praise: i know i have said this before, but i am so thankful that my kids are seeming to be much healthier right now. we've had some colds-but not as many as jan-jun. PRAISE THE LORD!!!!
prayer: my nephew's surgery is being moved up to tomorrow (wednesday) morning at 9:30am. it is supposed to be a 3 hour surgery. please pray for him and his recovery. also, michelle has a pretty nasty cold right now. it's miserable enough being 30 weeks pregnant, but throw a cold on top-not fun! my dad is teaching a block course at Northland Baptist Bible College this week. please pray that all goes well.
playfulness: dalton kicked down the side of his crib saturday morning-here's the proof!
dave took some cute pics of the boys while i was grocery shopping.
dave has a mouth guard for while he sleeps-here's auburn trying it out.
dalton rolled under his exersaucer yesterday-he looks like he was trying to fix something!
dalton and daddy had a little cuddle time last night-i guess this was dalton's "daddy date."
speaking of "daddy dates"-both older kids had theirs this past week, too. dave took auburn to a girls' basketball game, then to grants for ice cream. landon went with dave to the library then out for lunch. both kids loved spending the one-on-one time with their hero.
yesterday, the kids watched the beginning of lady and the tramp. landon decided today that his "pets" needed collars-just like lady received. the next few pics are of the construction and completion of the collars.
for those of you who have scrapped with me-notice my son's posture. he can't sit and work either!
seeing these pics reminds me-landon started telling a lady who was walking her dog yesterday all about his pet. "i have a dog, too. he's a toy, though..." on went the conversation. she just stared at him, with a semi-patient look. trying to get away-but not wanting to hurt his feelings. i give her credit for trying to seem interested, but he would have kept her standing infront of our house for an hour if she had let him.
here's a cute pic of dalton-you can see his teeth well.
during naptime yesterday, i raked leaves. since i didn't have enough bags-the kids had the privilege of jumping in the remaining piles-and they had a blast! i'll start off the next string of pictures with a boring one of my house-which i happen to finally be liking-then i'll move onto pics of the kids in the leaves/with pumpkins.
(i have no idea why auburn did the face she did. the mind of a two year old...)
auburn enjoyed burying landon.
auburn wanted to rake, while landon "fished" a little.
okay, here are some more of the little guy. he was intrigued by the new toys.
oops! a little tipsy.
tonight, we went over to grandmas house to cheer her up since papa is gone. we don't do halloween except for dressing up to go to grandmas. kids had a blast.
i found the costumes for auburn and dalton in a bag sale at a consignment shop two weeks ago. landon's we threw together from items we had at the house.
grandma even made a special YUMMY dessert!
here are all the grandkids-plus joshua wiggins.
have a great night!!!!
