Life ends during the fall.

I never thought of it that way before. It's true. Life ends in the fall. It returns in the spring. Life does go on. It's so hard to keep going on. Sometimes I don't want to go on. I miss my mom so much. Sometimes I feel like life is normal, the way it used to be, and then I'm suddenly jerked out of my little moment of peace and remember that she actually died. She is actually gone. I hate it. We are all still struggling with her loss. It's not 1% better. I'm afraid it never will be. 

As life moves on we try do things to cheer us up. Fall is around the corner and we are loving the mild atumn weather. We have been busy keeping up with these crazy toddlers. Here is what they have been doing:

Visiting Kiupers family farm

Festing at my all time favorite fall celebration: festival of the vine!

I bought some handmade bows at the fest. So cute!!

A georgeous night for a fall fire!

A beautiful outdoor weekend!

Pre-K 3's class of 2015

The oldest apple of my eye returns to the cute little preschool program at a local baptist church. We look forward to seeing her grow and learn. She loves the teachers and friends she has made. It's a wonderful little program.

The first day was "Meet the teacher day" followed by the first half day of school.

We have been blessed with georgeous fall weather also! We have been having a great time outside enjoying the mild weather. 

Grayson is our tag along :) he is so precious!
