A Beautiful Story

As much as I like to post on my own blog, I also enjoy browsing around others.  I do have a few favorites that when time allows I like to read.  The link I am posting here is to one of my absolute favorite blogs (Under the Sycamore).  Besides being a wonderful photographer, Ashley Ann Campbell is an amazing storyteller and artist.  Recently this family has adopted a special needs baby girl from China, but their journey leading up to the adoption was long and sometimes heartbreaking.   If you have time and don't mind shedding a tear or many, read their adoption posts.  They are full of heartfelt detail and consuming images.  I promise there is a happy ending!   Enjoy!

Apple Picking

Last week we took the boys to a great little apple orchard about 40 minutes east of us.  We had fun picking apples, saying hello to the cows and taking a walk on the nature trail.  I didn't bring along my big camera but captured some cute shots with my iPhone.  Have I ever mentioned how much I love fall?  Hands down, my favorite season.  Enjoy!

Homemade applesauce....yum!

Nursery School

Here are some snapshots from Scott's first day of nursery school.  He was so excited to head out and just get there already.  He attends two half days per week and loves it! They sing, they read, they eat, they play, they paint, but he would tell you the best thing about his classroom is the toy train!  Three years until Kindergarten....life can slow down a little!

iPhone Snapshots

 

I was going to go through and caption these photos, but then I realized how many I uploaded and totally didn't feel like going back and doing that.   My iPhone camera may not capture the highest quality images, but it does capture LIFE and I'm glad to have it available all the time.  The downside is ending up with so many photos that usually aren't shared.  I need to do this every couple months or so, just to highlight some of what's been going on day to day with us.   I think I'll really enjoy looking at these posts a few years down the road!
