October/November

The blog has obviously been neglected as of late.  I’d like to think that will change, but it probably won’t. Plus, with it just being Anya and I at home, a lot of the funny stuff happens in Mrs. H’s room with Creighton.  If I could give everyone a Creighton to parent, I would.  He’s funny as can be, quick to forgive, quick to give a hug, and genuinely happy 97% of the time.  But Anya still has plenty of antics to make up for being the only one here.  She keeps me hopping and I’m never sure what she might do next.  Motherhood continues to be the biggest source of refining in my life.  God continually uses them to teach me and refine me and remind me that we all are in desperate need to His grace.  I’ve been given so much that I don’t deserve and yet it still can be a challenge to extend grace to the little people in our home.  I’m beyond thankful that God has not given up on me.

Going back to October:

I went on a field trip to Tanner’s Orchard with Creighton.  Each time I have a kid in Kindergarten my appreciate for kindergarten teachers grows exponentially!

Our old neighbors still graciously invite us to the neighborhood pumpkin carving party.  It was fun to see everyone again.

A new experience for us this year….leaves…..lots and lots and lots of leaves.

Our church had a leaf raking outreach in town.  It was way more fun to do other people’s yards than it was to do our own.  =)

My Dad and Mom graciously kept our kids for a few days so we could go with our friends, Ross and Jamie, to Florida.  We had so much fun with them and I never get tired of Florida.  Thanks, Ross and Jamie!!
