Table Talk





Well, today we woke up to our first snow. The boys were so excited and Isaac kept saying, "Christmas"! It is hard to believe that a few days ago it was in the seventies. The boys were actually shirtless and running through sprinklers on our walk. Then they decided to rake the leaves. They were busy so I went inside to catch up on some things. All of sudden I have two boys calling for me. My nose then catches a whiff of a horrible smell. I get to the top of the stairs to see a trail of leaves throughout the kitchen. Micah then tells me that Isaac threw up. I didn't ask many questions and proceeded to clean the mess and give Isaac a bath. That night at dinner the boys decide to share with us the details. I guess they thought that it would be fun to bury Isaac in the leaves. He got one in his mouth and started to gag and, well, you can figure out the rest. As we are eating, they give even greater details as to the looks of the throw up! Sometimes I think that we need to be taping dinner conversations at our house.

Hope that you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Finally, A New Post!

I know that it has been way too long between posts when I have people asking me to please update! This one is for those of you who faithfully check it and never see much of a change. :)

Life seems to get busier and busier in our household. Between home schooling and keeping up with a rambunctious toddler, my days seem to fly by and I try to figure out what I actually accomplished. We have had a round of strep and colds in our home so that has added to the chaos.

In the middle of October, I was able to have a relaxing getaway to the Northland Ladies Heart Conference. It was so much fun to spend time with my friend Kristi and the ladies of Berean Baptist Church. I got a ride to MN and then rode to WI with them, so it was a long trip but definitely worth it. I came back so refreshed, encouraged, and challenged in my walk with God, but physically I was exhausted thanks to Kristi! :)



My parents and cousin Stevie came for a visit to celebrate Isaac's third birthday. Isaac had a blast but couldn't understand the concept of a birthday only lasting one day. We celebrated my mom's birthday and packed in many fun activities. It is always hard to say goodbye, but I am so thankful for parents who are willing to come and visit often. I think they come for the grandkids more than to see their daughter!

I hope you enjoy the pictures and thanks again for your patience!!!
