PUMPKINS...


Yesterday when we went to visit at Papa and Mimi's house we went down to the pumpkin patch at their church and Andrew picked out a pumpkin for each of us. He wasn't able to choose just one for the baby, so I let him get both that he liked. Since he is still a little small to be doing cutting and carving, we decided to try those new pumpkin push-ins they sell and let Andrew pick out whose pumpkin each would go on. Daddy's is the big one on the left, Mommy's is on the right and Andrew's is on the bottom in the middle of the two for the baby. They came out wicked cute and now we just have to put them out on the deck so people can enjoy them on Friday night!!!!

October



For this month's picture for Andrew's calendar he was a prince...he has not exactly been thrilled the past couple of months about being put in costumes, so I have to coerce and convince him that it can be fun. I allowed him to have a train under the cape with him and TA-DA...masterpiece!!! HAHA!!

In Memory...

My dearest Grammy Barbara passed away this AM just after midnight. It is truly a blessing that the good Lord took her home and away from all the suffering and pain and agony that she has been in this past week. I must say that she definitely would not have wanted that and I think she has been tired and ready to go home for a while now. The funeral probably will be Thursday or Friday and I can say this will be a very hard time for the whole family but I am going to try and remember the good times rather than the bad/sick times because I honestly think that is what she would have wanted. My mom has said she thinks I should write something to be read or to say something at the funeral, but I think that Grammy would understand that I cannot stand in front of all those people and talk or have anything that I want them to read aloud either. I have decided that I think I will write her a letter and I will seal it in an envelope and put it in the casket with her. That is a way I can talk privately to her and she will know what is in my heart and she will have it with her forever.

Grammy Barbara - As you look down from heaven, I hope you know how much we all loved you and how important and how much of an influence you were to all of us. You will be remembered, loved and in our hearts forever. Send those hugs and kisses down from above to all of us and always watch over us; you will always be our guardian angel. You are loved and will be missed more than words can ever describe.

"Touch the Sky" Fly-In

This morning we went to Dr VanOrden's wife Jenny's fly-in show where Andrew got to sit inside of Jenny's airplane and pretend he was flying it!! He was not old enough to actually go up in the plane but he seemed to enjoy just sitting in it enough anyway!! We also got to see planes taking off, landing and some parasailers that were up in the air, it was a fun morning!!!!
