Giving Thanks!

 

Though we don't usually celebrate Thanksgiving in our neck of the woods (though I must say our stove is busy today - pumpkin soup and veggie stuffing), it is always nice to be thankful...so here goes:

For family - though far in distance, they are always close in heart

For friends

For health - as health is wealth

For two, beautiful, healthy children

For a partnership that keeps flourishing and withstanding all of life's treasures

For a warm, safe place to sleep each night

For a rewarding career

For enough to eat and drink

For my best - best - it still amazes me that I have known you for 27 years

For experiences

For love, big love, small love, smiley love, jittery love, instant love and unconditional love

Enjoy your Thanksgiving!

Herbstmesse

 It has been a great fall in this neck of the woods.  

This weekend we visited Herbstmesse for the last time, riding ponies and rides and enjoying every last minute.  

We also enjoyed parties with friends and a party at Noah's school.  

We are sad to see this season end, but looking forward to welcoming the holidays.

 Cold, but fun!

 A favorite shot of Noah enjoying his lantern... our little Huck Finn!

 So much fun at Herbstmesse

 Bath time!

 Had to do it - girls and bows!

Right Now

 Right now we are enjoying:

Our back garden

Smelling the lavender

Trips to Bern to get our sweet Miss her passport - watch out world she will travel

Train rides

Rides at the fall festival...who knew you had to be four?

Bows in our hair because, well, just because she is our gal

Hikes through leaves, mist and oh, so much more...how we do love the fall!

Listening to our new favorite group - OneRepublic

Reading -  Confident Toddler Care by Jo Frost, as we can use all the help we can get

Eating salads again - oh, how you were missed

Working on big and small projects

And enjoying these days even though the days are becoming shorter and the nights so much longer.
