Letting her hair down....

I tortured the children with a fall photoshoot today (actually they were pretty good)....and I convinced Macayla to go with her hair down instead of the usual ponytail. I think I got some sweet shots of her here. She's growing into quite the young lady. I'll try to share more later.....I got a few great group shots. I'm all set for the Christmas cards this year! :)

Summer days.....coming to an end.

And we start a new schedules.....everyone has something "new" on their plate as far as schoolwork. Jacob has an entirely new course (of which some will be monitered), so he is taking that quite seriously. This summer seemed to zip by, with the trips North, Dutch relatives for a couple of weeks, and the last cottage week just last week. All good. I am so thankful to God for the means and flexibility of Eric's work schedule to be able to make these memories with my family.
The fall colours soon to come hold a special beauty that I look forward to. This is something I did miss in New Zealand- the distinct seasons.
The September month on the calendar has filled up with meetings, etc.........
And with that I leave you with Gideon and his oh so dramatic ice cream eating technique.
