September.  Warm days.  Suddenly fall.  Echo ranch.  babies.  Doctors.  Better health. babies. Anniversary!  Finally knitting again.

That has been this lovely month.  Echo Ranch was yet again amazing.  We have been blessed with 2 sunny weekends there....can we make it 3 next year??  I took a record 1314 pictures there.  And no, I will not be posting them all here.  :-)  My camera is still broken, I have a phobia about sending it away.  I took 2 of Jacob's cameras this year, I see a trend forming.

It was warm and sunny, then all of a sudden it was fall.  Believe it or not, I am ready for winter and snow. Just around the corner is Thanksgiving and then Christmas and TIM and Katie!!!

We still watch Robin on Steve's off days, and once a week we watch Eleanor as well.  I am having SO much fun... it's tiring and rewarding. I love seeing the girls smile and laugh and know me.  Robin has Steve completely wrapped around his finger.

Steve and I celebrated our 11th anniversary last week; we went to the Salmon Bake and came home and watched Thor. I'm so glad I married my man.  We've been juicing, I know it is making a difference in our health.

I miss David.  I miss Tim.  I miss my Dad.  I miss Shelly.  Come to Juneau. Bill and Donna, Karen.  You come too.

My back was amazingly better for one week.  Then it decided to be mean.  Oh well.
My arm isn't numb anymore, so I am KNITTING!  I still have 3 1/2 baby blankets to knit.  I will be done.  It might not be until Christmas, but I will be done.  :-)

Pictures?

With so many Echo Ranch photos... if you want to see them, go to facebook.  :-)  I uploaded about 320 there.   Aren't my girls awesome???

Kids

Kids.  Isn't it amazing how much they change our lives? Once you have a child, your life is never the same.  I am always being told that my boys aren't my babies since they are grown up now, but they will always always be my babies.  My youngest just left for Bible school again.  I miss him, but I am so happy that he is learning and growing closer to God.  All my kids have a walk with Jesus, I am blessed. 

Grandkids.  There just aren't words to describe how special my girls are.  Steve watches Robin on his days off, and I'm starting to get better so I can be more involved now.  We are now watching Eleanor every other Wednesday as well.  It is work, but so so rewarding.  As I told my Dad last week, I am not a spring chicken anymore, I'm a fall chicken... I would say I'm summer but who am I kidding?  I'm a fall chicken.  :-)  Right now I'm feeling more like a late winter girl, but today was such a great day.  Robin smiled and smiled and smiled.  She laughed and was mellow and sweet.  Eleanor had the best day ever, she took her bottle like a champ, smiled,  and laughed.  Oh, and Jacob loaned me his camera so I got PICTURES.  Yay!!!  I have so missed my camera.

Look:

I love my family.
