Grateful

With freezing temperatures on their way, today became potato harvesting day! We had a few extra family members around to help dig and lots of littles to bend and pick up potatoes. The potatoes were a lot smaller this year and the hills weren't as full. We still feel blessed to have gotten what we did though!

Once the crates were full, we loaded them into the back of the truck to take to the root cellar. The littles were all super helpful and happy while we worked and stuck it out until the end!

Oliver has been begging to stop by the stairs every time we drive by on our way to town. We decided in the late afternoon to head out as a family for a walk. Unfortunately the weather wasn't very cooperative and it started getting really windy and spitting rain. 

 

By the time we finished, everyone was cold and ready to go home. But it was still so nice to get out on some trails and enjoy the smells and sights!

 

I am super grateful for this crew! When I think back on how crazy this year has been so far, they've shown such resilience and strength. I know it hasn't always been easy for them and there is things and events and people that they have missed so much. I appreciate their happy attitudes and willingness to persevere and help those in need along the way.
