Count Your Many Blessings or Just Look Outside

This is our daily view as we drive to work/school/activities/church right now. Every morning it looks a little different depending on the light. I love the fall.

The Flu Shot

I took the kids to get their annual flu shot today. It would have taken about 30 seconds to vaccinate us all except Em decided she didn't want a flu shot and put her arms in her shirt and doubled over into a ball. I put her on my lap, moved her arm out, told the nurse to go ahead.  She was NOT happy (Em, not the nurse). After it was over she looked at me with this sheepish look like "...mom that didn't hurt". I took her out of that room and told her if she ever wanted to be free from being grounded for an eternity, she'd better go and apologize to that nurse. Right Now. She did and was spared from punishment.

Brax watched the whole thing unfold with unsuppressed humor.

Time to go take new photos! I took this one last year up at Aspen Grove, almost at the end of the season. It is such a beautiful place. I love this time of year.
