Pressing On...

As fall starts up here are some of the things I'm looking forward to becoming part of my schedule:
  • more regular meal planning
  • cooking a whole feast and hosting friends for Canadian Thanksgiving (Oct 12th!)
  • being part of the leadership team of MOPS
  • getting back into the swing of blogging and posting pictures and videos (and catching up from the summer!)
  • learning more about parenting by taking a "Growing Kids God's Way" class
  • making foods like pumpkin bread and butternut squash soup
  • watching everyone's antics and the beautiful scenery on Survivor
  • the last few weeks of being part of our CSA (fresh, local, organic veggies every week!)
  • growing in wisdom with other wives as we start our "Created to Be His Helpmeet" study
  • spending more time on the kids' scrapbooks
  • enjoying our beautifully renovated kitchen/dining room and exterior siding
  • watching Connor learn and grow and learn and grow (most recently, waving and saying, "papapa"!)
  • hanging out with Caitlin who is just blossoming into such the sweetest little girl
  • figuring out the intricacies of what it means to love another in the best way for them at any given moment
  • sharing the ups and downs of life and living in true community with both those in our small group and our close friends
  • finally getting to wear that Gap sweater I bought at the outlet for ridiculously cheap in July

And on that note...goodnight!

Oooooh, Allison!!!!!!! "Created"!! Hold on for a ride! That is some great stuff, but a little tough to take at times; first time through I had to take it in little bits, so convicted I became. Your fall list sounds a lllot like mine! Fall is my FAVE!
