Golden Autumn

The sun is waking up later each day, but I don't mind so much because it means that I am able to catch the sunrise each morning and bask in it's beauty.

This morning I was blessed with this golden view out the front window while the children scurried around the house packing their lunches and pouring bowls of cereal.

We enjoyed some time outside in the afternoon. Oliver makes the best chore buddy! He helped me gather eggs and we held hands and laughed all the way back to the house.

Sonny is getting SOOO much better with the children. He is not as mouthy as he was when he was a new pup. Oliver isn't afraid of him anymore and often says, "I just love Sonny! I'm so glad we have a dog like him."

We finished off our afternoon with a visit on the back deck, soaking in the sunshine!

Then it was off to pick up Camilla from volleyball and bring her to riding lessons! She has been horse crazy and we thought this would be a great place to begin! She has a beautiful horse named Abby for the next few weeks and loved every minute of it!

After the children were in bed, I made up a batch of jelly. The shelves downstairs are slowly filling up and it's nice to do something each day.
