Emergency Room Here We Come!

I guess I had a weak moment the other day and agreed to letting my brother give the boys his little motorcycle. They are so excited, but all I keep thinking of is the possible injuries. Here is a clip of their first experience on the bike.

Poor Bo

I was trying to explain to the boys why Bo had to be neutered. Micah was distraught and said, "You mean that Bo will never be able to get married!" He then thought about it and commented that it might be better since it would be weird for Bo to get married and still live with us. This is the child that has had marriage on his mind lately. He is so worried about having to ask a girl to marry him and then he will have to kiss her in front of everyone. I am sure these feelings will change way too soon.

Bo has to wear this crazy contraption on his head. He is already clumsy so adding a huge circle around his head that won't fit through a door is proving to be too much of a challenge for him. Hopefully, he will not have to wear this thing much longer for all of our sakes.

Fall Activities

Last weekend we were able to get together with my brother and his family. We had a wonderful time at a pumpkin patch and then spent the rest of the evening at their place. It is so nice to be able to see them more often and especially my adorable niece.













Isaac and I went on a date to celebrate his upcoming birthday. We went to Culvers and enjoyed our time talking about all kinds of things related to science. It is amazing to me how much he is learning just listening to me teach his brothers. We topped off the meal with a chocolate sundae covered with M&M's.






It has actually been cold enough here to want to get our fireplace working. We went to a friends place and we chopped and loaded enough wood to last us for the winter. It was so beautiful to be out in the woods with the fall colors. I just love this time of year!

Please Pray!

My heart is so heavy today as I read one of my friend's blog. Most of you know the Brokerings or have heard us ask for prayer for this dear family. Warren has been battling for several years with cancer and seems to be near the end of his battle. They have had an incredible testimony through this whole experience and have been such an example to so many people including myself. They are, in my opinion, true heroes of the faith. Please pray for them!!
