Ok, so I found this picture on another site and thought it just nicely illustrates my perfect morning! It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, well so do my slippers and sitting next to a fire with a good book. What does your favorite morning look like?
The snow is here! Yes, this is what we woke up to this morning. We got a couple of inches and the kids wore their winter coats to school today. Yesterday happened to be a beautiful day until the wind kicked up in the afternoon. It just happened to be my daughter's last cross country meet and it was bitter cold! We all headed home and bundled up. We have been trying to save our outdoor plants from frost the last couple of weeks, but finally gave in last night and as you can see they are looking pretty sad. I do enjoy the fall colors, but my favorite season is the Spring when the buds come out, it begins to warm up, and the sun stays out longer! How about you? What's your favorite season?
My husband just got back from a Leadership Conference in Michigan. They stayed on Gull Lake and it was just beautiful. Check out these great photos. He had a wonderful conference and great weather. We are so glad to have him back home. We are considering a family trip here to just enjoy the lake and beauty of this serene place. The kids would just love 
swimming in this lake and taking out the paddle boats!
My daughter is participating in cross country at her school this fall and she has been gaining endurance throughout the season. Every meet she sees improvement in her running time. I am so proud of her and the strength and determination she exhibits at only 9 years old. I think we could all learn from a child's determination and a spirit to keep on going! Even last night she came home and really wants to run for student council. After homework, she made little buttons out of construction paper she is going to hand out at school today. They say, Got Kaylee? She is supposed to give a speech to her class today about why they should choose her. She didn't have much time to prepare, but came up with a little speech. I understand many students in her class are running, so I am not sure what her chances are, but know this is a great experience for her and she is so excited about participating. There are so many times in life we seem to not stick our heads out there or go for what we want in fear we are not good enough. How about you? Is there something you have always wanted to try, but just too afraid of failure?
