Sledding and Cocoa

An annual tradition for our family. With the first snow falling on Mt. Laguna we just had to run up there and take advantage. We stopped in Julian, of course, and enjoyed the best they have to offer at The Julian Cafe. Then while driving up the mountain we watched the graceful snow falling all around us. It was impossible not to be taken aback by God's beautiful creation. Alone on the road, it seemed like it was just for us. Once at the top of the mountain there were, of course, many other sledders enjoying the snow. Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to sled, so I was the photographer while all of my boys and Tyler and Hallie went crazy. We hope you all enjoy the photos and have an amazingly MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Autumn with the Bennetts

We have been having so much fun so far this fall! Among other things, the boys had a sleep over at Nana and Papa's while we took a trip to Julian on a blissfully blustery day. We meandered through a quaint bookshop, an art gallery, the Cider Mill and a dozen little shops while enjoying hot Julian apple cider. It was wonderful to get away on an extended date, just the two of us. Then, this morning we took the boys to Bates Nut Farm to pick out pumpkins. We had an awesome time and took lots of pictures. Matthew put all of them into two albums on his mobile me account and here is the link. Go check it out.

Happy Easter!!!!

Bama and Papa Mike were here visiting from Indiana. We went to Santee Lakes to have our picnic. There, we flew kites, played on the playground and Milo went fishing with the Papa's. We had such a wonderful day, celebrating our Risen Savior!
