When I got home he was pretty much just waking up. I asked him what he thought of the snow while he was playing the wii. He said it was cool, but I wasn't sure if he realized how much snow had already accumulated and how hard it was snowing.

Just about everything about fall is fabulous! I love the colors - all of them. The colors found in nature and the colors found in my closet. And cool fall air, you can't help but love it!. The smell of dry leaves, apple cider, and logs burning in the fireplace...bliss. And then there are all the wonderful scents put out by Yankee Candle.<br />The thing that I find so interesting about my love of fall is the fact that I was born in the fall, and I have noticed a trend among my family and friends...it seems that most people prefer the season in which they were born. This is definitely not a scientific study, really it is more of a theory. Anyway, here are a few pictures from last fall. I hope you enjoy them.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqFMoCttP4SjfuKs4N3ZqLB0RnaAAm62uTswttJRSJt64xA3K4lfyize8SG-QsnotYfFs4ICWMa2uzOrl7i0toVihhV8RBvVeL09YVU3ZHdO4MrXWfZYTgbRm-x5hTr5A2PrkAiO2dpBTD/s1600/Fall+09+105.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqFMoCttP4SjfuKs4N3ZqLB0RnaAAm62uTswttJRSJt64xA3K4lfyize8SG-QsnotYfFs4ICWMa2uzOrl7i0toVihhV8RBvVeL09YVU3ZHdO4MrXWfZYTgbRm-x5hTr5A2PrkAiO2dpBTD/s400/Fall+09+105.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529574237802547074" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYhT_MvbofRe4BD9AblgCgeAnE7BBx-LQScEy8sujWyHL1WLogOC1-iUyzTzdl6NZQ5aFRhAnv_4B8GefKLdC5gSSponVq2MCF36YtdCnSb_JtqWwgMcgOWIqA2M7acQsIGBqyFFARulJk/s1600/Fall+09+110.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYhT_MvbofRe4BD9AblgCgeAnE7BBx-LQScEy8sujWyHL1WLogOC1-iUyzTzdl6NZQ5aFRhAnv_4B8GefKLdC5gSSponVq2MCF36YtdCnSb_JtqWwgMcgOWIqA2M7acQsIGBqyFFARulJk/s400/Fall+09+110.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529574108703337586" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg18bULGHUrhGtp4dhlHltsF9KC8lvCjF-VF8NyLxd8ite8SKoz5str7Ic55V1PrYT6eGfk4ETYGK0xHAKh01B4LzNFZKw9dBJkvLBtji-TPmKiGJ0SH_6qskGl-r8Q_HGIcyKx5Okl1vb/s1600/Fall+09+114.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg18bULGHUrhGtp4dhlHltsF9KC8lvCjF-VF8NyLxd8ite8SKoz5str7Ic55V1PrYT6eGfk4ETYGK0xHAKh01B4LzNFZKw9dBJkvLBtji-TPmKiGJ0SH_6qskGl-r8Q_HGIcyKx5Okl1vb/s400/Fall+09+114.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529574103576716850" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjPiVQ_i6UPPFl_eGRCoXFVnIH8sYaH0zdtvh7vCUk4N3KqkG66z6u_y-8vYG9DoCjs4nGGRh1khCbETpTOnvSmRoM6BamEquro5_6Ir_wu6-1faSBbRV7cqfaITQBk-GILKGWSWk1YIJ1/s1600/Fall+09+114.jpg"><br /></a><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="border: medium none; background-color: transparent; background-image: none; background-repeat: repeat; background-attachment: scroll; background-position: 0% 0%; -moz-background-size: auto auto; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial; width: 106px; height: 37px;" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/225/A87C042638CC921087F3A2AEBFB9CD07.png" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/225/A87C042638CC921087F3A2AEBFB9CD07.png" style="border: none; background: transparent;"/></a></div>Alishahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13842243327785505902noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6512960643824590545.post-41024708982234014272010-08-07T20:42:00.008-04:002010-10-18T22:25:41.056-04:00Caleb & Madison<div style="text-align: center;">Quite often Caleb and Madison come to church or a get-together and they match.

Gratitude towards all the men and women that risk their lives every day to help keep our country free, and gratitude towards the Almighty God for the protection of those I hold dear while they serve our country.<br /><br />After the recent <a href="http://www.airforcetimes.com/news/2010/06/airforce_helo_crash_identifications_061010w/">helicopter crash</a> I was grateful to hear that a good friend of mine is safe. However he suffers a great loss - the loss of his comrades; his brothers. <span style="font-size:100%;"><span class="UIStory_Message"><span style="font-style: italic;"><br />"He which hath no stomach to this fight let him depart. But we in it shall be remembered. We few, we happy few, we band of brothers!! For he today, that sheds his blood with me, shall always be my brother”.</span> William Shakespeare<br /><br />While reading an article about the crash I learned that t</span></span>he 66th Rescue Squadron flies search and rescue, aeromedical evacuation, and disater relief missions. As most may know it was during an aeromedical evacuation that this helicopter was shot down. I also learned that the motto of the 66th Rescue Squadron is<span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span> "These Things I Do So Others May Live"<br /><br />Their motto, "These Things I Do So Others May Live", has been ringing through my mind all day. Considering we here in NY are in the middle of a conference I can't help but make a spiritual connection. Just as the 66th Rescue Squadron lives and performs their missions so that others may live, a good man or woman of God lives their life that others may have eternal life.<br /><br />So not only do I say Thank You to those that give their lives so we may live in freedom, but I also say Thank You to those that live their life so that others see Christ in them.<br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span class="UIStory_Message"><br /></span></span><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="border: medium none;

I really enjoyed doing the research for this post, and to be sure I was completely informed I even joined the FlyLady's group. As my close friends already know I am a pretty organized person, but the tips and advice given at <a href="http://flylady.net/">FlyLady.net</a> has taken what I do on a daily basis to a whole new level. The best advantage of all is more free time to enjoy with family and friends. If you are looking to improve the condition of your home and life and even if you are just a little curious about all this I suggest you head on over to <a href="http://www.empoweringmommy.com/">Rachael's blog</a>.

Here are some pictures for the experience. There were a few tears but my mom really thinks that is because he remembers his surgery for having his top four teeth taken out. Once his tooth was out and he realized it really didn't hurt all was well, and exciting.

I'll start with the first stop we made. We left NY at five o'clock in the morning, drove straight through to Minneapolis and got there around midnight. The next day we got up, walked around Mall of America a little bit and then headed to Aunt Betty's house.<br />She has had a very busy holiday season so we all pitched in to help her get ready for Christmas Day and the Christmas weekend when her kids would be home.<br />While I was wrapping gifts and then making Christmas Cookies Andrew and Thomas were decorating her Christmas tree. (All the while we had Christmas music playing and Christmas candles burning.) As you can see it is quite a large tree, but they had fun! Every little bit I would hear them laughing about something. Here are a few pictures.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivf3Y0_EhRJCnxJVn66_qxQyFsf3C2oTImMn-NvRf30dDf7VKjwCV85-rcWi5B2ZvHtKQ54qF80CrhNa4NF8lgP1O5MbUQZJCVBnpeyrrhNEZFMgy6CVf2Z_arJ2K56s4yxNVa6MTYdDD1/s1600-h/Christmas+09+068.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;
