I am thankful for weekends. In particular, I am thankful for beautiful fall weekends. We are having the most beautiful fall this year. We’ve had more rain than we are used to, but I am not going to dwell on that. Instead, I’m going to be thankful for all the beautiful days we’ve been having lately. The temperatures are just perfect if you ask me. The mornings are crisp and cool with just a little nip to the air. The days warm up nicely to the low to mid-70s with sunshine and a light breeze. The skies are the bluest of blue. And, the leaves are putting on quite a colorful show this year too. It’s a wonderful time of year! Our Creator is so good to reveal so much beauty to us here on this earth. I mean, really. It could very well be an ugly place, but He’s good to us and lets us see and experience beauty every day. So awesome!!
This weekend has been really nice for our family. Yesterday the girls and I got to take our friend Alexis out on a girls day out. First we had brunch which was SO yummy! Then we went to Build-a-Bear and the three girls had a ball! Each got something different – Macey got a horse, Mariana got a leopard and Alexis got a cool blue peace sign bear. After the mall, Alexis and I brought the girls home and Alexis got to meet our puppy, Daisy-Belle. And, then Alexis and I got to visit while I drove her home. It was just a great morning/early afternoon for us. On Saturday afternoon, our sweet friend Donna met us at the church and took family photos for us. I am so excited about this because, honestly, in the three and a half years since we have become a family of four, we have never gotten a really great family portrait. (No kidding) I know that Donna captured some great ones for us. She’s a great photographer and such a dear church family member and friend!! We had a nice little dinner at Willy’s last night and a quiet evening at home. Perfect! Today, Mickey and Mariana are going to church while Macey and I stay home. Macey has been a little under the weather lately and yesterday wiped her out, so we’re going to have a laid back day at home for her today. It hasn’t been a very eventful weekend, but it’s been wonderful just the same. AND…next weekend we’re heading to Disney, so we are very excited about that already!!
I’m going to close this post with a few fall pictures from our October trip to the apple orchard and pumpkin patch. Have a blessed day!!
