The Fall was really beautiful here. I really think that I enjoy things so much more now that I have children. To look through the eyes of complete innocence, in wonder of seeing things for the first time is life-changing. Some would think I would never have rolled around in falling leaves or picked an apple off of a tree, listening to my excitement of visiting a park filled with leaves or heading to the farm for fresh Fall fruits and vegetables. God and all of His glory really does seems much more real and present when looked upon with childlike eyes.
So some of our many events included visiting several u-pick farms, taking hay rides, picking pumpkins, and apple picking to make apple pie. I was even filmed teaching kids for a local TV show on organic farms. We visited Leavenworth with Grandma, it is a small German style town in the mountains. Halloween was great as Isabel and Josiah dressed as a lion and a lamb, very Biblical. Our other Grandma and Grandpa visited and we took a ferry ride to have a picnic on the islands. The kids and I have been doing a home school preschool and doing fun things like setting up an apple stand, growing grass, and visiting many museums. They also attended art school, which was great for me because glitter did not end up on my floor.
Jason and I finished up our marriage group, helping newlyweds get through the first year of marriage. It is a program set up by our church and we learned much more than we were able to teach. It is such a gift to our marriage.
Here are some pictures of our Fall...
