Almost famous.

My good friend, Kia, always has an amazing wall display of her beautiful portraits hanging at our local mall. This fall she chose one of our family images from last year to grace the wall. Here are Ashlynn, Addie & I proudly showcasing her work:



We are practically celebrities around here..... :-).

Leaves. Lots of them.

Things that come to mind when I look at this picture:

• Safety first.
• "Ok, everybody put a hand in, we jump in the pile on three,...."
• "If we pretend like we are talking, he'll keep working and won't notice."
• "Mom says she loves raking leaves, I'd rather be jumping in...."
  

He did get to play in them....

And so did this cutie:

If you rake them, they will come......

In my attempts to rake the leaves, I couldn't help but let the kids have a go at it. They immediately starting making a pile to jump in.

Good times.
