A Few More Things

Forgot also to mention Nolan had his first field trip in kindergarten. They visisted a pumpkin patch and learned all kinds of things. Also Colin sang his heart out in his Thanksgiving Program at school. Finally, here is a picture of a wild fox the boys spotted in our back yard a few weeks ago. Oh also a picture of Grandpa and Aunt Cara with all the grandkids at the beach in October.

Catching Up

Lots of catching up to do here. We had a great Halloween. Matthew actually dressed up which is HIGHLY unusual. I sat out with the neighbors passing out candy while Marty took the boys around the neighborhood. Afterwards, their friends, the Greely boys (also 3 boys) came by for a visit.

We went camping the next day (Nov 1st) to Palmetto State Park near Seguin. What a great time. They boys fished, kayaked, geocached with GPS units, hiked, etc. We will definitely need to do this again.

Baseball is finally over (for now) - thank goodness. Matthew's team won the championship!!! It was so wonderful because they lost many of the regular season games but won out in the tournament. Nolan enjoyed t-ball but says he wants to play soccer next. That should be fun.

We are off to Ft. Worth today for Thanksgiving with the cousins. We are praying that we won't trade viruses because all 3 cousins have been running fever, etc, and Colin has a bad cold. That's about all for now - I need to get packing!

Oh - one more important event. Cara and Marty ran the Inaugural Rock N Roll Marathon here in San Antonio!! Marty ran the whole thing (26 miles) and Cara ran half. They both did great. Marty limped for about a week after but seems recovered now. Great Job!

Obama Wins

I know you know by now but I had to add this entry. I will so enjoy going back and looking at this in the months to come. I am so excited and so relieved. Praise God. As one of my dearest friends, Jenny, put it in a text to me last night "America has been redeemed."
