Happy Fall!!!

What a wonderful fall! I feel like I have so much to write about..so many blessings and adventures have come our way over the past few months that I simply haven't had time to write about, so here is an attempt to summarize the Olson family fall so far (in 10 easy steps:) (not necessarily in chronological order)...pictures and all!

1. We took our first family camping trip to the North Shore and Jonas loved it...sleeping in the tent, gorgeous fall colors, hiking the Superior Hiking Trail, campfires, and, of course, Lake Superior itself:) He slept through the night both nights... The fresh air is good for the soul---young and old!

2. We moved! Thanks to the dedication of some family members ...yay!

We love our new place:)

3. We love Door County and found this amazing spot deep in the woods near Fish Creek with a carpet of orange leaves...we hung out there for awhile just soaking in the beauty! We also got to spend the weekend with the greatest family in the world,.. I might add:)

4. Jonas was a pea pod for Halloween and sported the cute costume at Uncle David's jazz band concert.

5. I learned how to hem pants, sow on a button (so that it will actually stay) and fix holes in jeans...my mentor group from church had a mending day where we all got together and ate yummy baked goods, chatted and sowed... (mainly our husband's clothes:)

6. Spent time with wonderful friends!!! Jonas loves meeting new people, so it makes it fun to travel and to have people over:)

7. I turned 25...look at that glow...so many candles! 1 quarter of a century...when does all that wisdom that comes with age start to blossom?) My mom made my favorite cake-red velvet:)

8. We love our new small group...there are 6 young couples and 5 of the 6 have baby boys...11 months and under...what lively evenings to say the least! Jonas loves going to see all his buddies!

9. I went to Kansas with my dear college women for a little reunion in the Great Plains! (old picture because we are so cute and because my camera was broken when I was down there!)

10. Jonas voted! I hope you enjoyed that synopsis...we love you all and look forward to the wonderful season ahead!! (Even though I miss the warmth and the sunshine terribly!)
