a bite

Received a letter yesterday from a subsidy of the Macmillian publishing company saying they'd like to see a copy of my book for consideration! its been sooo quiet on all the various book fronts i got going on i was feeling discouraged. and right now in my life, this little bit of encouragement is so appreciated! God's timing is perfect. :) and while i know they may decide not to publish it, at least a copy has been requested! so exciting!

sharing

Ah...finally got 3 rolls of film developed because i'm so old school and w/ my old school camera i scored some pretty cool pics when it decided to cooperate, so i'm sharing cause i'm proud. :) (izsak says i should take pics for natl geographic...ah. isn't he sweet?) ps--ryenn just held up the developed film and asked "what's this?" :)

mt pisgah

So. We went to Mt. Pisgah, which i don't think is really a mt. for a hike on sunday w/ our friends carl and michelle and their dogs dakotah and bixie (leo is not as well trained and due to lack of energy lately dealing w/ him and hiking would've been too much for me)

Izsak was given full reign of the camera at one point. just guess which pics are his...

Izsak wanted ryenn to pose like they're throwing spears, she had other ideas. :)

It was a gorgeous fall day and perfect for a hike. So glad we did it.

The following is a pic of ryenn in our bkyd....she has taken to this spot to just sit and look at the sky and feel the native clover underneath her. couldn't resist taking some pics of her one day.. enjoy this one. :)
