Boyd Orchards

We had some fall fun yesterday at Boyd Orchards, near Versailles (pronounced vur SAYLs). My favorite treat were the iced pumpkin donuts. YUM.

Kentucky Rain

We have had several downpours today. During one, Jane and Ann could not help themselves, and scurried out the front door together to splash. Cate watched reluctantly in her leotard for awhile, then put on her rain boots and joined the fun.

I finally dragged Ann in, soaking wet, with mud on her hands and face, and a full diaper. She was giggling and shivering at the same time.

New Dining Room Table

One thing Matt and I really enjoy is shopping for furniture. On a missionary budget, we certainly don't buy a whole lot, but we have accumulated some nice pieces that we plan to use for the rest of our marriage, mostly thanks to gift money from relatives, especially my grandparents, the late Al Ariniello and Mary. So here is our long-awaited dining room table, the Farmhouse Table from Ethan Allen. We will pray for Grandpa and Nanny when we share meals around it. The black ladderback chairs are the ones we purchased with the table. The pink chairs are always a conversation piece - they were in my mom's parents' (Roxie and Tom Podhaisky) kitchen. They are so durable, and so pink...
