This darling girl, Katy.

I met this lovely fairly recently, and she is a treasured soul.
We spent the afternoon eating Chinese, listening to the rain on the roof, watching Charade, and soaking in the coziness of this lazy fall day.
Singing harmony, being barefoot, and smiling eyes are three small joys that make her heart smile.



Meet Katy...

A frosty birthday eve.

I spent last night with the kiddos I nanny. They were still fast asleep when I got up this morning, so I snuck outside to steal a few photos of the sunrise - winter has some of the most beautiful! Everything glittered and there was chilly bite to the air.
Although it's not technically winter yet, it most definitely felt like it when I stepped outside barefoot! I am considering it to now be the official start to Christmastime! I usually try to hold off on the Christmas music until Thanksgiving Day, but this year I just couldn't help myself. :)

Psalm 121

I will lift up my eyes to the mountains;
From where shall my help come?
My help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.
He will not allow your foot to slip;
He who keeps you will not slumber.
Behold, He who keeps Israel
Will neither slumber nor sleep.


The Lord is your keeper;
The Lord is your shade on your right hand.
The sun will not smite you by day,
Nor the moon by night.
The Lord will protect you from all evil;
He will keep your soul.
The Lord will guard your going out and your coming in
From this time forth and forever.
