the bridge

it's been awhile since we've been to "the bridge"
even though it's in our neighborhood.

i just love this first picture.
completely unedited.
just love his awe and wonder at everything around him.
looking at life through a 15 month old's eyes is amazing!

sawyer walked all the way around the bridge (maybe 1/4 mile?) today!

and, MAN, it's gotten COLD!
we had coats on and were still cold!
can you tell how dreary and cloudy it is?!?
bailey asked where the sun was :-)
we've been spoiled with awesome weather for a LONG time!

i'm kind of sad.
but it makes me want to make yummy things like pumpkin muffins...which is great except for my waist line :-)

my mom met us at the bridge and we got to spend the rest of the morning and lunch with her!

feeling blessed to do "simple" things like walk around a bridge for an hour with my children and my mom.

may i never take the simple things for granted.

what great pictures from such a simple thing - a walk around a bridge. i will admit that the first thing i thought of was "LOOK at their big winter coats on"! I can't believe it!! it was dreary and rainy here today too - yuck! and i'm trying to patiently wait for pumpkin to go on sale to start making the batches...remember that it's a vegetable at least! (and i've started making them with half sugar and half splenda...there's no need for 3 c. of sugar in anything!!)

*sigh* i love loving the simple things. was just thinking how much i'd rather be walking around the bridge with your family than sitting at my desk on a rainy cold day. *sigh*
