Thankful

I know it's not Thanksgiving, but I have so much to be thankful for and I just wanted to share a little. I really don't even know where to begin, but we'll see what I type. :)
I'm thankful that the Lord protected Doug and that he's alive.
for amazing girlfriends that encourage me
that we have enough money for food, clothes and shelter
that Michael has a job...that he loves!
that I get to stay home with our boys
that I get to teach them for now
that Jesus has saved me and I don't have to do anything to earn it, even if I could
that we are filthy rich, relationally
for new friendships forming and reforming
that I have a sweet husband
that we have a handful of friends that would babysit for free
that we love our church and the people in it
that we have good cars-thanks to Michael's parents
that it's finally Fall-like!

I really could go on and on....
Here are some pics of what we've been up to in no particular order
Henry Yoder came for a visit and thought these glasses were too funny! I wish I caught this on video...we were dying laughing.

Brotherly love

Field trip to the Chattahoochee. Fed the ducks.

We make the letters different ways instead of tracing them. This is supposed to be better for them at 3 from what I've read.

Our apple craft

I keep whatever we're learning up by our kitchen table so we keep talking about them throughout the day. Sam and Owen love this!

We LOVE these Melissa and Doug blocks. Owen thinks the funniest thing he's ever seen is building a tower with them and then knocking them down. It's really funny and cute to hear him crack up!
Playing Hi Ho Cherry Oh is part of our curriculum. Got it for $2 at the Kindermart sale...YES!

Our bedtime story ritual.

Uncle Matthew came for dinner. Sam likes to be upside down a lot right now.

He's getting so good and fast it makes me nervous

Dublin just started recycling...yay!

At the ice cream shop downtown Dublin

Mrs. Vestal and Sam (he's her biggest fan)

My sweet boys

The Aquarium

My Mom took us to the Georgia Aquarium yesterday. Michael and I went when they first opened 5 years ago and haven't been back. It's so much more fun with kids. They were so into it. Thanks for the field trip and lunch, Grammy!
This looks like an advertisement for the Aquarium. He LOVED it! It was the first trip for both of them.
Owen's favorite part. The slow moving walkway
