Natural light, backyard fun and lisa leonard designs

I love shooting in natural light.

Duke's growing like crazy.  He's already close to 40 lbs.

 

A shot of one corner of the dining room.  I love our new paint colour (Benjamin Moore's Taos Taupe if you're interested).

And finally, an open circle bracelet from lisa leonard designs.  She does beautiful work.  She's also a great photographer, and has a fun and inspirational blog I'm now following.  You can check out her blog by clicking on the link on the right side of my blog.  Thanks again Lisa, I absolutely love the bracelet! 

these make me smile

Flowers left at our doorstep from Mike's sister.  She's done this a few times now - it's such a nice surprise!

 

Hunter's smile - always makes me smile.  :)

 

Happy Halloween

Bindertwine Park

We took a stroll through Bindertwine Park in Kleinburg yesterday.  We used to take Spencer there for walks, and wanted to introduce Duke to it.  It was such a beautiful day.

Taking a rest at the end of our walk.

Hunter taking a rest.

I love this shot (Hunter captured this photo). 

Andrew's Scenic Acres

I accompanied Hunter on his first school trip last week to Andrew's Scenic Acres.  He had a great time and brought home a pumpkin, a gourd and some great stories for daddy.

This guy was ready for the photo shoot.

They took us through a maze.  Hunter held my hand because I was so scared.

harvest table and chairs

Our new table from the Muskoka Store.  They really need to update their website.  Perhaps I should offer to do it in exchange for more furniture.  :)

I picked up these chairs at a place called Halton Homestead in Hornby, ON.  If you're ever looking for Mennonite furniture, go and ask for Margaret.  They have beautiful pieces, and it was a pleasure to meet Margaret.

 

 

Butterfly kisses

We celebrated Mike's birthday yesterday.   29 years young ..  plus a few more.

Butterfly kisses on the cake from Abby.

Fall foliage

So much to be thankful for ..

We spent Thanksgiving at the cottage this year.  It was a gorgeous weekend, with a bit of spring, fall and winter mixed together.  The snow fell on Sunday but didn't last long. 

I love the colors this time of year.

 

 

 

 

Duke blends right in with the pine needles.
