Pumpkin Picking

Our kids used to beg us to take them to the gas station pumpkin patch at Hamilton Mill. Well, a few years ago we decided to fore go the long drive & the crowds at Burt's and took them to the old Citgo (or was it a Chevron?) pumpkin patch. We haven't been back to Burt's since. The kids love this pumpkin patch. They play in the dog houses & on the swing sets and then quickly run through the pumpkins before picking the one that will grace our front porch step. We have all grown to love the gas station pumpkin patch!!

Micah's First Georgia Tech Game

Robbie & I love going up to Clemson every other year for the GT vs. Clemson game. This year Micah joined us. This was his first GT game & he did really great. He took a few cat naps throughout the game & especially loved the band! Thanks Mr. Rob for the tickets!!

After the game we tailgated with the Elkins and Micah fell asleep in the back of the car. It was a long day for him!

McKinney - We Love You!!!

October 12 marked four years of life with McKinney. God truly blessed us with him. McKinney, you are a joy to be around. You constantly make me laugh when you aren't causing me to pull my hair out. You say the funniest things & keep us on our toes. We can't wait to see what God has in store for your life.

Despite the rain, keeping the inflatable from being delivered, you had a great party. Your friend's enjoyed playing in your playroom & outside.

Rainy Day Fun

A few days ago we had a very rainy day. McKinney couldn't stand being inside any longer & I found him outside playing in the rain. He had such a great time & it made me a little envious that I wasn't playing in the rain with him. Oh to be 4 again!!

Fall Break was a Blast!!

Over Rebekah and McKinney's Fall Break from school we piled in the car with Pop & Gaga and went to Lynchburg, VA to visit Uncle David. The trip was a lot of fun & the kids really enjoyed seeing David's house & where he works. The highlight of the trip was on Sunday at Campus Church. David leads music & it was McKinney's birthday the Sunday we were there, so David had the students sing Happy Birthday to him. He & Rebekah were on the big screen & had huge smiles while 2000+ students sang to him. I will upload a video but it cuts off at the end b/c my batteries died (typical)!

Baby Dedication

On Sunday, September, 22 we dedicated Micah to the Lord & to whatever the Lord has for him throughout his life. As with the other two children, we take this ceremony very seriously & pray that we will be able to hold up our end of the bargain. We already pray for the day that Micah makes the decision to give his life to Jesus & pray, believing that day will be at a young age. We love you Micah Andrew & couldn't be more blessed to have you as part of our family!!
