Greatful!

I have been reading a lot of blogs lately written by wonderful woman who have been listing what they are grateful for in life. This has made me think of how grateful I am for all of the wonderful things in my life.
I am grateful for:
my precious children
my incredible husband
my family
my health
my friends who are near and far
my home
my freedom
my Independence to do what I love
my community
my country
my dog
my car
my support network
Starbucks!!!!
The list could go on and on...

I'm not going to lye, there are days when I make mental "wish" lists as well but my life is very good. Sometimes we get caught up in life's busy ways and forget to be grateful. This is why it is important for me to document the "greatness"in my life. I hope this brings you inspiration to think of the things that you are grateful for and pay it forward!
much love, krista

Halloween haunt in Foxboro

Another fun Halloween evening with a great group of Shelyn and Carsons friends. We started out at our house and traveled into the village of Foxboro. We met up with a lot of freindly face's along the way. My aunt Donna and my "new" cousin Eddie were very kind to come to the house and hand out our candy. They are such great sports to dress up as well.

Our Fall Family pics

A few Sundays ago we were fortunate to get some family pics taken by a great photographer, Jenna Simpson http://www.aboutimagephotography.com/. I know Jenna through my cousin Michelle. She's was very kind to travel to Stirling to meet up with us at one of our favorite conservation areas, Sager Conservation. The day was PERFECT! Although...poor Rene was playing hockey on the Friday night and slipped a disc in his back which he spent the better part of Saturday in the hospital. It was a rough go for him Saturday but once the pain meds kicked in he was able to move around a bit to get some pics. So his smile in these pics is half sincere and half PAIN!! He didn't even complain once! HE'S THE BEST! Thank you honey!
