One, Two, Skip a Few...

 Ooooook a lot of pressure lately to keep blogging! okokokok!! If you insist.

These two are like Forrest Gump's box of chocolates: you just never know what's going to be!

Handler time out: the fall decor was perfectly timed with my second trimester so I actually got it going! Plus the season for it was SO long and wonderful!!!

The habits she picks up from the big girls are juuuuuuust something else....

Reading, reading, reading!

Never before seen footage, unless you actually laid eyes on me. 

We are Awana Cubbies!!!  

E was for egg, deviled. With just a pinch of Paprika.

Morning at the orchard with our cousins! So fun aside from bee sting #2 this year 😕

Harvest time!!!! If I were Millennial and cool I'd be going on and on about how I'm an Urban Gardener and green and living off my land. Ya know, all the buzzwords.

Hammy. Precious angel.

Nose to the grindstone. Doing homework whenever possible.

Just look at these Montessori kids! Geniuses in the making, obviously!

Saturday's with Dad are their favorite for obvious reasons 

Another day, another casual walk around the block.

Popsicles in the Indian Summer weather!

A little service project with our friends is akin to a spoonful of sugar making the medicine go down!

And we finish the year out with some forward thinking! We're nearly there!

And that's a wrap on 2020, to God be the Glory!

September, September

September flew by, I can hardly believe it - maybe because I am so unaware of the actual date anymore. Days and weeks? Yes. Dates? No. But! never fear! I know it's October thus time to post. I have to say, looking through the photos, they only tell some of the story. There's so much more, thank you to all who regularly contribute!

Good morning from our porch! AC off, doors open, happy days!

A beautiful day calls for a beautiful outing with our friends!

Head holding seems to be a new pose for these two 😂

Handler time out: Cherry cobbler and blueberry muffs! YUM!

You know you've leveled up when *some* food can be consumed fairly neatly in the car. 👏

Whoa! Mom was there!! Happy Labor Day!

These two little siblings are just too much sometimes 😊

A is for apple! We've started doing a bit of preschool around here 📝📖📗

What a couple of dream babies

4.5 and posing like a champ!

Ham, such a ham.

Handler time out: Spicy, cheesy, swirl bread. Can you tell momma's feeling better?!

B is for bunny and C was for caps! caps for sale!

Sometimes when she gets a hold of my phone, I get the best pictures in return 😍

Handler time out: My dahlias have started to bloom and they are fabulous!

Happy Birthday to the one and only Ms. Laurie! You bring the cake, we'll celebrate! 🎉

Will cook and deliver for baby holding! 😍

And they have chickens, practically a field trip! Definitely highly educational for these city slickers 😂

Saturday at Schwalier's! Just us and half of West Michigan :)

She waits and talks all year about going to the farm to see the kitties 😻

Can we go to Chik-fil-A??? Who am I to say no to that?!

D is for donut!

Cubbies!! Our activities mostly resumed this month and we're so thankful!

Also thankful. Growing and moving! 

That's a wrap on our September! October is sure to be a wild month, but I know whom I have believed and I'm persuaded that he is able to keep that which I've committed to him until that day!
