Grateful

On Thanksgiving, we woke up to a beautiful day. With nothing on the agenda except for over-filling ourselves on good food that evening we decided to visit the arboretum for a hike. I'm so grateful for my little family. The day was surreal.





There's nothing better than wandering aimlessly in lovely weather with two cute kids and their proud papa.

Nature Walk

This was perhaps the last nature walk on our little trails this year. The days have chilly undertones and snow is on the horizon. Kenzie insisted on the red shoes. I have long sice given up the battles over what the gal should wear.

The unexpected.

Who would have thought when we headed out for a walk on a fall day that we'd run into something so fun... A neighbor in our 'hood had gotten t.p.'d by a very over-zealous t.p.'er who took their job veeeeeeeery seriously. Kenzie played around in the yard for a bit while I took pictures. We left with a souvenir -- a t.p. tail.

Falling Leaves

It's that time of year..again. The one that Mama hates and any kid loves. The leaves are all crashing to the ground and are easily raked into large piles of instant fun (including allergic coughing and hacking for the rest of the evening!)






Kenzie and all her pals have been converging in our yard (we have the most trees) and giggling through fall....






The only true bummer..is that winter is coming soon. Not that the KIDS care...
