Grandma & Grandpa's House

We spent a couple weekends with my parents at their house in Rome this month. It is such a beautiful place and Carter loves it there. He spent about 90% of his days in the pool with Grandma and the other 10% riding the tractor outside with Grandpa.  We had the best time.  We fed the neighbor's horses, walked around, watched football, ate outside, looked at the stars at night... and Micah had his first dip in the pool.  He also napped with a sweet yellow keepsake baby blanket that my great aunt knit for my mom when she was having babies.  The weather this time of year was a perfect early fall temperature. There is a huge Ash tree toward the back of their yard right next to a small stream.  Carter loves swinging and throwing the rope around underneath its branches.  Its probably my favorite place to photograph him.  I don't know for how long my parents will live there but, while they do, we are treasuring our visits and the blessing that it is. I know we will love to look back on these photos someday.

But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,

whose confidence is in Him.

They will be like a tree planted by the water

that sends out its roots by the stream.

It does not fear when heat comes;

its leaves are always green.

It has no worries in a year of drought

and never fails to bear fruit. 

Jeremiah 17:7-8
