Life Is Good

This past Sunday afternoon as Jennie was heading out the door she announced that the Sunday evening meal was going to be cereal. I was a little bummed out until a few hours later when I was shoveling Frankenberry into my face.

It was a fun dinner. The kids were excited because we usually don't get the unhealthy cereals and also, for years, I'd described to them my favorite childhood cereal: Count Chocula. Even Jennie was mildly amused, enjoying her crunchy treat (likely well coated with non-nutritive cereal varnish). On bowl two, as I was finishing up the Count Chocula induced chocolaty milk, I was thinking about enjoying life and God's blessings.

Here are a few ...

* Count Chocula and Frankenberry.

* The Red Sox winning their division.

* The Red Sox ending the season with a better record than the Yankees.

* The Red Sox making the playoffs.

* Cool weather and fall football.

* Watching Josh enjoy fall football, pre-game jitters and all.







* Watching Hannah cheer for her brother and finding her niche in the 'heavy lifting' department.











* Enjoying a beautiful fall day at the farm.

* Enjoying Caleb enjoying Prophet.


* Finding solitude in the woods and communing with God on a cool fall night.
