Allergy Visit

Day 328/365
We had some time to kill at Jevin's allergy appointment this afternoon. I don't usually bring electronic devices to doctor appointments, but since I knew he was going to need something to take his mind off his itchy hives, I brought the iPads along for a special treat.

Snow Fun

Day 327/365
Our first significant snow of the season - enough to keep us home for the day. The roads were icy, but we were still able to get out and enjoy the fresh snow.

Tree of Thankfulness

Day 326/365
This tree is on the platform at our church, filled with leaves with notes of thankfulness for the blessings God has given to our church family. It is such a beautiful, and visual, reminder of all the amazing gifts God gives us every day.

Jevin has been getting creative with his Legos again. He's been inspired to build new creations using the blocks he already has in his collection. I always love seeing what he comes up with.

Coloring with a Friend

Day 317/365
Enavi does such a good job playing with this little friend, entertaining her and looking after her. It is so sweet to watch them together.

Snow Dust

Day 316/365
We had some snow flurries today - the delicate flakes were quite pretty as they fell. I went for a short walk on a bike trail and found this snow-dusted bridge. It's cold enough that the snow is still on the ground.

In the Brush

Day 315/365
Only 50 more days until the end of the year!

Catching Snowflakes

Day 314/365
We took a break just so we could run outside and catch some of the big, fluffy flakes that were falling to the ground.

Afternoon Tea

Day 313/365
The kids are playing upstairs with friends, granola is baking in the oven and I have a few moments to enjoy my tea at the kitchen table while I finish my book.

Pumpkin Scones

Day 312/365
Our new favorite fall treat: pumpkin scones. These are lovely with tea, coffee, for a bedtime snack... anytime, really. And just in case you want to make some, you can find the recipe here.

Trouble

Day 312/365
The kids are on a Trouble kick right now. They've been playing at least one game a day and sometimes I even get to play.

Toddler Mittens

Day 311/365
I crocheted a pair of Green Bay Packer-inspired mittens for a friend to give as a gift. They turned out pretty cute, if I do say so myself.

Roadside Leaves

Day 310/365
We have a small leaf pile that has accumulated at the end of our driveway. We have lots of naked trees!

Day 309/365
I decided to split up the bouquet that Bruce and Huldy brought when they visited and created this mini bouquet to display in my hand made bud vase.
