A Gift

Sunny days are doubly glorious when they are a gift, not a given.

Here we are a whole week into November. I’m supposed to be thinking about shopping, Christmas cards, turkey dinners and apple pie. Instead, I took my kids to the park.

Ahhhhh!

The lawn was covered in leaves. We played chase. We built a leaf pile. We jumped in. And, we LOVED the marvelous “crunch” all that fun made.

It's true that you probably appreciate it more since you have way more cold and gloomy days. But I'm still thinking that living in a place where 75 degrees all week is a gift I'm not about to return any time soon. I don't live near family, so I HAVE to love my weather!!!! I do miss the crunch of fall leaves. It's warm, but not as colorful here.

I'm so with Jennifer...with no family around and no leaves to crunch, 70 degree weather is all I got. I am finding myself getting annoyed when a "cold front" comes in and we barely break 60! But I can really appreciate your point of view!!

It's good to catch up with you guys! Your kids are getting so big and they are so cute!! I think you looked at my (kariann) cousin's house in Plain City, because they told me that someone who was in dental school at Louisville looked at their house(they couldn't remember your name either) - how funny and what a small world! Is Chad doing a GPR or is he working? Glad you started a blog so we can all keep in touch! Take care!
