Fall Firsts

The past month we have had several firsts for this family of 4.

First huge blizzard. We were literally snowed in. Our back door was completely covered. Thankfully another first; Adalyn meeting Auntie April happened to occur at the same time. The kids enjoyed having her here and I was so happy to have my sister close. I'm eaquallu overjoyed to meet thier new baby next year. 

Our back door

2 days later Sam "dressed" to play. He's a true dakota boy!

This is my snowed in face

Sam got caught with a fish hook while fishing... It wast technically this month but I had to add it. He said "dad fished in Sam's mouth". He took it like a champ. 

We spent 3 days without dad and survived! We had so much fun. What a blessing to have good sleepers and content moods. 

Adalyn turned 6 months, got her first tooth and can sit up for several minutes un assisted. She is growing so fast.

Blizzard entertainment, but Sam went to the bathroom completely of his own will with no suggestion or assistance. He is becoming independent. I may not have to change diapers forever. Yeah!!!

As our incredibly short fall (2 days) turns to winter and bitter cold comes, I yearn to share Gods grace with my children. 

I want them to know the warm of God's tender love for them. I can't wait for the day they realize their need for him and find new life.
