Happy Fall!

What nice weather and a relaxing couple of weeks just babysitting, shopping, and being outside. I have decided to get organized and do some more reading every day. This summer I just read for fun, but I will be doing a couple of Bible studies beginning this fall and trying to get through the many books that I own before buying more. It's fun, and I enjoy it a lot; but it's definitely work, too!

I also want to start exercising more - wow, what a bad feeling as I jumped rope a little yesterday! Even though the fair is gone, it is still ever-present with me! HA! Probably last year's fair, too! So I need to get with it. Jack thinks I'm pretty funny-looking jumping rope.

Of course, Jack is the best and most important part of my "day job". I am reminded constantly of what an opportunity and a precious life God has given us to try to influence for Him. And thanks to my husband for being so supportive of this most important time in Jack's life for me to be home with him. I wouldn't trade it (or them) for anything.

So last night, we roasted marshmallows in our fire pit outside. It's a fire code that you have to have food when you build a fire. I just thought that was normal procedure, so it worked out! But it was a nice, relaxing thing to do just to sit and talk to Matt while Jack ran around. I am usually a busy person who doesn't know how to sit for very long, but I'm learning to appreciate the simple life!

Saturday - apple orchard time. This one is a special day for a friend's work, so I'm sure we will hit some more as the leaves change! I don't mind. I love fall and the things that go along with it. I just wish it would last 6 months instead of winter!
