She's Four Months Old!


Mickey's four month birthday was yesterday. We had her healthy check-up and all looks well. She's in the 75th percentile for weight, height, and head circumference. She is smiling a lot and just learned to roll over. McKinley is genuinely amused by her siblings and extremely tolerant of their poking, prodding, and "loving" gestures.

I love that profile!

Here is this month's Grammy-Cam video (narrated by Kennedy).


Enjoy!

Our Halloween Crew 2009

Mikey donned the bumblebee costume, Harrison was Spiderman, Kennedy was fire, our little punkin' was McKinley and Jack sported police officer attire. They dressed up and met their other cousins at Grammy and Papa's house for dinner before heading to church for a harvest party.

Fall Photos

We have been enjoying the fall. The pumpkins, leaves, weather, and longer school hours have all been reminders that our wonderful summer is over.
Grandma Karen came last weekend for a visit. It was nice to spend some time with her before the snow falls in the mountains and makes it trickier for us to see her.
Grandma was impressed by Jackson's improvement in reading.
When I was a kid, we would have had to rake the back yard for almost an hour to get a leaf pile this big. Now days, it just takes a leaf blower and a few minutes.

...and even less time than that to mess it up!

I love it!

Kennedy took this picture as "evidence" when she came to let us know what Jackson was up to.

Junior Hoopsters

For the last five weeks Jackson has been attending Junior Hoopsters, a basketball skills class through our local community center. It has been fun watching him learn to dribble and shoot the ball with other kiddos his age.

Just play. Have fun. Enjoy the game.

A Pumpkin Parable

Being a Christian is like being a pumpkin.

God lifts you up, takes you in, and washes all the dirt off of you.


He opens you up, touches you deep inside and scoops out all the yucky stuff - including the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc.

Next He carves you a new smiling face.


Then He puts His light inside you to shine for all the world to see.
