Hot Air Balloons

On Saturday we awoke to a crisp, beautiful fall morning,
and spotted this hot air balloon just outside our back door.

It glided by in one direction, then dropped down and started drifting back the way it came.

 


Meanwhile, a second balloon appeared.

 


The two balloons proceeded to pass by each other, moving in opposite directions.
It was quite a remarkable sight!

 

The video below shows them in action…
along with Kara’s entertaining commentary.
You can even hear the flames of the nearest balloon. Enjoy! : )

Birthday Boy

Today was Luke’s 6th birthday!
We celebrated last night with a pirate ship birthday cake
and grilled cheeseburgers, at his request.

Oh boy, more Legos! : )


Happy Birthday, Luke William!
We love you so much and can’t believe you are in kindergarten
(and are enjoying every minute of it!)
You keep us on our toes and melt our hearts with that mischievous grin.
We are blessed and thankful to be your Mom & Dad.

It took almost a week for me to get the boxes of kitchen items unpacked and put away.
The very next day, Ryan and cousin Tyler quickly emptied the cabinets out again.
I couldn’t get either one to look at me for this picture… they were waaaay too busy! : )

We are so thankful to be moved and settling into our new home.
Hope you are able to come & visit us soon! : )
