Fall Fun

Playing in the leaves never gets old...



I would lay on the ground with the camera...



and he loved to cover us (baby brother too!) up.  What laughing-sweet fun!



It is so hard to get that "perfect picture" of Owen because he is so active.



I was really impressed that the camera caught this one- he held this pose for half a second :)

Opryland Hotel opened- we went to see the lights. This is a peek at the new lobby



and it's gorgeous new ceiling.
Hope everyone had a fab Thanksgiving!
Thanks to Pop, GiGi, and Uncle Michael for a great visit!



Leah Grace

Our friends John and Amanda Gasser are working to adopt an orphan from China, Leah Grace.
We are helping by participating in a "both hands" project.  We send out letters seeking sponsors to support  us while we work on a widow's home with a group of other volunteers.  All the materials for the widow's house are donated from the community so all the money that is raised goes toward the adoption cost of Leah!    The work day is scheduled for Nov 20th.  If you would like more info check out these websites and or email us your address and we would be happy to send you a support letter.

Hope you consider helping us help our friends.
Love to you!

Halloween

Little Blue Monster got loads of candy!!!  We laughed so much as Owen enjoyed all the attention.  After walking away from one house he said..."mommy all the ladies are laughing at me."  Toward the end- his bag got so heavy that he asked one lady if she could carry his bag back down to his daddy.  While we were out Nana and Papa stayed at our house to pass out candy- When O would say "trick or treat" the giver gave and, it was not uncommon for Scott and I to hear from the sidewalk..."can I have some for my Nana and Papa too?"  Such a sweet boy.  There was/is plenty to share!! Come on over if you would like some :)
