Weekending

We love the weekends, but then again, who doesn't?
We love waking up slowly, making homemade pancakes and lingering together at the table over a warm cup of coffee.
And on this particular weekend we made our way to the vineyards in Muttenz.
There is something absolutely magical about the fall and vineyards in the fall is true bliss.
The eye candy of the changing leaves, the crispness in the air, the pumpkins in harvest and the vineyards.
Oh, let us tell you about the vineyards.
The colors, the grapes, the smells...all too good not to enjoy.
And this year, we get to enjoy them with the little man who now loves to hike along beside us, precious, mitten covered hand wrapped in ours.
This is truly a season to be savored!

Savoring the beauty of the season

So proud of his work.

What a big helper!

Fall is Upon Us...OK, Make that Winter!

Happy Friday to everyone.
Today, a simple post for a simple, sweet day.
All the family is together, the fall has arrived and we are enjoying the fruits of the season.

Friday Treasures

Sometimes words are not necessary.
These simple pictures capture the fullness of the heart.
Thank you Noah for your love and the lessons you teach me each day.

Stolen Moments

Noah and Robert collecting chestnuts.

There has been a lot of coming and going in our house lately.
Sweet "hello's" to dear friends and sad "goodbye's" as they depart and make their way home.
And beautiful reunions as Robert returns home from much work - related travel and sorrowful goodbye's as he departs once again.
And for those precious moments that he is near, we embrace the time and enjoy just being together as a family.
The pictures below are "stolen moments" those moments we choose to hold onto tightly in hopes that they will get us through one more leg of the travel, weary journey we are all on.

Fun in the graffiti filled playhouse.

Thinking and swinging...

Big hug to Geo.

And this is why I adore children...the boots, the vacuum...not a care in the world!

Noah's new favorite toy...the vacuum...if only it really worked!
