Me & My Shadow

We had a nice walk in the beautiful weather today and some fun with shadows along the way...

Happy Fall!

Good Monday Morning everyone! Thanks for reading our Blog. We have had a good time putting it together. I hope you all had a great weekend! We started our Saturday off with a great soocer game - the first of the season for the Red Fireballs and the first career game for Coach B. I am proud to say that the Fireballs are an undisputed 1-0 for the season. Enjoy the beautiful and cool weather this week!

Also, please join us in praying for the family of the pilot, father and son who were killed in the plane crash at the air show this weekend. We actully saw the plane go down but did not find out until hours later that there were fatalities. We don't know them, but can only imagine the loss that these two families must be facing.

Day at Nannie and Pop's

We enjoyed a fun day at Nannie and Pop's today! I don't know who enjoys the tractor ride more- the kids or Pop! Nannie threw W a few pitches and I worked the outfield, but he says he won 12-1 against us. They finished the visit with a little music on the piano. We love you Nan & Pop! Thanks for lunch!

Kindergarten Update!

W started K5 in August and we are having a great time homeschooling. Our biggest worry was whether we would find new friends to play with as most of his buddies are in school all day. We miss them all so much! However, W is quickly forming new friends that are homeschooling too. K never meets a stranger and has not had a minutes trouble meeting new friends. W loves going to computer class on Wednesdays and he is so glad that soccer is finally starting up. K is great and participates in Bible and science lessons with us. She does her own workbook while W does math. She plays on her own (usually dress up) while W has his reading lesson. Not a day goes by that I do not realize how blessed I am to be able to teach them at home and enjoy being with them. I guarantee that I learn more than they do on any given day! It has also been awesome to be in the background as they make up new games and "tending" (pretending) together. K has an unbelievable imagination while W is more of a realist like me :), so he really benefits from her creative play. It is true that the house never really gets cleaned the way I would like and if it does it certainly doesn't stay that way for long! But I have found peace about that in realizing that there are things in life that are not worth the risk of missing out on for the sake of a clean house. I can't thank B enough for being such a kind, supportive and patient husband in this journey we have begun! I have never done anything close to deserving a man like him!

Hebrews 13:5-6

Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."
So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?"

Weekend at the Beach

We visited Gulf Shores last weekend as a special treat for PaPaw's and MaMaw's birthday. Aunt L came with us too. The weather was perfect and we all had a great time. W said his favorite thing about the trip was the elevator, but I think it was probably the pools.
