Fall is my favorite season. Perhaps it was the early years living in Washington State or the formative years in high school that I lived in Belgium that have taught me to love grey days. It sprinkled off and on today. The wind whistled through the trees. The girls and I enjoyed the crunch of leaves under our feet and the sound of the water slowly moving in the creek. We found deer prints on the bank of the "river" and tossed hedgeballs into the water just to make a big splash. The girls got their feet wet. I enjoyed the last of the warmer weather before the onset of cold and couldn't resist heading inside to capture these memories on my camera. I am so thankful for these slow days, enjoying the gift of God's glory displayed in His creation.

Daddy throwing his girls into the pile! Fun!

My tired littlest one stayed awake to enjoy the wind and the drops of rain too. Her eyes were a brilliant blue today and her hair looked red against the backdrop of the brown leaves. It is her half birthday today. Happy 6 months, little one!
And I even let Abigail snap a couple pictures of me and Tabitha too.
...with our lovely compost bin as a backdrop :)
