Pretty

Even though it's blurry, this may possibly become one of my most favorite photos of Cate. She possesses such sweet beauty and innocence, yet at her age, it's already getting difficult to get a snapshot of her for she's becoming more camera shy.

The BEST Time of the Year!

We trekked along the Mississippi River to enjoy the absolutely gorgeous fall colors, selecting the best leaves to bring home. It's a day like today when I wish I had a high quality camera (and the talent to go with it) to really capture the beauty we experienced today.

After our walk, the kids were still wired while Kyle and I were a bit tired, so we decided to drive along the River Road which led us to Boom Island Park. Whenever I'm on Boom Island, many memories--some new, some old--flood my mind. My high school is a short distance from Boom Island, so much time was spent there when I was a teen. It's nice to be able to get back there with my kids and create more memories.
