There are many more things to be thankful for this week.

Another Botanical Gardens trip, this time with Dad, uncle, and cousins! There was a great leaf monster.

Silvereye finches flitting through dead corn stalks.

Nate comforting Bill.

Bill toddling in rain in outdoor suit, rain coat and gum boots.

Brown Winter Cole pears from Geeveston in a yellow fruit bowl.

Gratitude that comes whenever I did into a box of hand me downs and realise how much money and trouble they have saved us.

Nate old enough for autumn leaf rubbings.

Chance to purchase glitter and messy fun had with it creating shapes and sea scene.

Sunset clouds shining through yellow birch leaves.

Watching a flock of birds alight over Browns river.

Public parks.

Sharing the observation of new birds with the children.

The brothers had a photo taken together on a trip to the Botanical Gardens. Nate was excited about these photos, asking for one of him with Billy.

It is fun to have elaborate box constructions like this one on the play mat in the living room. Great to see what a small boy can turn blocks into, isn't it? This construction is "Jack the taxi" from the library book.

I'll finish with some more pictures of our trip yesterday to the Botanical Gardens. This trip was an answer-to-prayer gift that was just what we needed to refresh us and help us out of some temptations we were facing. You know the kind of temptations to anger, provoking one another, etc. that can be helped in some fresh air in a beautiful place!

Watching Bill run around remains a cute and fun novelty. He makes us laugh and rejoice! Bill was 15 months on Monday.

In an attempt to revitalise some relaxing pursuits, I am aiming to return to iSonto in a simplified form. It will be focused on things to be thankful for from the previous week. So expect another one in your inbox one Wednesday :).
