Autumn Pictures


I consider myself very fortunate to have such a talented family who are so willing to share our different talents with one another. I traded a massage for Hanna for some new family pictures. I give a fabulous massage, but I still think I got the better end of the deal because I get to enjoy the results of the pictures much longer than the effects of the massage can last. So, thank you so much, Hanna. You Rock! I will be using one for my Christmas cards of course, but I thought I would share some of the others here.





Cadence has the cutest cheesy grin sometimes. I love it.






Serenity belongs on a ranch or a farm where she can roam free. Both girls do, really. We can dream.









It was a fun, windy, autumn afternoon at Wheeler Farm.












We even had a super friendly horse offer to fill a void in some of our pictures. His decision was a sudden one that initially freaked Serenity out a bit as he nibbled on her sleeve for a few seconds. It was truly hilarious. Like I said, we had a lot of fun. Since discovering Wheeler Farm, my girls have fallen in love with it. If I think about it, the three of us are now very drawn to the animals and simplicity of environments such as that. We had a wonderful time feeding the ducks with Sydney, Hanna, and Eran.

I thought you would use the one with the horse for Christmas cards!

At first I was going to ask, "Why the long face?" but then I read the comment about the horse filling the void, and thought that was perfect, except he should have been turned around.

These are great pictures. I love the smiles, and that is such a cool tree. It's like it's giving birth to you all, but you're clothed. Stylishly, at that.
