Happy Thanksgiving.

At 7:30 on weekdays, you will find the kids and I standing at the end of our driveway waiting for the school bus. For the past several weeks, it has been getting darker, wetter, and colder everyday. I know, we live in Washington...it's just that time of year...what do I expect?...So, I won't complain (too much). I'll just say, it's getting a little old.

This morning we were greeted at the bus stop by this rainbow. Faith was excited (so was I) and asked me to get my camera. The sun was just beginning to rise, so with each passing minute, the rainbow got even brighter! It was such a fun addition to our normal, everyday routine and a perfect start to the Thanksgiving holiday. It reminded me that I have so much to be thankful for. I know that sounds corny and NO, I won't list everything I'm thankful for because that would take too long and just be tacky! But, I will thank God for changing up our morning just a little, and for the small reminder that the rain doesn't last forever. Thank you, God, for calling us out of darkness into your wonderful light! (1Pet2:9)

Jaron woke up a few minutes after the bus picked Faith up (I know, another thing to be thankful for!). He wanted to see the rainbow, too...but he didn't want to go outside to do it.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Incog-neat-o!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed playing the part of a circus act for Caryn and Brian's Halloween carnival this year. It was so much fun seeing everyone dressed up and having fun in a carnival atmosphere! Faith even found the courage to go through the "haunted carnival woods" twice before we left. I guess that isn't too surprising...she is a brave & ferocious tiger after all! Jaron...not so much.
