Oh the Fall Season how I adore you! Particularly the bite in the air that allows me to don my toque!
I love the verse in Ecclesiastes that talks about there being different seasons to life. This season whether you call in Fall, back to school, back to work etc... is a busy one for everyone I think. I don't do well with business... I get stressed out rather easily. I am trying to take it all in stride and realize that this is just a "season" and that it will slow down. But in the midst of all the business I am glad for evening walks and time spent with my family and friends! I just don't want to miss a minute of Rupert's precious little life and I want him to get to experience everything this beautiful world has to offer him. I think my biggest lesson this "season" will be how to prioritize my time and my life! I pray for God's help on this one because I don't think my priorities are always His priorities :D Although I can think of one priority that we share... he's cute and wears a toque.

He also likes to throw rocks...
And sit in trees...
And lift heavy objects...
And hug logs...
And wear bear sweaters...
And looks freakishly adorable while riding on his daddy's shoulders...
Did you figure out the priority that both God and I share? Oh you're so smart! haha. My prayer is that I don't get so busy with work, church, friends and activities that I miss the quiet little teachable moments that I have with my boy. I know they last only for a minute, and I don't want them to rush by!
Besides our beautiful evening walks, Fall has brought some rather fun activities for Rupe and I. Last time I posted about Gym Pals, which is AWESOME!!! But we have also been going to library time for babies which is also super fun. Although I think Rupert is at the top of the age range so he got a little fidgety towards the end. But there were stories, songs and bubbles to hold his ever changing attention. We went with our buddies Arden and her son Cason.

Rupert has also taken to playing dress up. His favorite thing to wear? Daddy's shirt. He found it in our room and tried to put it on saying "puh" (please). So I put him on and he proudly wore it for the evening, pointing to it whenever I asked him where daddy's shirt was.
Ok... so I posted some photos of Rupe at Neck Point park from last year... LOOK HOW CUTE HE WAS!!!!!!!!!! Well he's still cute, but a lot bigger, scroll down to see some photos of us there the other night! Crazy!
{Rupert strutting... I love catching expressions on him that I've never seen before. So cute!}
Well that's our intro to Fall... I'm so excited for all this season will bring!!!!!!
















...ah...If we obey what God asks us to do we get the moments...the hours & the days....So precious those walks...ah I wish I had the smarts that you folks have and had taken pictures too! ...love that one of him holding the log...concentration on his lip...and the last ....such focus!
ReplyDeleteLove the post honey, very special and precious! I pray God will continue to direct you and help you to prioritize. By the way, the verse from Eccles. is also your grandma's special scripture.
ReplyDeleteack....way too much Rupert cuteness going on here!!! I love comparison shots too, so thanks for that ;)
ReplyDeleteAs for the prioritize thing...so hard...a work in progress, right?
You are a wonderful momma to your little man!
Wow! What a difference a year makes. Rupert was so little! Love the bear shirt;) What boy doesn't need a bear shirt? Wishing we could don our toques together, get a Starbucks, and take our boys (and girl) to the beach. Love you!
