Rain, Rain, Go Away

This is the view out of our back slider. The water is creeping closer and closer. We are praying that we are able to keep our basement water free. What a mess!

Happy Holidays

This has been a pretty great holiday season so far. One day Trey told us that Christmas was about toys, not Jesus and I realized how much work we had ahead of us. We got a really great book about Mary and Joseph and how baby Jesus was born. It is very rewarding to see your child start to love the Lord. It melts my heart every night when he prays.

DaDa

Look who's crawling...

Yep, that's right our little Jase Aiden! I can't believe how quickly this last 7 months has gone. I think I am going to have my hands full with two busy little boys:) Thank You God for that!

PS...If you are wondering what is going on in the background. That is Scott with the Nerf gun. He loves it just as much as Trey.

Happy Halloween!

Hope everyone had a safe and Happy Halloween! We had much better timing this year trick or treating. We had a chance to see Jesse, Deanne, and Sadie and also Jon, Claudia, and Constance who we normally miss. Even if it was only a few minutes it was nice to see the kids dressed up. Here are some pictures of the kids.

Pumpkin Carving

This weekend we carved pumpkins. Trey did not like pulling out the pumpkin guts. He said it was "disgusting". We even washed the seeds and baked them for daddy.
