In case anyone was wondering, we are still here. Our main blogger (that would be me) experienced a rather serious health challenge recently which is requiring a longer time of recuperation than anticipated. As I am able to do more things, I am slowly getting back into the flow of life. Being on the mend is so good - I am learning many things dealing with a long term (4 to 6 month) recuperation. I still experience set-backs - but God's work of healing continues in His time. All of that to say, we are still here enjoying the goodness of God through it all. Our posts will still be a bit sporadic - but hang with us - we enjoy your company.
With the cold of winter and the mad flurry of beautiful dusting snow today - I am already finding the memories of the moderate fall temperatures sweet. Winter holds its own charms - but the cold blustery winds is not one of them :) For those of us who were not quite prepared for the really cold weather to set in, I am posting a few fall pictures.

Gabriel - ready for anything

Josiah - as relaxed as a cat
