This is "Fighter Pilot Mark" - he got it from his real pilot Uncle Armand (and Lay-Lay and Trey) - Thanks!

Seth is thrilled with the prospect of flying a plane...

We went geocaching with my parents at Lake Ouchita with my parents last month

Mark found these glasses in a cache!!! (Just kidding - they're mine ;)

"Could we please just hurry and go get a slushy?"

This was Mark on his big performance night at MDO - his class sang 1 very classy song - "I Know a Chicken" and shook eggs. I was really hoping for more, but he still has a bright future. Ha!

We went to a "cowboy" themed birthday party on a farm! Seth liked the cat!

I love this picture! Wish I had the ability to make it sepia!

They're discussing what to serve at the reception - chicken, salmon, or beef?

The boys packing our "Boxes of Love" for needy families over the holidays (Mark always has a costume or just something weird on...)

Decorating at Grammy and Pops' house

GiGi and Seth opted out of the game of horseshoes, so they're keeping each other warm

Making placemats at Lovey and Poppa's house

Addis was the birthday boy on Friday! He and Seth are 10 days apart

Enjoying the "Poppa-go-round"

"Ebony and ivory" - or cutest thing ever!

This is at a cool new Children's Play area at Garvan Woodland Gardens in Hot Springs

Happy Thanksgiving, and bring on the Mistletoe!

Yay! It's the most woderful time of the year! We have never decorated for Christmas this early before because I usually do a big Thanksgiving feast for our small group, but all my entertaining fall stuff is in storage - in the garage. So, Josh was off today, and we decided to go ahead and get stuff up! It looks great, and it makes me so excited for Christmas!

- We DID sell our house! We are closing next Monday, October 19. Please pray that it goes through without a hitch.

- God provided a rent house right down the road from where we are now! It was a pretty exhausting and seemingly hopeless task. Not as many (not shady) rent houses in LR as you would think...

- Went to Beth Moore conference in Memphis this weekend with my girls, Misty and Kim. We totally had a BLAST and heard from the Lord! That lady is annointed!!! Love her

- Overwhelmed with packing and closing and changing address and laundry and boxes and therapy and all the junk in my backyard and MDO and ... ....

- God provided a great home for Daisy! He is the drummer on my praise team; he and his roommate are single and will take GREAT care of her! He picks her up Wednesday.

- Josh is on an easy month! Praise the LORD! I would really be overwhelmed if he wasn't...

- Mark got an early birthday present from Josh's parents - a bike! He loves it! I'll post pictures sometime, but not now.

- Seth is getting really close to walking - he still can't stand unsupported for more than a couple seconds, but I feel like once he gets that down, he'll walk pretty quickly because he is already familiar with the motion from using his walker.

- Seth has a dentist appointment tomorrow (he still only has 2 teeth: bottom right molar and top left molar).

- Seth has a spinal MRI on October 23. He'll have to be sedated, so please pray for that procedure.

- Mark has his 4th birthday party on Friday of this week because I was getting bored and thinking I needed something to take up more of my time. J/K I scheduled it before I knew we were closing on our house next Monday! Ahhh! At least it's at the Little Gym and they'll do most of the work for me!

- Mark is going to be Mario for Halloween, and Seth is going to be Bowser.

- Mark is still doing Gymnastics and soccer. He really likes both.

- I need to start thinking about Christmas shopping...

- Lovey, Poppa, Zach, Erin, Catherine, Easton, Sophia, and Addis return from Africa on Friday. Please pray for their safety.

- Very glad it's cool outside; wish it would stop raining

- Wow, that was a long bullet point list!
