fall pics

here are some apple picking pics from a few weeks ago.  we went apple picking in amesbury, ma with our church to cider hill farms.  we've had several apple crisps, apple pies, apple turnovers, etc since the hernandez' went apple picking two weeks after we went.  it was 80 degrees when we went so it wasn't really a true new england apple picking experience.  but she'll have plenty of future opportunities to have that experience.

the sweater eventually comes off since it was so hot.

the hat didn't last long.

in an effort to assist those with google reader who can determine if the blog entry is worth reading from the title, i am going to separate out this major update into several posts.  this way you can pick what you "have time" to read now and come back and read the rest later....or just read it all now.

here are a few videos of recent events.

love this song...tenth avenue north - by your side

listen here

Why are you striving these days

Why are you trying to earn grace

Why are you crying

Let me lift up your face

Just don't turn away 

 

Why are you looking for love

Why are you still searching

as if I'm not enough

To where will you go child

Tell me where will you run

To where will you run 

 

And I'll be by your side

Wherever you fall

In the dead of night

Whenever you call

And please don't fight

These hands that are holding you

My hands are holding you 

 

Look at these hands and my side

They swallowed the grave on that night

When I drank the world's sin

So I could carry you in

And give you life

I want to give you life

 

And I'll be by your side

Wherever you fall

In the dead of night

Whenever you call

And please don't fight

These hands that are holding you

My hands are holding you

 

And I'll be by your side

Wherever you fall

In the dead of night

Whenever you call

And please don't fight

These hands that are holding you

My hands are holding you

 

 Cause I, I love you

I want you to know

That I, I love you

I'll never let you go

 

And I'll be by your side

Wherever you fall

In the dead of night

Whenever you call

And please don't fight

These hands that are holding you

My hands are holding you

 

And I'll be by your side

Wherever you fall

In the dead of night

Whenever you call

And please don't fight

These hands that are holding you

My hands are holding you
