thanksgiving morning
it is so beautiful and misty and lovely =)
we got up and had our green shakes and bagels...
and then played in the hay...making a great big house to play in =)
and took hot baths....
cooked some pumpkin soup and pumpkin pie (slightly burned around the edges =))
...
and now about to pile on the bed and read until time to head to my brother's house for thanksgiving!
so so lovely!
we are so very blessed....
we've decided to hang around a bit more this week and then head to columbus...and i'm glad...
we need a little rest and recoup i think!~

a band of 2
this weather has been irresistibly wonderful...
it is no wonder why i like the fall so much =)
both josh and i the past couple days have found it a bit hard to focus...
the wedding preparation was such a marathon of sorts...and now that it is over, i can't seem to find the steam to run these other "little" races like packing up the house and finishing off projects....
josh starts work on monday in columbus and i think we are just going to all head down there (to a cabin our friends are wonderfully letting us stay at until we find a place!!!)
the kids and i can rest and play on the river(it is on the flint river) while josh is at academy and then we can hear first hand how his days are going....
we will have lots of folks in and out anyway over the next couple weeks finishing up the house...so it will be a good time to not be around...
thanksgiving tomorrow! we have so much to be thankful for!

kory...
and adam and kelley have been awesome...helping to clear up, build and pack a bit...
yesterday kory hung out here and helped with all sorts of stuff...
i cooked a pumpkin soup, a pumpkin pie and then a great big pumpkin muffin in a pot (i packed the muffin tins)
and we roasted some seeds...the kids love them bc they "taste like popcorn"
josh decided it would be fun to jump off the porch =)
and promptly grazed the large tree =)
he's fine =)

cleaning up =)
jack's coop preschool came out on monday...so sweet...they made him a shirt with all their handprints!
and then played and made hay houses...
tonight we read the 3 little pigs...old fashioned style =)
where foxes hurl insults about grinding their bones and foxes also get scalded to death
yikes!
no holding back here! but jack enjoys them and always tells me it is pretend and that in fact he likes foxes very much =)

so many sweet and wonderful faces
tonight we had the going away party....really just a chance to see so many people we love and will miss dearly by not living here anylonger..
i remembered my camera towards the end of the evening so only captured a few faces....
and i sat around the fire while friends played such good music and it all just sort of came on me...that we are really leaving!
i couldn't help but cry a bit...a mixture i think of exhaustion from the weekend and the realization that now we set ourselves towards new place....a new world for us....
we are so very grateful for all the joy and friendship we have found here in athens...and will sorely miss it...
thank you so very much!
