the last warmth of autumn

Making this week's collage made me happy. I love capturing normal life stuff like Hannah doing backbends and crocheting and Max attempting to kill flies.

Lisa Bearnson shared this thought on her blog and I thoroughly agree ...

"Some of life’s greatest adventures

happen right in your own backyard."

As I was pushing Truman in his swing yesterday - for like a half hour... and the other tots were playing kickball, I realized how glad and grateful I am for the location we are at right now... with a great place for our little ones to enjoy themselves.

As crazy and constant as things are ... I love my beautiful, ordinary life!
