Happy Fall Ya'll

Fall is finally here. And maybe the weather will give in to fall too! After so many 90 degree days it will be a relief to have some cooler temperatures.

We are just finishing up our first Fall Break from school. This is the first year we have had a week off of school in September. We had to start sooo early in August, which none of us was happy about, but we sure did enjoy our week off. We were fortunate enough to use a neighbor's timeshare for a cabin at Big Canoe up by Ellijay, Georgia. What a welcome and much needed retreat from the "real world"! We were able to hide away in the mountains and enjoy each other's company. Such a blessing!

We spent the week relaxing, walking, canoeing, visiting a pumpkin farm and apple orchard, watching lots of movies and playing games. Each of the girls brought a friend so that helped them enjoy the week too.

So, now its back to the grindstone of schedules, homework, work, extracurriculars, etc, etc etc! Steve has a couple of appointments coming up. He has a check-up with the dermatologist, an appointment with a pain specialist and one with the reconstructive dental doctor to get that started. Life goes on : ) Thank goodness for the little breaks that help us rejuvenate. As you go through the week remember what Paul said in Phillipians (4:13) - "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me". Have a good one!!
