Family, Autumn, and a Park

This year, we were blessed by a friend who gifted us his time and talents for a family photo shoot in the park. We had a great time while we captured a few moments in time. We are thankful for our friend's generous gift. Many thanks to you, ZachRicky! (there's a story behind that nickname--a story for another time, maybe). :-) Thank you MUCH Zach!

Teen Time

We have a new teen in the house! Riley recently had a birthday.

We celebrated him with a day at the range, a special homemade sushi dinner, and an evening of cake and gifts. Riley had a great time with the guys at the range and we learned that he's a pretty good shot!

Riley chose a pretty specific cake--yellow heath toffee cake with fall sprinkles and the traditional candy corn. The cake hit all the high points that Riley was looking forward to and the sushi dinner was a wonderful treat. :-)

We had a great time celebrating Riley and welcoming him into the teen time of his life. Happy Birthday, Riley! We love you!
