Bike Ride
After a crazy yesterday, I decided the kids needed a break. So we ran to the store and then took a bike ride at Oxbow. It was a beautiful day to be out!
Love Notes
Since he was little, Mark has collected colorful leaves for me. Many of them are pressed between the pages of the books we were reading when he gave them to me. I was a little disappointed I would not be getting any this year.
However, Mark was pressing leaves he found while walking around campus. He often put them in his shirts button hole till he got to his dorm so he would not lose them.
This weekend we were at Cedarville for home coming. He presented me with a folder. With it was one essay he was especially proud of (and it was very good!) and leaves he had saved for me.
Bike Ride
We have enjoyed Oxbow’s trails for many years. I take the children often for walks, to go sledding, or to look for animals or pretty fall leaves. Yesterday was the first time that anyone rode their bikes through our favorite paths. We will have to figure out how to get the other bikes in the car and take the other kids one day soon.
Sunrise
Enjoyed watching the sunrise with my boyfriend this weekend.
Babysitting Butterflies
Today we released six healthy Monarchs.
Colorado Rainbow
This was a complete double rainbow!
Releasing Butterflies
Audrey and Megan had fun releasing eight Monarchs this evening. We still have some chrysalises and a few caterpillars, but this year’s Monarch season is almost finished for Audrey. 
Colorado Evening
This is the driveway to “Grandma’s house” one beautiful evening.
