November

November was fun. I had some folks from camp over one day, and we went to another friend's house for Thanksgiving.

I'm getting tired of this. Ha! So, enjoy these pictures.

More drawing. This is definitely one of my favorites I've ever drawn. 

November leaves

Fall colors. 

We did a large amount of yard work that culminated in a couple large fires. 

Part of the yard work included uncovering old rock walls. That was me. My delight. ; )

Me all braided up. Wow! Such a big deal. Literally dripping with sarcasm. 

Hanging with the camp friends. 

Eatin' with the camp folks. 

Me, Jessica, Mr. Zach, Benji, and the twin pretending we're all tough. Definitely "untrue!!"

Dad took this picture of me in the field. 

Yes, that's me in capris and short sleeve T-shirt in November. Typical of our location. 

Also, me running in a field, wow, it's comical. Look at my face!

Spring in November

Just a reminder to all of us that some days are just cold, rainy, dreary, dark, and depressing. 

But not always. 

More drawing

Random sunny afternoon at the park with Lydia. 

Hanging out with the mamas and the little girls in Yanceyville. I love being that "fifth wheel." No, seriously, I love these people and the fun adventures we've had throughout the years. 

Yeah, my life isn't all that excited, huh? But, hey, it's pretty good. 

We're almost done, people. Stick with me. 

I appreciate you all.

October Quiet

I can't think of anything that really happened in October. Of course, there are pictures, but nothing extravagante. Just the quietness of a life in the country. Just the peace and beauty of everyday life, but what really is everyday life? Christ is alive everyday. He's our hope and our salvation, so it's a good life, ain't it? We live so much of our lives waiting for something "big" to happen, but we miss the day to day monotony of what is actually amazing. Life. Life is pretty amazing, especially with Christ our Saviour, so get off your rear-end and run wild in happiness once in a while.

OK, the sermon is over. Sometimes that happens.

Anyhow.....

Septembrie

Like I noted in the last post, we were in MN during the beginning of the month visiting family. I don't remember anything especially amazing happening later that month.

Enjoy the photos.

Lydia and Gabriel hanging out At G and E's house. 

A trip to the Wisconsin side of the St. Croix River definitely gave some of us the nervous frights with some of our boys. 

Cool splashes in a grimy little lake. 

Towering rocks and trees. 

Hanging out at Tyler and Hannah's little apartment.

My favorite little guy, Addison Moses. 

Me and my nephew. 

Hanging out at our AirBNB apartment. We did a lot of "hanging."

Goodbyes

My dad took this picture of us at a game night while in MN. 

Dad also took this picture of Addison and me. 

Back home. Black-eyed susans. 

Very hot afternoon walks. 

Homemade placinte.

Self-portrait

Due to Hurricane Florence, we got a bunch of rain, but, honestly, it hasn't really stopped. 

Lydia sewed herself a dress. 

Playing with hair. 

This is a slightly edited picture I drew of my li'l twin, Anthony. 

I would say one of the best gifts of September was being able to see our first nephew. 

What a little cutie. 

Hey, we've only got 3 more months to go. 

Bear with me. 

💪

August

August was a month to remember. Here it is. I have nothing to say. Haha!

Camp hobo

Counselor swim time. 

Bored pickle ball player

The first of the goodbyes. 

Always twinning because that's what we do best. 

Late night at Waffle House. One of the best irrational decisions I've made. Haha!

Memories on Instafilm.

Hot summer days at the farm. 

Seeing Jessica a few days after the end of camp. 

With lots of coaxing and patience, I was rewarded with the pleasure of meeting Walnut. 

Bethany went to college. 

A visit to the yurt. 

A visit to MN, which will be continued in September. Lydia at the St. Croix. 

Lydia, Hannah, and Mom at Hannah and Tyler's little abode. 

Hanging with the littlest bro. 

God blessed us with a good visit to the MN kids at the end of August. Although, some of it was hard, it was good to see the folks again. 

See you in September.
