Autumn's Beginning : 1000 Gifts

With a heart full of gratitude, my joy list continues...

0043
Morning training runs along the Potomac River. Early fall chill. The quiet rowers pulling through the water beside me.

0044
Backyard basil in abundance. Homemade pesto. Made by kids.

0045
Fun with vinegar and baking soda. An eruption surrounded with giggles. Science experiments with my children.

0046
Hannah encouraging Will in his reading. Brother and sister as classmates.

0047
A wonderful library around the corner. Filling book bags.

0048
"Please, just a few more pages, Mom."

0049
Finding a new park with a big open field.

0050
All three's love of soccer. And a dad's love to play with them.

0051
The start of a new season. New cleats. New uniforms.

0052
Fall evenings spent sitting on sidelines. The smell of a freshly cut field.

0053
Cool night air with windows open. Hearing the high school football game in the night.

0054
A new bike. After a long, patient wait.

  2. I miss the days of sitting on the side lines- fresh cut grass, cool mornings and long days watching each one of my Warriors play. Enjoying each second of being in the outdoors.

  5. Oh, I miss those days on the soccer field, especially during the fall season. My oldest two gave it up for swimming, but who knows... perhaps one of my younger two will pick it up :) Enjoy~

    And enjoy those reading together moments, too-- they really are precious, precious times!

    Have a wonderful week~ and thank you for sharing!

  6. With an empty nest, it is fun to read through your list and remember the days we were doing many of the same things. Treasure these moments; they are so quickly turned to memories.
    You have a precious, grateful heart.
