Fall Happenings. . .

What is up blogger world!?  

Life has been so great this past week or so.  Things are moving along wonderful for our family, the weather has been just beautiful & lately we haven't gotten some rain with cloudy skies & even a few sprinkles.

Although we haven't been going to several of the games this season I have still be sporting my HOG colors on game days.  This past Saturday Chad took me to the lake on a blanket & we enjoyed the cool breeze alone just catching up on life.  We watched the game at a restaurant after & it was so relaxing!  I love my sweet hubby...

Must add, my adorable fun comfy shirt was given to me in the mail from the fabulous Bekah at Kiki La'Rue! Go visit their FB page here & like them!  She is beyond a sweet friend to me in Dallas & mailed me 4 shirts & several pieces of jewelery from their shop... why?  Just because!!!  I was so grateful to receive these goodies & literally cried going through everything.  It brightened by day during the storm I was going through with my Daddy...
 


One Saturday before visiting Daddy at the hospital!


A few weeks ago, Avery had her first field trip.  I volunteered to go & I was so glad I did!  She had a blast visiting the fire station & then we had a picnic in the park.  I am so pumped that my camera is finally fixed but have to pick it up, but for now more Instagram pictures via this blog post!

Can you tell priss didn't want to go to school?


Her look changed after she saw her sweet friends Brenleigh & Eden!


We are so ready for FALL!  My house is completely decorated for the Fall & I love darker cooler nights & lighting my candles!  


 I made Mom a beautiful Fall wreath as  a welcome home present to her & my Dad!


We have been starting to dress in our fun fall clothes! So ready for October so we can dress in Halloween!


We have finally started buying pumpkins & one day this past week we sat in the backyard on a blanket with snacks & painted our hearts away!




Speaking of the pumpkin world, this past weekend we also went to the local pumpkin patch by our house.  I just adore it.  The sweet couple that own it live in the house next to it & it's just precious & so sweet!




We have also been enjoying this fall weather this weekend riding our bikes on local trails!



Last week my Aunt & Uncle dropped into town for a few hours on their way back from Dallas & saw my Dad.  My sister in law came over with my nephew too & we enjoyed a nice lunch!  My Dad is looking SO much better! He is doing AMAZING!


And I have been visiting my parents quite often lately & we have enjoyed doing one of his favorite things; sitting on their porch watching the lake.  It has been overcast days lately & just so peaceful.  We walked today too, 8 laps down their driveway & 1/2 way down the street & back.

  I am so glad he is healing- each day is so much better than the day before.


Things have been progressing so much with my Dad.  Of course he is still gaining so much strength & gaining weight better through eating; which he has needed.  Life hasn't been the easiest road lately emotionally, but I am still gaining strength each day & thanking my Lord for it!  We know through Him, all things are possible!

  7. I have been reading your blog for about a year now but have only commented a time or two. The story with your dad, of where your life was when he was in the hospital to where your life is now, is proof that when you are going through your deepest, darkest days, that is when God sweeps in to your life and your relationship with him grows so much stronger. From a scary time or event, there is always something great that comes out of it. God is so good if we just keep trusting him and living through him. Happy October 1st : )
