Munchkin and I like the way this impromptu picture turned out even if it isn’t “perfect”. It just seems to capture her at this point in time. We can’t decide which edit we like best on it. I am so grateful for this sweet young lady.

This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have…

The housing office in base housing offers kids the opportunity to come to the “pumpkin patch” and pick out a pumpkin. Usually, we seem to miss out on the best pumpkins, but this year, the pumpkin patch opened the day of D’s surgery. One of the things that I did to keep Munchkin busy was to take her over to pick out her pumpkin. She was pretty excited that she was able to get a really nice pumpkin. We have a good bit of fun carving pumpkins around our house. This year was the first time in an extremely long…
