PUMPKINS!

This past weekend was such a blessing! Edward and I took Remy to pick out his pumpkin. He absolutely had a blast climbing all over the pumpkin patch and splashing in every mud puddle!! After our softball game we had a bbq and carved the pumpkins with Alicia, Anissa and Jayda. We have such great friends in our life! Remy loves his cousin Jayda so much!!!

MORE FUN!

Here are the pictures of Remy's first ever BANANA SPLIT!
We had a wonderful time enjoying the treat with him.
Thank you Edgar and Alicia for sharing in the fun!





We also had a great time watching Edward and Edgar play basketball this last weekend. In no time at all Remy will be out there with them!

FUN!

Happy Fall... It is possible that I am trying to over-compensate for the fact that I dislike when the weather turns nasty, in any event, we have been trying to make every day an adventure. Last weekend Remy, Samantha and I spent the morning at the park (with a couple layers on!!) lasting all the way until the severe downpour began. After that we headed to the party supply store for streamers and balloons. After Remy's nap, we decorated the kitchen as if we were having a party!! It is nice to wake up each day with streamers and balloons to greet you!




The other evening we played with address labels for over an hour! Remy and I decorated his face, his coloring book and he even pretended he was a dinosaur! I will post those next!

So... I do love the ever-green of the state complimented beautifully by the changing leaves in red and orange, and I really appreciate the moisture in the air. BUT I find that I have a constant need to focus on the unique beauty of the Northwest and appreciate that the rain is a neccessary ingredient in God's balance or I become downheartened with the weather during these months!!

It is important both for my happiness and for the childhood of Rem, that we focus on the joys that make life wonderful. Tonight we are having friends over for a Banana Split Party. I love his face when he delights in something new and MESSY! Stay tuned for those pictures!!
