Heritage Farm ~ Sunday Snapshot ~

It's been awhile since we've all been anywhere as a family. Usually it's three or four of us together but today, since it's Sunday we decided on a whim to venture down to a local farm and see what we could find~



Hope of course is always up for a road trip.




                                                             Even I got in on the fun~



We found some pretty cool sites to take pictures of....like my dream vehicle!! Of course the one i want is aqua blue and in prestine condition and costs a small fortune!





Silly Jake, always posing for pictures....









Look at my girls smile!! I just love Rachel's smile...she is so beautiful...



And as always the traditional fall wagon picture, wouldn't be a Christopher fall without one....





Trying to tame my crew of kiddos for a new blog header pic, but they wouldn't have it....kept saying it was silly...sigh~

  and my wooly bear, it's gonna be a long cold winter~



And what is a sunday outing without a chocolate treat?!?!?


Hope you all had a great Sunday!!

Snapshot Sunday~ The Big Sale

My 100 skirts to Joshua sale, that is!! The reason for my sale??




Well, we have a son waiting in China. He is five and just the sweetest little guy ever ~ but I may be partial....and he needs his mama and baba and we need him.


This was taken back in August, isn't he just the most adorable boy ever?? He looks happy and content.


Well, this picture was taken about two weeks ago....he is now in boarding school. All week, day and night...he doesn't look to happy now or content. Hence my sense of urgency in getting him home, which means fundraising for the fee's that come along with any adoption.


So, with the help of my wonderful friend Robin over at Red Thread Stitches, I am launching the 100 skirts to Joshua sale.



These would make great gifts or keep a few for daughter(s).
