Happy Thanksgiving!!

     We have so much to be thankful for this year. Our large family is so happy to be complete and stronger then ever. Our beautiful children are growing so big, and they are learning everything. My husband and I have had the most challenging summer yet, but we have emerged from it ready to take on the next hardship together as a
unified pair.
    Watching what is going on around me is enough to exhaust anyone. We are preparing for the winter non-stop right now. With the warm winds still here we have been outside all day, cleaning organizing and playing. 

     Our kids are amazing, and I love them so much. They have become little explorers up here in our mountains.
They found 4 salamanders up here in our creek the other day. The older ones have been riding their ATV's and the littles are getting really good on their bikes. We have been collecting and pressing the fall leaves for winter projects when it is too cold to go outside. I have plenty of other winter projects ready too. My sewing machine is back out and the knitting needles are flying. I have been knitting a little red riding hood cape for my daughter. Winter we are ready for you this time!
Enjoy your holidays everyone, I hope they are overfilled with love.

Only in our town!

Kids wait in line to see Mossman and tell him their halloween wishes! It's a little like Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin, perhaps...  ??
