Another Quote

So...just moments ago Caleb came up to me, with a wand in his hand, and told me that he was going to marry me when he gets bigger. I just love being a mom.
It also made me realize how lucky I am to have such an amazing-Godly husband who has given me this gift to stay home with our children. Though it can be exhausting...it is worth every minute. I love you so much honey!

Stuckey's Farm




So we decided to go someplace different this year to get our pumpkins. We wanted to enjoy nature and the beautiful weather without all the "hoopla". We took a private ride on a Gator out to the pumpkin patch and then walked through the apple orchards picking apples. We all love apples, but Abby was in hog heaven. She is an apple fanatic right now so it was priceless to see her face as she couldn't get enough apples.

These are the moments that I cherish with my family. God is good!

Russell Farm



Today began our first journey into the Pumpkin Patches for the fall. Every year EUMC-Preschool takes their first field trip to Russell Farm. Caleb had a great time hanging out with friends, but as you can see he has a "best friend" ...Mark. It was fun to watch them interact today together. They became friends the first day and have been inseparable since. They are always looking out for each other, even holding hands and making sure that the other is not too far from view. What a pure joy to watch. I have prayed since Caleb was a baby for the friends that God would bring his way. I pray now for this relationship... praise God for friends.

Having Fun with Mom





We have had fun at home making "Gooey" Playdough, painting our paper pumpkins and creating our own wonderful webs with glue and glitter. It was awesome just to watch the kids interact during the activities. Caleb always wanted to make sure Abby had everything. He also wanted to be just like his sister...when they picked certain colors etc. out. I pray for their relationship every single day, and it has been cool to see God forming it in front of my eyes.
