Pheasant Fields Farm

Well here we are.  It was a bit of a ruff start, but what days aren't.  And that's ok.  Because we pulled through and made it.  And i'm starting to be ok with ruff starts.  They're part of our day and bring out that part of us that needs the most love. And your thinking, gosh Kim don't be such a downer.  But really somedays that's just how it is.  It didn't take long for the kids to start pushing the pumpkins down the hill.  Not on purpose, of course, but just to move the ones out of the way that we didn't want.  Right...I chased 3 runaway pumpkins within the first 4 minutes that we where there. But hey that's just how we roll...



And if I focus on the ruff starts then I'll miss the moments that keeps us wanting more.  Because these two love each other and I want more of that!




 




Oh this picture...truly was a miracle. The guy on the tractor took it.  One shot...and the dude got it!


And though this wasn't Silas's best day, we loved him extra and let him pick out the biggest pumpkin he could find. And boy it can hard to love my kids one their worst days.  But I can't live for the big moments, it's the million billion small moments that add up.  And he'll be 16 or 22 or 30 and I'll want my heart to have loved all those small moments that nobody see's. 




I think this was there just for him.  And he needed it...







And I tried so hard to get them all looking at the photo. But we didn't get that.  We got real kids with real faces and real wiggles. 



Here's to a new week.  They will cry and probably so will I.  They'll be frustrate and so will I.  They'll need the gospel love in their heart's and so will I.  But were all in it together and I'm gonna make the most of every small moment I can.
