Fall is in the Air!

Yes, it's officially Fall! It took a little bit for the weather to change over here in Oregon, but being Oregon, it is finally living up to it's reputation and raining tons. These are some pictures of the kids enjoying the falling leaves. I actually took these pictures October 2nd, before it started to cool down much. Cana, Loyal and Judah scooped up a bunch of leaves, dumped them into the plastic kiddie pool and started rolling around in them. They had a blast!











I absolutely love how something so simple can bring so much joy to children! Couldn't we all benefit by taking a cue from them? There is so much to enjoy in this world for little to no cost!

 
So Fall has finally arrived, but what's even more exciting is the arrival of a precious little bundle of cuteness! My brother and his wife welcomed their first child early this October, a beautiful baby boy whom they named Finley. Finley is my very first nephew and my kids first cousin! So it has been a super exciting time in our family and we are all so thankful for him. Here are a few cell phone pics I've snapped of him when we've been to visit.

That's all for now! Hope you enjoyed the photo update!
