Fall Fling

a majority of time this fall was spent day dreaming about a late october trip back to the most bueatiful and magical valley ridge situated in rural sw wisconsin...just under an hour west of madison...but seemingly so so far away from our everyday lives......here is a peek from across the valley:

since this post is so delinquent ao I will leave you with a few pictures of our journeys....although the pictures do not capture the cherished times had when we (kim, laura, jane, trish and beth) have when together.

It's been a while.....

While I have a lot to catch up on in blogland, I decided to start off with today and then I can fill in the last month a bit later........Today was Alexander's baptism ...he was such a good boy, hardly a peep throughout mass. Unfortunately, we did not have our camera to get a single shot. Later this afternoon, we had a get together with Sharon to do some collage work.....we spent several hours, had a bit of pizza and came away with the following creations.......

kim's creation of the day:

and mine:

I am pretty happy with my first collage effort but it was not without a little help from sharon and kim....all in all a full day.
