October Fun

Hurricance Florence affected so many people's lives. The impact on our life wasn't nearly as big but it did change our September plans. We all looked forward to the beach and the pastor's retreat. James and I were to go to the beach, KG and c to Nana/Papa's, the boys to Crusaders' houses, and V to Grandma's. Plans changed and only the girls were able to to on their trip. Roads were flooded all over NC. V kept asking "when the roads get fixed, can I go to Grandma's?" Well, in October, V went. Here's one picture from his fun trip!

More Oct Fun

Tooth buddies! These two both lost the same tooth shortly before turning 6 in Oct and Nov.

a dog and his boy. she pulled him up the hill!

We were so excited to see our friend/ neighbors who recently moved to Savannah. c and her friend G had so much fun playing together. Pretty neat story how met and how they sold their house. One morning while James was in Korea, their dog jumped the fence and chased our chickens. I ran out to save the chickens and saw G's Mom dressed 80s style trying to call their dog. That afternoon we met again at soccer practice. That strange meeting led to lots of days of G and c talking across the fence and playing together in our backyard. Many tears about them leaving but God worked out good in the move. Long story short- one of our closest friends ended up buying their house and now lives right behind us! 

soccer is more fun in Grandma's lap!

celebrating our newest reader! c finished 100 Easy lessons so we celebrated with chick filA and picking out her new Bible!
