait to see what God has in store for our future together!

Smile!


Our family had a photo shoot a few weeks ago at Lake Needwood with our good friend InShil.

Here are a few of the many amazing photos she captured...













... and here's a picture of InShil.  For some reason, she always seems to be behind the camera, instead of in front of one.  :-)

We LOVE our pictures and had a great time on our photo shoot!  We are very thankful for InShil's obvious gift of taking great pictures and the gift of her friendship.  These photos will be treasured for years to come!
