We had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day. All of my family was able to be together at dad and mom's house.  We just had a wonderful time.  There was 20 people in all, 10 adults and 10 grandchildren.  My sons wanted to take the Wii, my brothers got hooked on that thing!!!  So funny to watch them.  They both are golf fanatics, so they kept playing Wii golf.  Aaron would beat Terroll, then Terroll would come back and beat Aaron.  Then they have to play again to break the tie.  I think some were nearly half way done eating by the time they finally came to get their plates of food.  I got the chance to sit down and play Euchre with my THREE brothers.  My brother-n-law Duane and I were partners taking on Aaron and Terroll.  We won both games!  They kept getting Euchred!  So funny, it happened at least three times, they'd call it and we end up with the tricks.  Hee hee hee.  So that was so fun.

God is so good to our family.  We have so much to be Thankful for.  The Lord will restore mom's health, and touch her body and heal her!  We are keeping mom lifted up in prayer, she returns to the doctor in two weeks to see what treatment, if any, she needs to begin.  This is round three with breast cancer, she's beat it twice.  PTL for healing her a third time! 

Aaron and his family will not be able to join us for Christmas.  But I'm already looking forward to celebrating the birth of Jesus with the rest of the family.  I'm sure you are looking forward to it too Wendy.....ohhh and WES too.  My goodness he's not been home for Christmas for 6 years??  Wow!
What a move you have to face!  You'll be in my thoughts and prayers....that would be hard to leave the work for the kingdom and loved ones behind.  PTL for technology, you will be able to keep in touch still.  Right?

Well tootles for now!  Lunch time is upon us now.  God Bless and hope to see you very soon!

Ah my baby has turned a year old now.  Wednesday, October 3rd Lydia Belle turned ONE!!!  :o(  sob sob my baby is growing up too quick!  DAY BEFORE her birthday she FINALLY decides to take off walking across the living room floor!  She is getting better and better everyday with walking.  So hilarious to watch, she'll be going  along and then bam just stop and wobble wobble catch her balance then wobble wobble some more.  Then usually take off again, sometimes PLOP on her booty she goes and then say "Ohhhhh".  With her little tiny lips all pursed.

Trajan and Corbin, ah my twin second graders.  Boys' flag football season ended on the 11th.  They won ALL eight of their games!!! YEA!!!  Their team did so well, worked together and it paid off.  UNDEFEATED!!  :o)  Daddy of course was their coach, so that was cool.  The last week of October begins their THIRD wrestling season.  They are a handful.  BUT they are READING the bible ALL on their own!!!!  AH so awesome!!!  Very very AWESOME!  This past summer was their first time at Harvest Christian Camp, I can tell it really impacted them!

Kelsey my all grown up 4th grader, started this month doing Kinder-buddies at school.  They get paired up with a kindergartener and on Fridays get 1/2 hour to spend time with their special friend.  Kelsey got a little girl who has some learning disabilities.  Kels loves to make her feel special and just being her friend!
(whispers-it was a sad sad day when I had to go and buy Kels her first bra this month :o( *sob sob* I SHOULDN'T have a child that old!) 

Elyse is my sweetie, who now only has four hugs everyday.  :o(  One in the morning and one at night is all she has for each Daddy and Mommy.  Little Miss. Independent!  But she LOVES her 'big girl bed'....no more toddler bed, TWIN bed now.  Her and Lydia play so well together! 
Oohhh cute story, just today Elyse was standing in front of me.  I was brushing Elyse's hair and she was having a melt down because mommy was hurting her!!!  So Lydia comes walking/wobbling in from the other room and comes right up to Leesie and hugs her so big and starts patting and rubbing her because Elyse was crying.  Lydia was comforting her!!!  SOOOO Sweet!!!  Lydia was laying her head on Elyse's tummy and hugging her.  SO then all Elyse could do was bust into laughter and forgot all about mommy hurting her hair.  LOL
