Last Weekend it was so nice to get a fresh breath of fall air down in Oklahoma at the Forsberg family farm! We all had so much fun, even though the trip was quick. Lilyana had the absolute best time! She got to go fishing with daddy, she went on a hayride, played with donkeys, miniature ponies, bunnies, baby chicks, chickens, and ducks, oh ya and we can't forget Beanie! Lilyana also met her Great Grandma Forsberg and Great Grandpa Art for the first time! We went to a bonfire/bbq at my parent's neighbors house down the street where we roasted hotdogs and smores, and Lily got to take home her own little halloween pumpkin bucket (filled with candy of course that she gave to her mommy!) We had fun sharing meals together, playing cards, and exploring the countryside. We had so much fun and cannot wait to go back for Christmas! We had fun watching Uncle Brian construct a new home for his little baby oiny hens in the backyard. Sorry there were not more pictures...our memory card was full! We definitely need to invest in a bigger one. Stay tuned b/c there will be some videos posted soon!

change of seasons
We are so excited for fall around here! I can't wait for the leaves to start changing and for the weather to get cooler. I love the change of seasons because it reminds me of the change of seasons in life that we all go through. It also reminds me of the Lord's perfect plan and purpose (whoa I just used some alliteration in there haha) for our lives. Though our family is in a crazy and quite exhausting (at times) season, I have complete trust that the Lord will see us through! He has been our stronghold and place of refuge the past year. Joel has one more year of his master's! It seems so far away, but we know it will come if we fall on the Lord one day at a time. He has given us so much to be thankful for. Here are some pictures from our trip to the Louisburg Cider Mill last weekend where Lily got to see pumpkins, listen to music, and taste cider doughnuts!
