Our Joshua so loved my raking up the leaves & then he would jump in, rustle them all around, come up for air & giggle 'do it again, Mini!'

This event would go on for a very long time ... sometimes the dogs would join in on the fun, jumping all around as Joshua would call to them, giggling as they romped with him.

Love the crunchy, rustling sounds ...



Then it would be time for Poppy to do the 'burn', so Joshua would get his little rake & help gather the leaves up to put on the fire. That warm aroma of the 'burn' lingering in the crisp fall air ... Occasionally, we would roast a marshmallow over the open fire, which delighted Joshua to no end.


Oh, those darling giggles of glee still echo in our minds & hearts, as
we recall these precious moments.


Then we'd come in & have fresh baked cookies & hot chocolate to warm
his wee chilled hands,snuggle in the air & read his books ...





Recently Joshua brought up his memories of these fun moments ... I was so surprised at how early he captured memories. When he said he 'recalled & enjoyed these moments' we 3 had together, it brought tears to my eyes & my heart was so filled with love ... how sweet our lives are ... treasured times for he, & us, to share with his children one day.

Love you Joshua. How blessed we are ...
