An Autumn Walk................

Dan got home early and it was such a nice day we decided to go for a walk. Tristen was ready to go. We went to the park but decided to walk rather than let him play first. He needed the exercise, me too. He was off at a run.

The ponds were perfect reflections of the woods and things around us

There were plenty of ducks around, doing ducky things

A few other critters too.

The sand was a little slick in his Spiderman shoes.

............and I did tell him not to run down hill. He did a face plant at the bottom and got sand in his eyes..........

Or was it from rolling in it earlier?

Meanwhile the ponds looked beautiful and calm even with Tristen there, well, maybe because his cohort Reina was not?

And then he was off to the playground, but we were all tired by then so it did not take too much to get him back to the car and off home. For a nap.

You are sure a good "mom" to Tristen I can tell that you love him and he so needs you in his life-someone to protect him and see him through all the steps of his boyhood. You have a lot on your plate but I do believe that God doesn't give us more then we can bear. He has been entrusted to you for a reason...but you know that.

Blessings to you- I think you should have napped with him. He is really a darling little boy. xo Diana

All the pictures are lovely but the last one is adorable! He's such a handsome child and what could be sweeter than him curled up sleeping on your lap!

Beautiful pictures. I swear Tristen gets bigger in each post! He is a very good looking boy.

He is growing up fast and they have so much energy, looks like you needed a nap too.
