1/2 Marathon

Shawn is training for marathon in December so this weekend it called for him to run 12 miles on his training schedule.. he decided to run a 1/2 marathon in Florence. We dropped the kids off at Nana's and headed to Florence for a yummy meal at Buffalo Wild Wings all by ourselves. The next morning came early and very COLD!! Shawn did well and even ran into a high school cross country buddy - they enjoyed their run together.

Pumpkin Patch

Penny's first field trip was to Tate's Farm. The weather was perfect! Her class got to ride the hay ride to the pumpkin patch , find their way through a hay maze,visit the petting area, and enjoy the playground. I think her favorite part was- riding the bus!!What a great day!!

Red Ribbon March

Both Sam and Penny are members of Student Council at their schools. They participated in this years red ribbon march and pep rally.

Meet the Duggars

Jordan is obsessed with the Duggars and when she found out they were coming near us she put a call into her step-mom (me) and did LOTS of begging. Little did she know that I really like watching the show 19 Kids and Counting myself so it was not much of a twist my arm to get me to go. We went early hoping to get a good seat, little did we know that we would walk right in and get second row seat. (She was beside herself with JOY) I think the pictures say it all- she had a great time and meet her "Favorite" Duggar. We had a great time together!!

Remembering Papa Birthday

Today would have been Papa's birthday ... to honor his day we put a beautiful arrangement in the church foyer in memory of him

Nursery Rhyme Day

Three Blind Mice, Three Blind Mice,

See how they run, See how they run.

They all ran after the farmer's wife,

Who cut off their tails with a carving knife,

Did you ever see such a thing in your life,

As three blind mice?

Penny, Maggie, and Zoe- The Three Blind Mice!!
