It has been a long time since I have posted anything - life for the Dustins has been very full and busy. School is taking up most of my day this year and so there is very little time left for anything extra. We have managed to squeeze in some fun fall memories though!
These were the kids costumes this year - Ryan as Peter, High King of Narnia, Hannah is a Renaissance lady, and Jacob, of course, is a very handsome Indiana Jones!

We managed to carve some pumpkins this year as well.
"The leaves crunch under my feet as I walk, the wind blows ever so elegantly. The leaves rustle in the wind after turning into that reddish-orange color. The steady fall of Autumn leaves, falling to the ground. It's all just so beautiful". This is what Hannah wrote as a description of fall... she summed it up so well.
A couple weeks ago Danny took the boys on a camping trip for the weekend and Hannah and I stayed home and did some home-projects, decorated for fall, and went to hear Carolyn Mahaney's message on beauty. We watched HOURS of Jane Austen movies while we crunched on a huge bag of Cheetos. We had a lovely tea, and thoroughly enjoyed our "Jane Austen, home-decorating, beauty" weekend!!! This is a tradition now in the Dustin family - this being the second year in a row we have done this - boys go camping, girls stay home. It is really a tradition we hope to continue forever, even with in-laws and grandchildren.
Hannah and I went to Butlers Orchard and gathered pumpkins.
Meanwhile, the boys were at their campsite battling spiders, cold weather, rain, and rubber beds. Let's just say that I am glad that this is a "boy only" weekend...
This year Danny bought a special game to play in the cabin if it rained. Let's just say they played HOURS of this new game!!Happy Fall everyone!!!
