Run for the Schools

The boys and Mommy did the 1/2-mile fun run, then Mommy did the 10K.











Saying Good bye to Bamma and Papa

Bamma and Papa came to visit and help while Daddy was away in Texas. They were a great help taking and picking up the boys and girls from school and in getting to extracurricular activities. They also worked in our very overgrown and weed laden garden. They washed windows in and outdoors and did many other things to help us. It was quite an adjustment getting back into the swing of things when they left!

THE RESCUE RUN 5K Walk/Run ending human trafficking

We were happy to participate in this event to raise money to end human trafficking. Over ten thousand dollars was raised and we all got some exercise!! Mommy ran the 5k and then caught up with the rest of the family to finish the race again with them. The boys did great running periodically. It was a very cold morning which kept us motivated to move!

Making Pumpkin Spice muffins with Bamma

Maryn brought the muffins for her share day at preschool and her friends loved them!


Playing outside at our new house

We love the backyard at our new home. There is lots of flat space for play. 








Special Share Days at Preschool

Both Adelyn and Maryn have had their special share days at school recently. They bring in snack for their friends, they pray for the snack, they get to do special jobs through-out the morning and they can bring something to show and share with the class. The girls did a great job, although it is obvious that neither of them likes to be center of attention. 



Adelyn & Shapey her Buddy from school

Adelyn got the buddy in a bag from preschool to take care of for the week. She named him Shapey because of all of the shapes on his back.
