Taking a deep breath

I realized last week that I have neglected taking pictures of our Jake this fall. October was the busiest month ever and I'm so glad its finally November and I can take a deep breath. I was out of town three of the four weekends in October and Jake has been a sport about traveling and being dragged on my countless errands this last month. Seriously, this month my goal is rest and not to over schedule our lives. We need some good family time with the three of us to rejuvenate. Ty has been very busy remodeling our downstairs. We've enclosed our dining room with french doors to make it Ty's new office because the office upstairs will be Jake's new room when Grace comes. Ty's also painted the office and hallway and had the living room and stairway painted. Next, he started taking up the tile downstairs for new flooring. He has worked non-stop for the last few weeks on weekends and after work and needs to rest as well! We're just waiting now for the flooring company to come next week and finish the floors and we'll have almost a new house!
I'm going to work on remembering Psalm 46:10 this next month: "Be still and know that I am God" and slow down and enjoy being Jake's mom! In the spirit of that, here are some cute candid pictures of Jake I took in his overalls and cowboy boots. Here's Jake at 21 months:
