Today

Today we forgot that it was October and remembered that we live in Colorado...

Today we gained new friends...

Today we found beauty and color...

Today we ran and played...

Today a smile was found on our lips because, "we couldn't wait for the first snowfall"...


Today our cheeks turned rosy...


Today we remembered that winter is coming...

This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 188:24

"It is ingrained in us that we have to do exceptional things for God—but we do not. We have to be exceptional in the ordinary things of life, and holy on the ordinary streets, among ordinary people—and this is not learned in five minutes." -Oswald Chambers

Such Cuteness...

...Our Sweets...

A Sunday Drive


We've been itching to take a drive to the mountains for the last month or so.  We wanted to see the colors and watch the elk.  We wanted to spend a day exploring. But, up until now our weekends had not allowed for such an excursion... 


Our weekend was approaching and we knew we needed to do a lot of work in the yard but we also knew that the kids soccer was canceled and there would be no Church.  So, we all worked hard on Saturday...



And Sunday morning found us gathering jackets and the camera, 
jumping in the car and  making the drive up to the mountains.  The peak of golds had already quietly passed but still we sat and watched a large heard of elk, played with chipmunks and blue jays, and saw peaks of gold and lingered in the breeze. 


 It was a simply beautiful day.
