Photo Post: Family travels

We recently took a week-long trek, first to see our boys over in South Carolina and visit their university, and then up to Virginia for our first visit since we moved away in 2019.

What a blessed and busy time we had! God knows exactly what we need.

The happiness was marred only by a gnat getting in Olivia’s eye and a frog getting in my shoe. Continue reading “Photo Post: Family Outing to Fugate Woods”

I know you are quickly getting into All Things Christmas Mode (we are too!), but let’s just take a moment to savor this last little glimpse of Fall. Continue reading “Photo Post: Leaves & Hot Chocolate”
