Fall Break

 This past weekend we headed up to Asheville.  T had a conference to attend so the kids and I tagged along to have our own fall break.  We went up the Blue Ridge Parkway on Sunday and ended up here at this waterfall.  (Oh, after an almost 2 mile hike I might add.) It was so beautiful.  It amazes me what our God has created.  How can anyone look at something like this and not believe in our amazingly awesome God???!!!

 I LOVE LOVE LOVE this picture.  I am going to definitely get this put on canvas. 

Tug is getting pretty good at taking pictures.  We decided to head the longer way back which turns out was straight up hill for almost a mile.  Needless to say I thought I was going to DIE.  We should have gone to the falls the way we went back to our car, but oh well.  We had a great time and topped it off with *Mellow Mushroom* downtown and some ice cream after.  And I scored a sweet deal at the *Mast General Store.*

Bodee Update

Here's a fairly recent picture of our 3rd child.  She has grown so fast.  She fits right into our family.  And of course no dog would fit into this family without a personality and Bodee certainly has one.  She likes to sleep under the covers or up around someone's head, she doesn't like to go out by herself (I think she is afraid of the dark).  She is the official soccer team mascot.  We can't go anywhere without drawing a crowd because she is so cute.  She rarely barks unless the blow dryer or vacuum cleaner are on.  And she doesn't much like the broom being out either.  

1st Day

 Yes, I know it's nearly the end of the first 9 weeks, but it's better late than never.  Here are my 'babies.' I am now Mom to a 3rd and 1st grader.  Unbelievable.........they are doing well thus far and I can only pray they continue to do as well as they first weeks. 

Summer Crafting

So, I am a little behind on blog posts, but hopefully some of you are still reading.  I love to craft, and not this is not from Pinterest, although I have finally caved on that one too!  But I created this at the end of summer to go on the front door.  I created one for Valentines Day too!
