Thursday's Thanksgivings

I am thankful for the many things that come along with my favorite season.

For starters, there's the delightfully festive  

PUMPKIN PATCH!

David took our kids, along with sweet cousin Ella,

 on a little field trip this past Saturday.

I was at my dear friend Amy's baby shower. 

I am so thankful that I got to see Amy 

and celebrate her precious little boy on the way!

I wish I had pictures from that, but - as you can see - I sent the camera with David.

However, 

I am very thankful for the fun moments (and precious faces) he captured for me.  I thought David did a great job as photographer!

 Sweet girls

 Though David wonderfully documented the fun outing, 

this picture of John David turned out to be my favorite. 

And then with the season comes (for students, that is) 
the beloved Fall Break!

 Our friend - "Miss Melanie" - was home from school for the week.

I'm so thankful for the time we've gotten to spend with her. 

And - of course - I'm thankful for Melanie's friendship.

Finally, for a few additional photos, 

these below are from last year's Pumpkin Patch extraveganza.

 JD was so little :(

I'm thankful for the little ladies

 John David got to bring along with him this time!

And I'm hoping to be a part of the next visit.

Until then,

Happy Harvest!
