Happy Fall!
















Happy fall! Amelia took her first trip to the pumpkin patch yesterday out in Franklin, TN. She slept the whole time. :) We got her her first pumpkin, a small baby one. It was great to be out and about, enjoying a warm sunny Sunday afternoon. (It's still pretty warm here). I do miss the apple orchards of Michigan. Apple picking, warm cider and fresh pumpkin donuts...I can't wait to take her when she's older. There's something about fall that makes life feel a little less hectic. Things tend to slow down and there's a sense of calm and a feeling of settling in. That feeling is magnified around this house since our doctor's visit last week. Everything seems different. We can really relax and not think about the "what's next" as far as her skin is concerned. God has given us that gift, and along with that gift, all the other worries in life don't seem so big anymore. I intend to hold onto that peace that has been granted as I continue to pray for guidance as a new parent...here we go!
I am thankful for this blog to be able to share with you the journey we've been on the past few months. This blog has been a great tool in so many ways. It has also allowed us to reach so many to ask for prayers and healing. I am in awe of the power of prayer.
I want to extend to you a few prayer requests...one for my young cousin Claudia who just underwent back surgery. Please pray for her pain and for quick recovery and total healing in the years to come.
And also for our good friend Tim Netsch's dad, Norval, who was recently diagnosed with Prostate cancer. If you could add him to your prayer lists...please pray for peace for he and his family during this time and of course for his healing. Thank you!
Enjoy this fall, take time to get to a pumpkin patch or an apple orchard with someone you love!
We love you.
Kim, Ford, & Amelia
