Halloween Party 2014

We had so much fun packing our home with colorful kids and costumes!  

This was our second annual Halloween party, and we'd love to do it again!

Adam is Five!

Happy Birthday to our little Buzz Lightyear!  We love you to infinity and beyond!

A Trip Home

Friends

To be honest, it hasn't been the easiest start to a new school year.  Abby is doing the best of all of us in 2nd grade, filling in the gaps with a multitude of playdates (good friend Katelyn below).  

Adam loves preschool but is having a difficult transition adjusting to the accompanying daycare that shares building space nearby.  He misses his Megan and definitely Brynn (below).  

I'm battling the hourglass and can't see a way out:  I gave up my last hour prep to supervise a study hall, and Abby shows up promptly at 3:30 every day.  I'm not able to get my work done.

Eric would rather not talk about harvest this year.  :)

I'm sitting here feeling thankful, though, because we love living here (football games, walks, parks, DQ, repeat), and our hearts are full of people who matter to us, near & far away.  In the end, I think we're all here for relationship.  That's it.  That's the meaning of life.  Love Christ and love others.  Now help me to remember that in the cafeteria study hall 7th hour Monday!
