oh, let the sunshine in!

It was finally sunny today! And the wind didn't blow us over! And it was above 20 degrees! All the exclamation points indicate the excitement Charis and I felt, finally being able to get outside with the boys...all of us feeling a little cabin feverish and crabby. Chris (and Ellis for a while) worked on projects outside - another welcome diversion. So, even though both Ellis and Owain are whining this very moment, I can promise the outdoor activity and crisp, fresh air did us all some good.

So, there were a handful more photos I couldn't resist posting. First, Ellis in his puppy dog costume on Halloween. We were in the cities for the festivities and the grandmas were especially happy about that - very fun - Ellis LOVED visiting great grandma Cedarleaf at the Covenant Village...he was really fascinated with all the cool walkers the folks there were "playing with" in the dining hall. Next thing we know, he'll be begging for a walker for Christmas.

A few other photos from life at the farm and in the city - just some favorites from this past month. I love the shot of Charis reading to Owain and Ellis - this is happening almost daily now as Owain comes to love "Peek A Moo" as much as Ellis does. More to come!

Ellis turned into a little boy yesterday! And Owain is growing so fast!
Our Christmas visit can't come soon enough!!
Hope "the boys" will share their moo book with their little girl cousin next year!
Love you guys,

Charis/Becca...What a great picture of Charis reading with those handsome hunks of boys! It sure is a great season of life to be in, savor the moments:) It is such a joy to see both of you loving being a mom, and of course, the dads. I know finding the balance of motherhood and remembering to do the other things that you enjoy and have made you into the women you are today is not easy. Treasure the moments with the kids, take time for yourself, family & friends and let go of the house stuff...it will always be there:):) Thank you for sharing your life at the farm with us, Britta & I really enjoyed our visit. It is always so refreshing.
