It's amazing how fast time has flown by this year. The cold weather is settling in, and we must wrap up warmly as our children go out trick-or-treating tonight. Last week we attended a neighborhood trunk or treat, but my husband wasn't happy about the long queues, so we had to rush. Tonight, we're hoping to move quickly as our two trick-or-treaters make their rounds. I've had to keep the heat on all day due to the cold weather. What's the weather like where you are? We've finally almost completed the roof repair after the big hailstorm a few months ago, although it took longer than anticipated. My brother recently took the Ancestry DNA test, and we were surprised by the results. We have a wide range of ethnicities besides Asian, which is wonderful to discover. Thanksgiving is coming up, and I can't wait to share the wonderful experience of preparing the food with some wonderful helpers. This year, I'm particularly grateful for my wonderful family. We...

Isn't it beautiful how with each season comes to change? My favorite season of them all is Autumn and I'm so glad that it has arrived. With each day that passes, we see change and it's really important to capture each moment. I look back on pictures that I've taken and I'm amazed at how so much has changed over time.  My flowers in the garden are still showing off their beautiful colors, but some are slowly fading away. I normally cut a few and bring them into the house and display them in vases. My fall decor is out and today there is a cool breeze in the air. My oldest has been busy with school. Our youngest just turned four this month. They are always making us smile. I'll celebrate my birthday this month and I'm actually looking forward to a few changes. My husband just had a big promotion and we are just so thankful.-God is good all the time!  Our days are busy, but our days are always filled with so much love. These days I'm just reall...
