October was a good month.

Fall was in full force which made my heart feel so happy. I absolutely LOVE Fall.

We were able to make our annual Maplewood State Park trip, which is where these pictures were taken. I LOVE going to Maplewood to marvel in the beauty of Fall, the colors, the changing of seasons...it all make me so happy.

~Steven was busy getting ready to open a new store this month, so he was gone more often than normal. We are thankful for his hard work, the fact that he has a job and that he is successful and we are very thankful when he returns home too.

~Abram had a birthday on October 27 and turned SIX!?

I am still trying to process where the time went, wasn't he just my baby last week?!?!

He had a small birthday party at our home.

He loves low key, small scale events and the fewer the people, the better.

~Ethan finished football mid October and I was actually sad to be done with it.

He loved it, learned and improved so much.

Steven and I took Ethan to a Third Day concert in Fargo. Like his parents, he LOVES music and loves having some special time with just us. We really had a great time with him.

Halloween, can't forget this day.

Ethan was a dead/zombie/weird football player and Abram was a swamp monster.

~I got to get away for a few days over MEA weekend and attend Women of Faith. This is the 3rd year I've gone with my girls. It's a wonderful event, uplifting and refreshing. I think all moms/wives/women should attend this! Praising God, shopping, eating great food, laughing, staying up too late...it's all so worth the way I feel when I return home to my family.

We were blessed with mostly good health this month too. I got a small cold and lost my voice for a few days, but thankful I was the ONLY one to get it and it was gone in 10 days. October was a fun, good month for us. Looking forward to finishing the year with the holidays, my most favorite time of the year. Blessings~
