Our Beautiful Life

gosh, I love them

I want to remember this forever :)

They both woke up from their naps a little late and we were rushing to get them ready for Harris’ soccer game. Neither one of them wanted to do anything but have me hold them. They were both lifting their arms up at me wanting to just sit with me for a minute. When I would pick up Harris and love on him, Ruthie would cry and lift her arms until I held her and then vice versa. Normally this would be a little aggravating but for some reason at this moment, I LOVED it. :) I love that they still need me and want to be held. I know that one day they won’t need me to hold them, but I pray that they always know I am here and will love them and “hold” them whenever they need it.

Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate. Psalm 127:3-5

Pumpkin patch

Here is a sweet memory I wanted to get on the blog.

We had so much fun at the pumpkin patch, and I love any chance we get to make a family memory. We are going to try to make this an annual tradition, just like going to the Christmas tree farm.

All of these were taken with my iphone so the quality is poor, but at least I have them.

Scouting out his pumpkin.

Ruthie picked out one her perfect size (that mommy and daddy put back because you pay $7 a pumpkin and we thought that price tag was a tad much for this little guy). But it made a cute picture.

Riding back with our pumpkins

Wish I was in this picture.

Harris loved his pumpkin.

This was his reaction after sliding down the massive slide.

My little daredevil.

I call her my angel baby

She just turned one on September 15th. Here are some pictures from her birthday a whole year ago.

Here are some pictures from this September 15th. A whole 365 days from her first pictures. It is crazy how fast they change in such a short time.

My heart aches I love her so much!

my little boy's birthday

A little late but better than never. :)

I did the 3 year old interview and I hope to do it every year if I remember. Here is what is going on in my little three year old’s head. Then I added some pictures from his birthday.
