Do not anticipate trouble, or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight.
Benjamin Franklin

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Phil 4:6-7

Fall Pictures

This weekend we attempted to get some fall pictures of Stella. She was somewhat cooperative...some of the time. The majority of the time, however, not. But oh well, it was fun. This was our first attempt at getting some with some apples....pretty fall like, huh? And we even got a half a smile.



Then we quickly learned that Stella is terrified of the pumpkins. She hated them when we had them inside the house, and couldn't stand to be near them. Oh great, my plan for pictures of her with the pumpkins quickly went out the window. Anytime she saw she was getting close she began crying...


However, we did manage to get one great picture of her with a pumpkin AND smiling. Success!!


I convinced Brian that we should attempt to paint instead of carve our pumpkins this year. I loved it! I think they turned out great and it was so much fun (and easier!)


I had to laugh at this one. It was towards the end of the weekend and looks like she is praying, "Please God, let this be over with soon."
