Field Trip to Dan Nicholas Park

This week kids had couple days off from school and Logan had a field trip to Dan Nicholas Park in Salisbury, Grace and I joined them for the fun. Enjoy the photos.

Christian also had his last PT appointment - yeah!

Enjoyed an incredible Prayer and Praise service mid-week where God well...did his thing! As he loves to do when we give him permission. Still in awe of him and all that he did this week to touch the lives of others through this broken vessel, that simply loves the Lord with all she has! Just saying, if any one reading this longs to be used by God, to draw close to to impact his kingdom but feel unworthy because of your junk...let me just say God uses broken people to do incredible things. It is not because of who we are but because of who He is...you see then he gets the glory!!! Okay done preachen, but I'm just saying....Today I celebrate my 43rd birthday and have never felt more alive!

Trick or Treat Part II

Take it mom I have got to stop eating this stuff!
Let's see an airhead in the mouth and I think I will have a sucker too

My gosh this is incredible; I can feel myself starting to spin, I know the eyes give it away huh?

Oh my now whose candy is this? (Christian dumped his in the floor)

When we got back from trick-or-treating, Jonathon had painted his face with the pen we got for Grace's whiskers...crazy! Grace looked at him like what have you done?

Last of the photos enjoy

the kids with neighbors and friends

Okay this night was a blast! Grace loved it! The older ones left us though, we were too slow for them. Grace thought this whole concept of going to door to door for candy rocked! I am just waiting for her to find that pumpkin a few weeks from now and want to try it again...and ohh as for the candy, we will have to hide that girl was rockin a sugar buzz tonight. When I said bath time and got her all undressed she proceeded to run through the house from me naked with a sucker in her mouth (making me very nervous) laughing hysterically! I had to laugh. She talked her self to sleep after about 45 minutes....enjoy the photos and nighty night!

Okay I Am Catching Up What Can I Say...

Okay it has been a busy couple weeks but I am catching up with lots of photos and updates today. Nothing in particular for the most part just life as usual.

We did have my niece, Lily's, dedication last Sunday which of course was precious!

This week held much in the terms of heart felt prayers for my Lily who had her palate surgery this week and Benjamin, a little one who was adopted along with Grace and Lily. Benjamin and his parents live in Maryland and he had a big surgery this week too. Both are now at home. Lily surgery went better than expected. God answered our prayers with the doctor being able to close the palate all the way which he did not think he could. She is healing well and her little personality has returned after a rough little spell. Sleep is getting better that has been the hardest thing. Benjamin will continue to heal and need a lot of supervision and another surgery in 6 weeks. Keep these little ones in your prayers.

We are on Fall break now, so kids have been out of school since Friday and will return next Wednesday so definitely more energy around the house but no homework - wahoo!

More Gymnastics and Halloween

One of her favorite things to run across the trampoline in the floor
Jumping in the small sponge pit together

This is also one of her favorites - swinging from the bars; she tries this at home from the handle of the treadmill

The balance beam she enjoys as well and has managed to make the curb over the drain in the street her neighborhood balance beam

Precious

Hope you enjoyed

Halloween and Gymnastics....So Much Fun!

Lily watches on as Grace tumbles
Only one as little and sweet could get away with a shot like this

Stretching

Okay this might be my favorite! She is really my daughter, do you have to wonder what she is thinking? Not for a minute!

Adorable little kitty ...or as Grace says Meow

Grace and Lily take gymnastics each week and this week they could dress up in their costumes...adorable! Enjoy I swear she has stolen my heart...
