Start Your Engines

Last Tuesday was Western Day at Mother's Day Out.

Would you just look at these little cowboys...

It's so hard to believe tomorrow is the first day of October. Around our house from this point until December 31 it's basically eat or be eaten.

We have so much going on, and each fall seems to go by faster with more and more to do.

Our church is in the process of completing a decade-long relocation process by which we will leave our original, downtown location and finish our campus across town. Basically 60% of the building is designated for preschool and children's ministry, so Todd's involvement in this has been major.

We plan to vote on November 4, with construction beginning immediately following the holidays. Say a prayer...it's about to get crazy!

Enjoy the cooler weather this week!

Vacation

We took our first vacation as a family of 4 back in mid-August. We took Ben when he was 6 months, 18 months, and 30 months, but skipped last year because of financial reasons, combined with a newborn and an active three-year old...we knew we wouldn't survive the trip down.

But the timing was perfect this year - Ben and Luke both did extraordinarily well on the trip down.

The week started out with heavy rain on Monday, so we hit the Destin outlet mall and killed the day there, picking up some back to school clothes for Ben.

From Tuesday morning on, the weather was perfect. So thankful that we got out before Isaac showed up. Our friends Josh, Hillary and baby Sadie didn't fare as well...read their story HERE. Still, they caught some adorable pics of Miss Priss before they had to head back north. Thankfully they're planning another trip down in late fall.
