A lot of my posts are vacation fun but our fall was really hard. School was hard. Work was hard. Life was hard. John and I were traveling a lot. William's classes and extracurriculars schedule combined with a growth spurt were draining him. John's extended travel included him receiving the news of his mother's passing while en route to Budapest.
We found joy in watching William and his teammates enjoy their time on the court.
We found joy in Lucy, who never loses her loving spirit.
We found joy in early morning sunrises.
We found joy in the beautiful leaves in our neighborhood, a former nursery.
We found joy in an extended pool season swimming through the last weekend in October.
We found joy seeking out the Northern Lights from our front yard and sort of almost seeing them through the camera (of which I can't seem to find a photo).
We found joy in flipping on the Christmas lights.
