October in review




I can't believe October 2009 is history already! The girls have enjoyed playing in the leaves. It is so cool to see them have fun with such simple things!

Most of October was spent with at least one of us being sick! Both girls had fevers that went away and then they had ear infections a week later. Kevin and I both had sinus junk. The pharmacy tech at Target now recognizes me and welcomes me back!

Meg's every 3 month check with the retina specialist went well. Her retina is still attached and working and her vision is almost back to pre-surgery. So now she's finished with drops in that eye. She is doing much better in school. They've had a long term substitute teacher lately, so I'm anxious to see if things continue to go well once her regular teacher returns.

Kellie finally had her 2 yr check up, she's a tall kid- in the 50-75th percentile for height! She's still on the bottom of the weight chart, but that's to be expected. She has picked up a few new words.



Halloween was fun. Meg's school had a parade and party on Friday. Kevin went to help at the party, which thrilled Megan.
We went to visit Granny and Granddaddy Hurst on Saturday afternoon. The kids had fun running around like crazy folks!

On Saturday Megan and Kellie went trick or treating with Meg's friend Amy and her brother Brandon (who is close to Kellie's age).
Well, that's the high and low lights of the month at our house.

Please continue to be in prayer for my family, as my parents house sold, the separation papers are in process, Dad will be moving away, and Mom will be moving too.
Please also pray for Grandaddy and Granny. Granddaddy had a heart attack and yesterday they put in a pacemaker and he is in the ICU. Don't know much else at this point.
Thanks!

Farm fun Weekend


On Saturday we went to Jumbo's Pumpkin Farm and South Mountain Creamery (Michael, Samuel, Luke, Carter, Danielle, Cara, and Natalie joined us- poor Cassie wasn't feeling well so she and Angie stayed home and watched movies!).

It was fun-At Jumbo's they had a hay ride, pumpkin patch, corn maze, pony rides, farm animals. The kids really enjoyed themselves. The guys and the bigger kids went thru the corn maze- to Danielle and I who were chasing Kel and Nat around the patch it seemed to take them a long time, but they made it out safely. Everyone picked out pumpkins to take home and enjoyed running around.

At the Creamery there were cows, free kittens, fresh ice cream, , another hay ride, other fun stuff, some guys selling chocolate covered espresso beans (something new to add to my list of things I like to eat!).


On Sunday the 4 of us ventured to Whispering Meadows Alpaca Breeders. Alpaca's are such neat animals and they are soft. However, they aren't the friendliest animals- not mean just kinda snobby. They had a hay ride, pony ride, a cool store full of Alpaca fiber items (such soft warm gloves, hats, throws) and of course Megan asked for a bear made of Alpaca fiber- so incredibly soft.

Such family fun this weekend! Check out our photo sharing site to see more, if you want!
