Mac Stack

This is my little charmer. Sometimes I forget how cute he still is since he's no longer the youngest. He's still got plenty of cute in him though as you can see.  

BOO!

A little tissue paper and string, a little Glad wrap and presto! A little bit of spook in our home. 

Happy Halloween! (These weren't up for 5 minutes before Ruthie found a marker and colored on them)

More to come 

Lego Bucket

Have I mentioned that I love this age?! (20 months) I think it is so cute. Ruthie just decided that the Lego bucket seemed like a good place to hang out and climbed right in. A great fit.

Hello Fall

Good bye summer, hello fall. This morning I saw frost on Zach's car and on our roof tops. It was chilly last night and this morning I had to put a sweatshirt on. It was lovely. Won't have too many more days to do this though.

Love you

I told Ruthie "I love you" this morning and this was her reply-
"I love it, doggie". (stuffed dog she sleeps with and drags around)
"No Ruthie, I love YOU!"
"I love it, Doggie."
Great, glad we had this mother daughter moment.

Perspective

Our yard is a work in progress. Zach has spent some serious hours in the past two weeks laying some sod and preping the rest of the ground for grass seed. From this angle it looks like we have a lovely front yard. Lay some sod, toss in a few flowers and bam! Instant walk way. From the street a few days ago though, you get a different picture. There was a huge mound of mulch left from grinding a stump before we moved in, tons of weeds which I pulled out, and very sparse grass in between. (The picture below is from the spring and much greener than it was when we moved in in July.) Well the Lord was kind enough to send rain so here's hoping to a real lawn in about a month.
