flying by

 Happy Halloween. Just had to document costumes. They had a great time, although it was an adjustment to walk from house to house, instead of core way to core way :)

 Happy 3rd Birthday Tate! We just happen to fly to Salt Lake on his birthday so he (and the rest of us) thought that was pretty awesome. I can't believe that three years ago this little guy was given to our family. Three years ago that little baby had to undergo heart surgery. To tell you the truth, I often forget it all even happened. But then I recite Tate the story of what happened on the day he was born and I can't help but feel the deepest gratitude and humility. 

 I want to be like the women in this picture. They all inspire me.

 Best baby in the world.

 Mom and Dad. Don't they look fabulous!

 Nelson Family

 Bennett loves family pictures. Lucille loves her dress.

This bottom picture is a daily occurrence in my house. Morning reading with Darla is just a precious sight to see. The sunlight on their faces is what did it for me this time. With Thanksgiving here next week I hope that will forever be thankful for the PEOPLE in my life. Like my wise sister-in-law once taught me; relationships are all that matter.
