Fall fun

As we are in full swing of fall here in Nampa with winter approaching ever too quickly... We are reminded everyday on how quickly change occurs. Hannah is approaching 2 in less than a month. 2 years has flown by... but also feels like forever. It's hard to sit down and even imagine where we will be in 2 more years. Sometimes it seems as though time moves so quickly that you look back and wonder where yesterday went, last week, last month. I sometimes wonder what life would be like without measured time... I'm sure at times it could be a whole lot easier. (But since that is not reality we took advantage of the crisp fall weather today and spent it outside! )

Here is Hannah making sure we have plenty of seeds planted for the harvest... The harvest of dandelions that is! I think she may be listening closely to Pastor Steve, but taking his word a little too literally!


Hannah and Sadie just hanging out. Sadie desperate for the chunk of wood in Hannah's hand. If only Hannah knew how important that little chunk of wood was to Sadie!

Life has gotten a little easier now that Hannah can play fetch with Sadie! Now we can get a break every now and then!

Okay so this branch fell off one of our trees but I want you to use your imagination... Now look at the branch, imagine that all the leaves have fallen off... What do you see?

The perfect quadruple marshmallow roasting stick!

Hannah even helped put all of the magnets back on the van after John washed it. It's her favorite part!


I thought Hannah had finally gotten the hang of sidewalk chalk. It's been at least 2 months since she last ate any, but as I turned my back only for a moment she came to me saying "Eeeeeww Icky!" with yellow sidewalk chalk debri throughout her mouth. Oh Hannah...

This is going to be the first slope Hannah learns to board down this winter!

And last but not least here is Hannah with the childlike excitement that we all seem to forget as adults, pointing out the moon that she discovered on her own this evening. She loves to look at the moon and the stars on the occasions that we don't make it home until dark. She was completely shocked that the moon was out so early. We could definitely use a time change!
