Sister Day

Hannah and I had a much needed sister day on Saturday. She drove through Pittsburgh construction bright and early, and we pretty much laughed our way through the day.

We did some crafting, pet sitting, attended a craft fair, drank coffee, and I practiced my photography on Hannah. The weather was perfect for a little photoshoot!

I ended the day feeling so happy. I’m continually thankful that God has blessed me with Hannah as my sister. Even if she wasn’t my sister, I’d still choose her as my best friend 🙂

Some pictures from the day…

And, just for good measure, we filmed a vlog! We became more and more silly as the day wore on 😉

Do you have a sibling (or siblings) that you get really goofy with?

Wreaths and star gazing

Thank you to everyone who commented on my last post. I love when we all open up about things that aren’t discussed in the “blog world” a lot. Woo hoo!

Last weekend, I did two things I’ve never done before: I made a wreath, and I star gazed. Yay for trying new things 🙂

In May, Jimmy’s brother and I each pitched in money and bought Jimmy a telescope for his birthday. He brought his telescope over to my house on Friday night, and Hannah joined us while we looked at the moon and stars.

We (and by “we” I mean Jimmy..) set up the telescope on my family’s pool deck because it’s about ten feet off the ground.

I don’t know how Hannah wore a t-shirt! It was in the 40s… brrr.

It was pretty crazy to be so far away from the moon, and then look inside the lens of the telescope and see moon craters in vivid detail. God is amazing.

On Saturday, my mom and I created autumn wreaths!

I told her to smile, and she stuck out her tongue instead.

It was a lot of fun to celebrate fall by making wreaths, and it was even more fun to spend time with my mom. I found the craft/instructions here. I highly recommend it–my mom and I aren’t super crafty, and we both agreed that it was pretty simple!

How do you celebrate the fall season?
