Morgan!
The babies liked Gina's doorstep better than the leaves. And Porter loved the rake, he tried whacking Jordy and Kaleb a time or two. He wasn't going to let his purple gloves define his manhood!
Jordyn and Kaleb loved being buried in the leaves and running as fast as they could in to the center of the pile.
I've been trying hard lately to live in the moment with my kids. I feel like I always tell them "no" or "maybe another day" and sometimes forget that the little moments such as these are what bring kids joy.

Ah, to be young again and see the fun in leaves. Scott and I spent the entire day outside yesterday raking and mowing a whole horse trailer full of leaves, I kept telling myself, yes I really do love my trees. Scott had the chainsaw in the back of the truck and after 4 hours, it was tempting to cut them all down. haha Missed you on saturday, so sad the kids were sick. Hope they are feeling better. love ya
Your kids are gorgeous, just like you and DJ. Wow! Not only are they cute but they are nice, talented, sweet, helpful and sometimes just like mine, stinks! :) I love them!
I can understand the wanting to live in the moment. One of my kids asked me to do something the other day and I told them the standard, "We'll see". They walked away grumbling,"that always means no." So I am trying to turn that around and surprize them and actually do some of the things they want to do, when they want to do it. But it's hard!
Bless you for giving them moments of joy even in the midst of all you've had "on your plate". You're a great mom and I'm blessed that you're my daughter.
...And, too bad we don't live closer because we have a whole backyard full of leaves to jump in!
Good for you. Enjoy the moment because they grow all too fast. Love the pictures. Sorry the kids are sick.
