Glorious Apples! A Fall Harvest!

Yesterday, the girls and I had fun making apple crisp and caramel apples while watching Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet in Sense and Sensibility! Great memories! Great treats!

Enjoy the glorious fall harvest of apples while making great memories!

Tombs, Pharoahs, The Nile, Mummies...

Egypt has been the theme! We have had fun so far making a salt map of The River Nile to turning E. into a mummy (Charmin!) Soon we will be building a pyramid with sugar cubes and writing messages using hieroglyphs!

A Day in the Life...

Is Darth Vader in the House?

Our dear little R. has suffered from not being able to breathe well through her nose for most of her 2-1/2 year life. It has been joked that she sounds a bit like Darth Vader! :-) But all joking aside, this has made sleeping very difficult for R. because she actually has moments when she stops breathing and jolts semi-awake to take a breath. This very disturbing to listen to. Supposedly, little R. is not even able to reach REM sleep because of this pattern. Thus, she can struggle with being somewhat irritable during the day. So, we are going to have a sleep study done so the doctor can decide just what is going on and what is the best way to address this problem. So, we would appreciate your keeping our little girl in your prayers. We pray for wisdom for the doctors as well as they determine what to do. Perhaps we will soon get Darth Vader out of the house! :-)

The Wild Life!

Fishin'!

The kids are ready to go! We are heading to Lake Corpus Christi with our fishin' poles...

E. has his Zebco.
A. has her Barbie pole.
S. has his Diego pole.
R. has her Spongebob pole!

Wanna come?
Adventures await....:-)

So Thankful!

Wow, we are so thankful for being spared from Ike. At the same time, we are hurting for those who experienced so much destruction in Houston and Galveston areas. E. learned much about praying for others through this. I hope that he will continue to mature in this area. This kind of fruit in his life makes me so thankful.
