this. beautiful to me. and grateful to my God who created it all. |
2426 | quilting (and that even though I have no idea what I'm doing with this log-cabin piecing, I love it.) Again: Inspiration here. |
2507 | a day off for Mark (and his Columbus Day creativity for the kids for breakfast) |
2513 | for Audra, who apparently thinks hiking means running. The whole way. We could barely keep up with her. |
2520 | For the garter snake that Adelia spotted, Isaac wasn't afraid of, and everyone else was wary of. |
2561 | Mark, who loves well [also, as a side note: I always feel so proud of myself if I can somehow manage to get a candid shot with everyone in it. Success!] |
2594 | apple-picking with mom and the kids: a new tradition! |
for these six. {even the grumpy one!} |
