Thanksgiving!!

If you are reading this, then chances are good that you are someone we think about today as we contemplate the goodness of God in giving us such wonderful family and friends! We are first of all thankful for the Gospel: that in Christ we have been given salvation and a relationship with our heavenly Father. Then, that he has richly blessed us on this earth with so many good things. That brings us to you. Have a happy thanksgiving!

Fall Leaves

I included the following 3 pictures mainly to ask if anyone has any experience with young, male toddlers "reaching"....constantly. Klein is always reaching for something...there's nothing actually there, but yet he reaches. When he wakes up each morning, we pick him up, and he reaches his arm toward the sky as if to say "I am the champion" or "look, a plane!". It's really pretty funny.

Autumn Events

Autumn is always full of fun, family happenings. A sampling of those for our family is pictured below. Included is Bethany's trip to the Pumpkin Patch with her pre-school class, a 2nd trip with mommy's MOPS group, Halloween (Bethany as a Bride and Klein a pumpkin, Bethany's "community helper dress-up day" at school (she's a dance teacher) and Steve and Bridget's night out at the Fox in Atlanta with Zevacs to see Ray Lamontagne. That was my particular favorite, complete with an afternoon stroll through the IKEA store, dinner at Figo Italian and then the show. I love our kids, but the night out with my beautiful wife was spectacular.

Well, sorry about the delay...just recently discovered facebook, so spending more time on that than the blog :) July was very eventful for us, in fact the whole summer was pretty crazy! Bethany turned 3 (and wanted a "mean ole witch" cake), officially started ballet, and played with friends as much as possible. We also took 2 beach trips, the first to amelia island, the second to panama city.
