Fall is in the air!

Where has the last few weeks gone?  It seems like the first few weeks of school is always the hardest- striving to do the best in the classroom, trying to set a new routine, tweaking things for the new year and of course the exhaustion of getting back into the swing of things!  

We have been celebrating at our house as well!  The youngest just turned two and the oldest is getting ready to be four Friday!  We celebrated with family and friends with a joint birthday party last night- we did a Cars theme and had a great time!  (Although I am going to stay off Pinterest for their party next year, simple may be better ;)). 

This time of year marks another celebration and milestone in our family- the two year anniversary of the scariest moments of our married life as we almost lost our 9 day old baby- in someways I celebrate his survival more than his birth and am humbled by God's healing grace!  

(More on his story to come- I want to dedicate a post to how we see God each and every day!)

Okay- enough of the rambling but it is good to post again--- I promised a dear friend I would share a cake recipe, so be on the lookout for this knockout of a fall dessert!

Blessings!
