SUPER GLUE!?!

Friday, Rich had to rush home from work to take J.J. to the ER (seems like we've been there alot lately)! He had split his forehead open on the toy box...they used SUPER GLUE to close the wound (we've GOTTA keep his cute face in tact!) .---J.J. was a TROOPER, he even took a nap in the waiting room!

(George, JJ's monkey, also has a boo-boo...Samson bit his mouth)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Pilgrim Brothers

I took this picture for a craft the kids made to pass out to the people at the nursing home.

Sweetheart Pilgrims!


The kids sang "Thankful" songs, recited Bible verses & passed out the picture crafts they had made.

JJ leading in song!

We spent our evening with the Williams family (at Kim's parents home), Barbara helped the kids make "Thankful Turkeys" & read them a story about the first Thanksgiving.

TWINS!!!

My sister Elizabeth had her TWINS on Sunday!...We went and saw them, SOOOO cute!

Pastor Joel

Sunday night Eddie and I went to the dedication service for my brother Joel to the ministry of Pastoring his new church 'The Bible Fellowship' in Sun City Center, FL. www.theBIBLEfellowship.com . It was so encouraging to see people who have been apart of Joel's life at one time or another come together to celebrate and encourage him.---To bad we live in Vero Beach now....we would LOVE to attend!

Our "Holiday Kick-Off" Tradition...

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD

Every year we kick off the holidays by packing up shoe boxes for Samaritans Purse.
The boys personally picked out the items and filled up their boxes at Target. I was SO blessed this year by them, they never asked to keep the things for themselves, they TOTALLY 'got it'!!!

Packing with love.The finishing touch.....they drew pictures for their 'boys with no toys' & we included a photo of them.

WOW!...a 'Big Boy' bike already!

The other day Eddie taught himself how to ride 'big boy' bike!

(WOW...JJ just learned about 2 months ago!)

He LOVES to wear his helmet everywhere now...

even at lunchtime!

Down on the Farm.

Saturday we went to a birthday party on a farm! Harry said it was the 'Greatest party EVER!'.

This goat was very photogenic!

Eddie waiting patiently for his turn on the pony ride.

Rejoice in the Lord ALWAYS!

Last night while the boys were waiting for dinner...JJ broke out in song and led them in a chorus of "Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say REJOICE!".

Fall FUN!

Last week we went to the Pumkin Patch with Boppa & Grandma (my parents).

Here they are on a hayride at the Pumkin Patch with Isaiah (cousin) & Aunt Susanna (my sister).


Preparing the cupcakes for our 3rd annual "Fall Costume Party" yesterday.


Spiderman, Superman & the HULK joined us last night!





Spiderman has a new hand signal = I Love You!





Superman took a bad fall the other day and he has the scar on his top lip to proove it.





Eddie kept saying: "i HULK! bigger, Bigger, BIGGER!"

Samson was an ARMY DOG...i guess he didn't like the makeup...looks like he's trying to lick it off!

We had over 20 kids yesterday!!!!! It was a BLAST!

Hayride time!

Some of us "big kids" got in on the costume fun as well!

(FYI: i am the Indian Princess on the right)

At the end of the night I finally showed Eddie his face...

He kept saying: "Eeeeew, DIRTY!".

This is the MOST ADORABLE video clip of Harry & Mackenzie (his sweetheart) dancing under the stars! They are SOOOOOOO cute!
