Fall evenings...

Boy it's nice outside this time of year!  We spend a lot of evenings outside because Mark starts to get grumpy during that time of day.  If we're outside, he's better.  All my kids have loved being outside.  Merril and I love to be outside too.  Maybe because I feel closer to God.  A neighbor once said she's never seen anyone outside more.  While I was loving the evening air, I snapped some photos.

Mikayla and Luke love to drive the Jeep.  Luke is kind of crazy on that thing.  We make sure to watch out for toes.

I love what a good little thing Mark has turned out to be.  Not that he was ever a bad baby.  We're coming up on his 1st birthday and babies just get a lot easier after that for me.  He's finally crawling like a regular baby instead of army crawling.  I doubt he'll be walking earlier than the other kids but you never know.  Hopefully he'll let me keep squeezing him for a little while longer!
