Fall Photo Shoot

Jari and I love fall. It is hard to beat the crisp air, the cool temperatures that beg you to wear a sweater and cuddle yet warm you up when you stand in the sun. And of course the best part is the changing leaves and colors that inspire you constantly. Usually this kind of fall lasts only 2 weeks here but God was good to us and extended the season long enough for me to see it (I was traveling for work during the time I had anticipated the magical changes described). So one Sunday after our church meetings we decided to go snap a few photos. Camille can be expressive when she wants to be. And Charlotte can be sassy. One good looking family. I was so happy to be home again and share this moment with them So as not to lose out on a single moment we went for a walk that night just to enjoy the colors.

One after another they make the attempt, failing each time. Finally, the owner of the horse says, "Folks, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result." (That might not be an exact quote but just go with it). While I laughed at the movie, I never was able to put myself in their shoes. After all, I'd like to think of myself as having at least average intelligence. As it turns out, I too learn at a little slower pace sometimes. To demonstrate this I shall call your attention to exhibit A: Go ahead and say it - I know you want to. "It's not delivery, it's DiGiorno ." Don't worry, I say it every time I see it at the store. Marvelous marketing on their part if they can get me t
