it's the last day of September

The leaves are changing color


and we might be going a little bit crazy!


(at breakfast)


I cannot believe tomorrow is October.

Matt's Grandma Ruth died last week.  It was expected, and blessed, and we rejoice that she is with Jesus.  But it is hard to be away from family during times like this.  The weddings, the funerals, the new babies, the birthdays, the holidays.... they all pile up and then you realize that after 15 years overseas ..... it can feel like you've missed it all.

But we haven't.  For now our hearts live on both sides of the globe, and no matter where we are we won't be missing it "all".  This week it just feels like a lot of missing the America side of the ocean.

Our fall leaves are just starting to turn too. The weather is not yet very cool but we have had lots and lots of rain. If it continues to rain as forecast through the weekend we will break a 70+ year record for the most days of rain in a row - 11!
