It's the Little Things

It's the little things that make me realize how much my life has changed in one year.

Things like the number of pumpkins glowing on my porch this Halloween.

When I found this photo of last years pumpkins it served as a tangible reminder that I actually have four children now. You'd think the actual children wreaking havoc through the house would be reminder enough, but sometimes it truly is the seemingly insignificant things that hit me the hardest. I set the picture of the three pumpkins as our desktop background. When Cora came home from school even she said, "Oh ya! We didn't have four pumpkins last year."
Which served as more proof to me, that things are just as they should be. This sweet little girl who as rounded off our number of kids from 3 to 4 is right where she belongs and it feels like she has always been here.

We had a great Halloween, with a lot of celebrating.
We trunk-or-treated at the church, had Cora's birthday and passed out Candy on Halloween.

Passing out candy on Halloween. The kids actually loved this, and I have to admit I was grateful not to have to get them all dressed up again and traipse around in the cold.

Mar was being such a nut. I took about 5 pictures and she pulled this face in every one!
