Miscellaneous October

So I never got Ei's BD pictures posted, I told you I have trouble with the big events! So here are just a few random pictures.
If you can't read the shirt, it says "Genius in the making." He's taking after his mother - ha!




And our beautiful ballerina - she's taking lessons (and LOVES to twirl) but says it's soccer next time!

Oh No!

About a month ago, we were all home and heard a big BOOM! We went outside to see this . . . 2 doors down the house was on fire! Thankfully, the family of 4 wasn't home at the time. Their Golden Retriever Scout was though but eventually made it out safe - after he bit the fireman! It was an awful thing to watch - tragic, all possessions and a home lost . . . yet at the same time thankful that life was spared. It definitely puts things in perspective. The first words out of Eve's mouth "Mommy, what if our house burned down?" And the answer "If that happened, then God would take care of us." My Beth Moore Bible study on the book of Esther was just talking about that same thing: If anything (fill in your own worst nightmare), then God. We can't live in fear of what might happen - instead TRUST HIM if (or when) it does!






Eli's reaction pretty much sums it all up. Thoughts and prayers and community-wide help continue for this family.

Eli Turns Two!!

Here is Eli at his little birthday party at his school. Mommy brought M&Ms for a snack. We had the BIG birthday party the day before at Jump City. I'll get pictures from that up soon . . . well, as soon as I can.

Here is one of Eli's friends Sarabeth.



And Sawyer.



"Happy Birthday to You . . ." (It's hard to get 2 year olds to sing!)



Happy Birthday my sweet baby boy!! I love you!!

First Day Continued . . .

Showing off the lunch boxes

Eden and one of her teachers Mrs. Hope :)

And the BFF Rachel - thank goodness they are back together - it was a long summer apart!!

First Day of Grace Baptist Pre-school!!

Ok - so we had a little internet malfunction which delayed the posting of first day of pre-school for Eden and Eli, but we are back up and running now!! So August 17th Eden started in the 3yo class and Eli started in the 2yo class at Grace Baptist Pre-school. Eli was soooo excited to wear his "pack-pack." And they didn't cry at all - in fact, it was maybe a little too easy to leave Mom. Just kidding - I'm glad they love it!! Mommy and Daddy were just a little excited to have 4 hours without children too - we went on a lunch date!! Woo hoo!! Anyway, here are the pics . . . .

Rain, Rain Go Away . . .

Sorpresas!

Last week we went to Sorpresas! (which is apparently Spanish for Surprise!). It was a fun play date day before pre-school started. Here are a few pics . . .

I probably shouldn't mention that Mommy's legs were sore the next day from the teeter-totter. So out of shape it's embarrassing! But Mommy (re-) started Couch to 5K this week. Hopefully I'll make it past week 2 this time. Stay tuned for first day of pre-school pictures - yay!!
