Fall!

I walked outside today and enjoyed the beauty of the colors that Fall brings! As I watch the leaves begin to fall, my mind goes back to when I was a child we would rake the leaves up as high as we could and ride our bikes thru them, we would jump in them and hide in them! As my mind wandered, I realized that my life has changed just as much as the leaves, and that everything in my life at some point seemed to be as bare as the trees in the Winter. Everything I hoped and dreamed of lay in a pile on the ground. Today as I look at my life, I see that somewhere along the way Spring came and produced new growth and once again brought sunshine and flowers along this pathway I call life!

  1. Loved looking at your blog about your life with Tanner. We too have DS in our family... a 13 yo girl and a 11 yo boy. They came along with a 26, 24, 20, 18, 17 , 15, 12 and 7 yo :) I agree so much with most everything you say. I don't think I could have been as strong as you have were with all the sadness you have had in your short life!! I praise God for the way HE has helped you, and for your great testimony and lives!
