Little Man Reads!

He loves this little book. He "reads" his book all the time. He gets a new burst of excitement each time a turn the page. I've never been so proud!



“I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! -- When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library (Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice).”

Millcreek Canyon

There's just nothing better than a gorgeous Autumn drive up Millcreek. It was so nice to get out of the house and go for a lovely family drive. Scott keeps telling me he's convinced he wants to live up this canyon when we decide to settle down. I wouldn't mind.

It's weird... I don't really like taking pictures of the autumn leaves. I was telling Scott as we drove (he kept asking if I wanted to stop to take some pictures on my phone) that we can never actually capture the beauty of autumn... so I'd rather just remember the beauty than take pictures that don't do it justice. But we did pull over and snap a few because it was just too good. These pictures are a couple weeks old, and a lot has happened since then. I have some blogging to do... especially since our little guy is changing and growing daily! Stay posted.

I love being a mom.

And I am grateful for every single second. I've been given so many wonderful gifts, and Peter is the greatest one yet. I am overwhelmed with gratitude for everything that happened one month ago. Everything we went through was worth it, and we came out with more blessings than we could have imagined.



"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28)."

What I love most about this scripture I came across last night... the perfect placement of italics.
