Fall in Texas

Well, Fall is here in Texas. We have been enjoying life and growing in the Lord. I add the last part about growing in the Lord because God has been moving in our lives. Tyler, the leader of our home that he is, has been pressing us to get our family priorities in order. It has been challenging, yet fun! Today, I felt the reward as I woke up at 5:45am on my own and felt rested. It was amazing! Being a wife and mom are work, yet the Lord is right there helping the entire day as long as I include Him.

Stone started a new Childrens Day Out (CDO) program last week. His teachers, Miss Nell and Miss Holly, are adorable. They give so many praises when I drop him off and pick up. We are blessed for Stone to be in their sweet care 2 days a week. The biggest news for Stone is that he stopped using his binker Saturday night. The process has gone GREAT! Each night he asked for his binker, and we would say, "Stone, you are a big boy. You don't need a binker." Two nights ago, I said this to him. Stone replied, "Why?" I then went into a story reminding him of his Pablo - Backyardigans birthday party when he turned 2, and Stone said, "No, I 4!" Very funny!

Grant is waving, giving kisses and has some sign language down. He is just a wonderful little guy! I can't say enough how he blesses our hearts. I am amazed how he just chills. He will play in the playroom by himself for a LONG time. Personal time will probably be important to this little one. He tries walking, but not there yet. Crawling is getting him where he needs to go, and he is quite content with that. Grant is Tyler's biggest fan! It's funny when Tyler comes home from work, if he doesn't acknowledge Grant, then Grant starts doing anything and gets louder until Tyler spends that quality time with him. He loves his Daddy!

Here are some pics the first couple are of Stone on his first day of school. Then we took shots on our trip to a pumpkin patch. So much fun! We went with our Life Group leaders, Martin and Marsha and their twins, Makeelie and Brexton. Precious family! The kids had so much fun playing on the blow up slides and bounce house, etc. We even got to go on a hay ride. Thanks guys for hanging out with us! At the end there are pics of Jud's 2 youngest kids, Isabelle and Jake (J wouldn't look at the camera. He had a smile though. Little stinker!). We enjoyed a gorgeous fall day at the park.
