Apple Picking

I have been MIA for awhile ... just trying to get adjusted to living in the Midwest again .... job hunting and getting the kids started in school. This year we have a Senior, Sophomore, 8th, 5th, 4th
and two 3rd graders!
 Today was the first day I really felt like it was "Fall" .... cool crisp breeze in the air and
bright blue skies.

After we picked up the kids from school the younger 4 went out to the backyard to pick apples ... we are going to make some apple pies tomorrow .... How much fun is that! It was so neat to see the kids get the connection of picking fruit from a tree and making something yummy from it :) They also snuck a few apples today for a snack!
