Spring

We had an absolutely beautiful day this week - Aaron went out and worked on getting the tiller and mower all in shape for summer and we greatly enjoyed having a warm day after four or five months of cold!

Our garden is a little wet right now...Aaron did some ditching, but it's going to take a some time before it's ready to plant :)

If you look really close, you can see that our chives are just starting to come up -

We just cleaned up and put together this Saucer thing for Esther. She's enjoying it and I'm enjoying having a place to put her if I have to do something with both hands.

Esther Joy!

Jaunuary 3 - A Birth and an Anniversary

My sister-in-law had a baby boy - Jeriah Alvin (Alvin is my mom's dad's middle name) - we went over and saw him and he's very cute - and looks very tiny next to Esther :)

On our anniversary we got our wedding cake out of the freezer - it tasted pretty fresh and this time we had time to eat all we wanted :)

I couldn't decide which frost pictures to post...

January 2 - Frost

We got up the other day and there was a beautiful frost out - Aaron took a bunch of pictures, so I'm going to post a bunch - you'll have to use your imagination a little though, because pictures just can't quite capture the beauty of God's winter.

One day, just for fun, Aaron and I went out to the state forest and while we were there we couldn't resist taking a bunch of pictures. The fall colors were so beautiful!

I really like the mix of the yellows/oranges, with the dark green.

This was a couple weeks ago though, now almost all of the leaves are gone.

Aaron was out visiting a church family, and he stopped to take these pictures on the way.

If you look close, you can see a deer jumping off into the woods.

Hope you have a great fall!
