Pumpkin Time

Pumpkin Patch 2011
Look at this photo; we didn't have a CLUE...how our lives would change.
This family loves October. Pumpkin cream cheese, pumpkin lattes, pumpkin pies, pumpkins! We even made pumpkin pancakes for brunch and pumpkin muffins (thank you Trader Joe's). Looking at our photos from last year at the pumpkin patch makes me sad; some days I wish so hard we could go back and live our lives like it never happened.

  1. A wish shared by so many...including us! Your post 2 days ago so reflected what our family has been feeling the past year...really, the past 2 years since Gwen died. Madeleine sounds like the most amazing little girl...thank God she's so strong! We thank God that Ian is so strong and patient.
    As far as normalcy...sometimes it hurts too badly to think what life would be like "otherwise". We try not to as much as we can...but you look around at people who have no idea how blessed they are with healthy children and normal routines and it gets so hard.
    Anyway, just so you know you're not alone. <3
    We try to think of how little we take for granted anymore that we otherwise would have. Little things, big things...and what amazing little people God is shaping these children into.
    We have no idea what His plan is.
    Ecclesiastes 3:11 always comes into my mind when i think of these things...
    I hope you're all feeling some peace today, and enjoying your wonderful family, just as it is!
