Aidan Draws Jeopardy



Every night we watch Jeopardy together as a family. Aidan has taken to "drawing Jeopardy" each night. You can see Alex Trebec in the front of all the players. He painstakingly writes out each competitor's name every night. And then he presents his drawing to "Mammy and Daddy." Love this kid.

Things I Love in the Fall in America

My mums. And all the fall flowers. And the crisp chill in the air.Pumpkin carving time. Which also means roasted pumpkin seeds. Yum.Girl Scout cookie time! Oh thin mints, how I love-hate you.
Views such as these everywhere you go in Maryland. Aaahh the beauty of God's creation. We are so blessed.

This is my most favorite time of year. As one of my running buddies recently said, running in the fall makes training year-round totally worth it. I missed Autumn in England. It often felt like we went from spring right back into winter with not much of a summer and no Autumn. Here, I love the mornings waking up where there is just a bite in the air but the sun is still shining, and by afternoon it is still warm. We have our windows open letting in the fresh, cool air which offers the most perfect sleeping weather.

Then we have Halloween:With Thanksgiving soon to follow. Ahhh we live a good life. We are so blessed.
