Fall Farm Photos

 We enjoyed our annual trip to Radar Family Farms with Grandma in October again this year.

Three, five, and seven have been so so good this fall as these ages are so much fun.

 This girl is a farm girl at heart as few things make her happier than playing on the farm.

 These photos with pumpkins mean so much.  The first fall home, my Jilly screamed in terror at a farm like this one as these orange round objects scared her to death.

 Now look at all three of my beauties who own this pose having the time of their lives.

 When she smiles, her eyes always disappear.

LOVE that about my middle girl.

Hanging upside down is definitely how this one rolls.

I am dying to know how Ellie Grace will fit in to this mix next year.

I hope she likes this active, lively crew because we love her so much already.

We can't wait to see her sitting in the pumpkins next to us.

JOY..TRUE JOY

This girl has known the depths of deep despair in her little life.

She has known deep hurt, abandonment, sorrow, and grief that I can only imagine.

 That makes it all the more miraculous that she has such exuberant joy.

 Joy that comes when she is playing in the leaves taking it slow with her momma.

 Joy that comes from picking up a leaf and shaking it in her hand.

 Joy that comes from sitting a spell to throw leaves by the handful at momma.

 Joy from enjoying the simple things that so many of us have taken for granted.

 She has a joy so big that it takes my breath away to watch her.

How I love this treasure!

How I savor each and every moment!

I wish I could just freeze time and drink in her joy just a bit longer because these days of fall will be gone all too soon.

She is growing up way too fast, but today I will choose to take life slow and soak in her joy as long as I can.
