Pumpkin Spice Latte

Fall is in the air and today I had my first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the season!! It was a great treat and did wonders for giving a good kick to the work day! With the coming of a new season brings a reflection of that which is just past. We had a very full summer with all of my family living under one roof. Thanks to my parents for building a big enough house to hold us all! My sister Bethany was home for 6 weeks from Cairo, Egypt and my sister and brother in law, Joelle and Steven were back from Quy Nhon, Vietnam for about 2 1/2 months. My brother Will lives at home right now and works with my dad doing construction and remodeling. What a blessing it has been to be on the same continent for awhile.
Everyone is back in their respective countries now and we are getting ready for the transition back to school for Seth and back to preschool for Isaiah. Seth's mom comes next week from Colorado for a visit to help us kick off the new season and we are looking forward to that time! Here are a few pictures from the summer. More can be found on our Picasa Web Album-the link is on the right.

Sounds like you guys had a great summer. So great that you were able to spend time with every member of your family--such a blessing. :) It's always bittersweet to enter a new season--saying good buy to the old one, but looking forward to a new routine. Hoping and praying it's a smooth start for you.
