By the way

By the way, the new background is from LeeLou, and there is a link to their website, if you scroll down a little. Their page for free layouts is undergoing some construction right now, but if anyone is interested, they have the neatest backgrounds and layouts for your blog.

Almost Halloween

Haven't updated the blog lately as James has been out of town, and we have been super busy all week. I don't have any updates, but thought I'd put up a new background for Halloween (better late than never!). And I'll have pictures of the kids in their costumes (hopefully) in the next few days.

Circus

These are some pictures from the circus last Sunday. Emily got a free ticket from the Summer Reading Program at the library, so of course we had to go! It was the first time the kids had seen the circus, and they loved it. Nathan was completely still and quiet in his seat the entire time, he was so absorbed in the show. Emily of course, loved all the animals. We sat in the nosebleed section, and we were up so high, we missed trapeze performers because the rafters blocked our view! But it was a lot of fun anyway.

Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday was the last day of fall break, so we went to the pumpkin patch with Grandma and Papa. It was a beatiful day for playing outside- the kids had a great time picking out different kinds of pumpkins to decorate.

Not much new going on here lately. We are all still reeling from the OU-Texas game. Oh well, maybe next year (ha). Emily went to the pediatrician yesterday for her 6 year checkup and got her flu shot. She was not too happy about that, but since she held still and didn't pitch a fit, she got a little beannie baby puppy (the one she's holding in the picture) afterwards. I don't think she has let go of him since yesterday. He even went to Sunday School with us. She named him Biscuit because Grace told her he looks like the puppy in the Biscuit books (which he does!). She and Nathan have been outside playing all afternoon. This is a picture of all the neighbor kids in the wagon last night- I thought it was pretty cute.
