Happy Halloween 2013


Happy Halloween!  The kids were ready to go trick-or-treating as soon as they got home from school today.  We did go out a little earlier than normal as rain was in the forecast.  But thankfully, the rain held off and Reagan & Cooper were able to their bags full of candy.

Race for the Cure

This morning, our whole family got up bright and early to walk in our city's Race for the Cure event.  It was a COLD, COLD, COLD day, but we had a fun time walking with our friend Tiffany.

Getting Better

Dad was moved to a rehab facility today to help him get back his strength.  The facility is closer to home and is less "sterile" than the hospital.  Hopefully, it won't be too much longer before he's back home and as good as new!

Worship Time

Reagan leads worship every week for the kids' program at church, but today, she and her team lead worship for the adults...on stage...in the large auditorium...in front of almost 500 people...for two services.  We are so proud of her.  She did amazing and we hope they get to lead our worship service again soon!

The Pumpkin Patch

We headed out for our annual trip to the pumpkin patch this morning.  We visited a new patch this year, one that had a 10-acre corn maze!  We had a great time!
Welcome to Maple Lane Farms
 Cooper was the only one in the mood to have his picture made today!
 Look how big he is!
 Her too!

Check-Up

Time for the semi-annual dental visit for the kids!  They both had great reports ~ no cavities for either.  Just need to work on brushing a little bit better!

Surgery

Yesterday, Papaw had surgery to remove his kidney.  Surgery went well, but recovery is proving to be a little slower than we had hoped.

Greg celebrated his birthday today.  After work and school, we ate dinner at O'Charley's and had a piece of caramel pie for dessert.
