Camping Out

Chris took the kids camping last week, and they had a great time. It was a quick trip up in the canyon, complete with roasting marshmallows and exploring. The next day, they went fishing, which they all really enjoy.

Admittedly, in this shot, no one looks to be having fun....but I know they were.



Not sure what is going on here . . .

You can tell my kids live in a basement and don't see much sun, huh?



Fall has begun.



What a view.





Mel, Joseph, and I stayed home. Too cold for the baby, in my opinion. Actually, the real reason is that I think camping requires at least a full week of planning; I'm not good at the impromptu thing. So we stayed here.

She Enjoys Being a Girl

This little girl of mine is unbelievable! I couldn't love her more if I tried!

We have been blessed to have Melissa here with us so Lindsey has someone to do girly things with . . . and wow does she love to do girly things!

Mel curls her hair all the time. Last time she wanted me to take some photos.
