Micah looking so big.

Sweet smelling spring blossums in late October.

I made a really cozy blanket for Micah using a free sheet and old blanket.

Jacob is such a good dad. I love to watch him with our kids.

Strange but beautiful.

Just Flowers in Afternoon Sun

It is so cheerful.

I went to my first football game. It was the local university team, and we lost, but it was still fun. 

It was also kind of a date, and we even had a girl from church to watch the kids. 

An evening walk across the Ohio. 

Our Last Swimmable Trip to the Creek.

Because the water has become too cold now (well, the air is too cold now).

I love these pictures so much. They make me happy and sad. Happy because I love that place so much. It is so beautiful and peaceful. That was such a lovely evening all together. And sad because summer is gone.

Bagdad

Back to catching up on things that happened a while ago...

Another of my weird, random outings with the kids took us down the interstate and then some country roads to go to Bagdad. Americans sure do know how to be original. We just name all our towns and cities after old world places. Anyway, my main interest in going there was to see the massive grain opperation they have. I was very happy. I think it was one of the workers that stopped me and asked if I needed something or I was just being nosey. I told him I was just being nosey. Haha!

If I keep up with these weird "field trips," my kids might think I'm a little strange. Of course, they'd be right. 

Right Now

This is one of the most beautiful things to me. 

Today...Four Years

Today marks four years since Jacob and I got married. Love is a wonderful thing. Life hasn't always been easy these 4 years, but God has blessed us with a wonderful closeness and love that keeps growing each year. 

Today was a simple family celebration with a fancy chicken dinner and lots of flowers. 

Jacob gave me a bunch of sunflowers, which I seperated into several bottles because they are so big and cheery on their own. 

They looked so pretty with the sun shining behind them. 

I filled the smaller bottles with wild flowers and my own homegrown flowers. 

Flowers, flowers, and a flower (Taliya).

Our delicious dinner (and Jacob hand modeling, hehe!).

I'm so happy to be yours. 

I love you forever, Jacob.
