David's 1st Haircut

I finally did it, and I regret it, just like I did with Alex. :) We took little David to the Barber Shop today! I've been putting it off, just trimming it at home. The last time I did it, I made it really jagged & wanted it done up nice. Of course, I think they did it too short, and he looks too grown up because of that, but they really did a good job. He was such a good boy, too! He sat still & would turn his head the opposite way of where the guy was cutting. I was so proud of him!

Alexander's 1st Flight!

Daddy's friend, Mr. Greg, called today to go flying. Daddy took Alexander! We've been to the airport with him before, he's climbed in planes, but this was his first flight. They flew from Melbourne to River Ranch, got out for a while & then flew back. Alex was so excited when he got home! I asked him what he did today & his reply was, "I go flying in an airplane! Way high up to the sky!" Every time he sees an airplane flying over he tells me, "That airplane is flying up high in the sky, just like I do!"

Gingerbread House & Christmas Trees

Morgan made her gingerbread house with Grandma & Papa. She does this with them every year. The boys wanted to do something, so we made Christmas trees with them. I just wanted to share some pictures of their fun! We've been doing lots of stuff to get ready for Christmas, we'll have a lot of pictures to share soon!

KSC Airshow

Papa got us VIP passes to the pre-show. I surprised Morgan by picking her up early from school. We then stopped at Grandma & Papa's house, loaded up & went out to Kennedy Space Center. We saw some amazing planes. Alex now covers his ears when he sees a plane, "It's going to be loud!" We got to see many planes. The Blue Angels performed w/ Fat Albert. We saw an F-16, F-18, C-130, Helos, an A-10, and others. It was a beautiful day, cool, sunny, perfect for the airshow. Thanks to Papa and Grandma for allowing us to tag along!

Nana's House 5k was this weekend. What a great event! We met at Front Street Park, and walked over the Melbourne Causeway, through another park & back across the causeway to Front Street. I felt so energized when we were done!

Nana's House is a group home for children. Adoption has been on my heart since I was younger than my daughter. I have always had a heart for those children who are neglected & need that love in their lives. David & I are considering becoming foster parents. Now is not the time though. For now, God had directed me to the H.O.P.E. ministries, helping orphans prepare for eternity. I cannot wait to become more involved. I think it's important for our children to realize how blessed we are to have a real family & how we need to share our love with others. Please keep Nana's house in your prayers as everything is being put together. And don't forget those children in need.

Happy Halloween!

Morgan Carves a Pumpkin!

Morgan's turn! Morgan & Daddy carved her pumpkin last night. It was a pretty late night for her. She had something to do at school so she was there until 3:45. Then we went straight to dance, stopped at the store, came home, finished the homework for the week, she ate her pizza & got to work. Whew! I'm tired all over again. She got into bed 1 1/2 hours after normal bedtime. Today she wore her costume to school. She should have a wonderful day, it's Halloween & it's Fun Friday! (Every Friday at school is Fun Friday, she really looks forward to it.)

The Boys Carve a Pumpkin

The boys carved their first pumpkin w/ Daddy. They took late naps & Daddy left class early to have time to do their pumpkin. Alex really got into it! They cleaned the pumpkin out together. Alex picked a "Happy Face" from the book. After getting all the pumpkin guts out, the boys went off to bed, not much they could do w/ helping Daddy cut it. They were both amazed at the face on the pumpkin when they got up this morning. :)

Wow....

Alex digs in for the first time:

I caught him eating some pumpkin guts, seemed to enjoy it though:
