Fall Into Winter

A few weeks after the cousins were reunited here, the moms and kids took a walk to the lake just before sunset. It was lovely once we got there (over the river and through the woods…)

(The bigs posing with a very low lake behind them…)

and terribly sad when we couldn't go down to the water seeing that the sun was setting.

(it's hard being two, isn't it?)...

but we all rallied and had such a fun time.

Just days after Thanksgiving, we took a walk down to the lake again - on a different trail.

It was glorious.

All of  God's creation in dry patches of grass and dirty and sand.

Red loved running around and even got shoved into the water.

I should've been home preparing for advent but instead….

we walked.

We laughed.

We felt like we were on vacation.

And I'm so glad that all of the Advent prep had to wait or I would've missed it.

This year we're doing The Jesus Storybook Bible coupled with Truth In The Tinsel. 

Print and go.

So easy.
