I woke up in the middle of the night sick, so today’s photo is totally lame. I spent my day alternating between the bed and the couch, so please forgive me.
I planned to take a photo more like this one, taken yesterday.

It was kind of an icky day here. It didn’t stop raining until after dark. And then it was only 40 degrees out. Brrr.

On top of that, a certain littlest man is sick. And someone else was exhausted.

And, we’re more than halfway done with the month of October… I’m not sure I’m ready for what that means. Winter is coming.

I wanted to capture something that I value as truly necessary– clean water, healthy food, warm clothes. There are so many things we often forget are luxuries; we don’t really NEED them.
This is just a photo of a boy and his dad, one of countless photos like it. But, it’s a reminder to me about one of the most important things we need and what this blog is really all about: Family.
