Fall is in the air!

The girls had a  break from school last week.  So we were fortunate to be able to head to Florida with my parents.
Steve and I had talked about it for a long time.  It felt strange going away without him, but he said, "go, I'm just working crazy hours."  So we were off with my mom, girls, nieces, and sister in law.  My dad drove and met us down there mid week. 

It was a great time with the girls and family. Rest, relaxation, and HEAT!  We LOVE heat!  Especially Brooke :)
 

 

 

 

 

While we were in Florida, Miss Leah turned 16.  1st on the agenda when we got home was the Secretary of State office.  We NEEDED that license.  I've been given much reassurance and asked if I was going to cry.   WHOOO HOOOO BABY SHE"S 16!  I haven't had any worries about her driving.  I'm sure she'll make mistakes, we all do, but I pray for her safety and I'm so excited for her independence and ours.  I remember how excited I was when I turned 16 and how I still love to drive, I want her to feel the same.  Enjoy Leah and stay safe!   LOVE YOU LADY!!!

 

 Last is Harvest! Oh boy!
 I'm not sure what to say.
We usually have a happy
fun harvest stories, but so far
it's been pretty stressful.  The
weather has not cooperated.  It's way to wet, the beans are wet, fields are wet and farmers are stressed. When I got home from Florida Steve needed a belt to keep his pants up!  What!!!!  I said, "see you need me to fatten you up!" His mom fed him supper I think he's so stressed he's losing weight.  Combining is action packed.

Tonight the twins and I brought Steve supper. He was so busy fighting mud he didn't have time to eat.  The stress on his face was intense.  The twins picked up on that fast.  We didn't stay long, got in the van and Brooke said, "I'm going to add farmers to the prayers at school.  We need fields to dry."  Oh sweet children.  Join us in praying the farmers can get the crops off and the rain subsides.
