Fall colors

It's Fall and everyone is talking about it. There are pictures all over facebook and Instagram. For such a wonderful time it really should last longer. The leaves change colors and then they are gone. It would be so nice if we had a whole season of beautiful trees rather than just a couple weeks.  I love fall and I have noticed that I enjoy it more every year.

There are so many vibrant and beautiful colors. I really do love all the pumpkins, and mums everywhere.

Gabe really likes the colors too. He came home the other day and said "Mommy, me and papa were driving and we saw lots of pretty trees they were red and orange and yellow and green. They were pretty but not as pretty as you." In case you were wondering, yes my heart totally melted. 

Fount of Mercy Scarves

So every Thursday I go to lunch with a group of ladies. We call ourselves the Lunch Bunch. This picture has most of us and an added boy. There's me, my best friend, my mom, two of my aunts, my grandma, my aunts' best friends from high school, their daughters and the boy is one of the daughters sons.

Anyway Lynn (front left) has a daughter Lori who lives in Africa. She comes back to the states and joins us for a month of Thursdays every year. Recently she shared this Blog that tells about her project in Uganda and some Scarfs they are making. The blog really says it all so you should check it out.

 

It's a really good cause and here is a link where you can Shop. They are really pretty.

Pumpkin Festival!

I have taken Gabe to the Pumpkin Festival every year since he was born. It is something I look forward to every year. I always take his picture next to the biggest pumpkins we can find. I love looking back on the pictures from every year and how much he has grown!

We had a lot of fun this year. He made a car and played on the playground and found an inflatable pumpkin man that Gabe thought was awesome!

He has gotten so big. I love traditions! This is one of my favorites.

WOW 4 & 7 Already!

October is a big birthday month in our house.

Wesson White

Shawn Patrick

Wow really explains it all. As their Step-mom their birthdays are a little different for me, just because I wasn't there when they were born, but at the same time, I was in class with Patrick when Shawn was born and remember him being the proud daddy showing his baby's picture around. I remember being on Facebook and watching Wesson crawl across the floor for the first time.

When Patrick and I started dating Shawn was 4 and Wesson was 1. It's crazy to look at them and think about how far we have all come, in the last 3 years together.

We love you boys! 

Happy Birthday!
