 Exploring Moses Lake is always fun.




10 things that make me smile:
Merit's determination when he does his school work, practices spelling words or plays sports.
Watching Hazel walk
Willem's imagination
Merit's teacher
Imagining having Thanksgiving at my dads. Although no plans have yet been made to travel over this holiday, I have really fond memories of being in his shop last Thanksgiving.
Dreaming about maybe someday, some way, adding a 4th child to our family.
My friends
Thinking of some day being in the classroom TEACHING!
Vance
Attempting dinner at the Whitehouse Crawford in Walla Walla

ok, #11 - I had to add one more. That is so me. I wrestle with simplicity and have to be a little random.
Watching Hazel and her cousin Kendal interact today made me smile

This is a fun idea. I hope we can do turkey day together. : ) Last year was fun, I missed doing Leavenworth too this past summer. I know it isn't easy for you to come to Lynden, but of course I really want you to. Let me know when you decide.
Seeing all the things that make YOU smile makes me smile!

I can't wait to see Hazel walking! And Merit's front teeth are so cute now that they are all the way in! Wish we could be up there for Thanksgiving this year too. Great memories from last year!

  When Merit was a senior, I had all the feels.  Now that Willem is a senior, I have all those feels but they are intensified.  Because now ...
