More Autumn Color!

Today, Brittany and I went into Beaverton/Hillsboro and did some shopping for winter. It was supposed to rain today. Ha! It was gorgeous! The colors of fall are popping out everywhere and I can't get enough of it! So, as soon as we got home, I didn't even unload the car. Instead, I grabbed my camera and started shooting. I didn't think the colors could get any prettier, but they have and I am in awe of God's creation.

Autumn Color 2008

Oh, how I love the colors of autumn. Once I get up close and personal, it just amazes me how beautiful and intense the colors are.

Birthday Bouquet

Brittany came home today with a beautiful bouquet of flowers from Matt. He had them delivered to her school and they brought them to her last class of the day. Needless to say, she felt pretty darned special.

Happy Birthday, Brittany!

Brittany turns 18 today! We've been celebrating for a week already, though. Last Tuesday, we went out to eat in Portland with Andy, Kelly and my mom to celebrate both Brittany's and Lamar's birthday. Then, Saturday, Brittany went out with some school friends for dinner and a movie. Last night, she had a bunch of friends from church come over for eats and games. That is what this collage is from. Of course, I have to say, "Where did the time go? Seems like yesterday..." That's just what mom's all over the world say when their babies grow up. (Notice the Cheetah t-shirt)

Our Tree Cat

In a recent post, I shared the story of our cat, Meeko, climbing a tree to get a mouse. And, I mentioned that Meeko is a tree-climbing cat even when he isn't after poor little cartoon-looking mice.


Today, we were getting the last of our apples and sure enough, he didn't disappoint. Up he went and settled in while we did all the work. He's such an entertaining kitty.
