Jeff's Birthday

Last week was Jeff's birthday, Monday to be exact.  But on Saturday we went over to his parent's house to have dinner and celebrate.  Here are a couple of pics.

On Monday, his actual birthday, it happened to be a day that the boys had no school, but I needed to be at school, so he took the day off to spend with them.

On a sadder note, this week, there were some deaths that we heard about that were very sad and tragic.  I can't imagine what these families must be going through.  My prayers are with them, and if you pray, perhaps you can pray for them too.

Pumpkin Picking

This year we went to Kruger's Farm on Sauvie's Island to pick pumpkins and enjoy the fall fun.  We started out walking through the corn maze.  The boys were able to locate every number in the maze.  They were very proud of themselves.

After that we climbed on the hay ride and rode out to the pumpkin patch to pick our pumpkins.  Everybody came back with a nice pumpkin.  The rule is, everyone has to carry it out and carry it home.

After the pumpkins were safely put away in the car, we enjoyed some pumpkin pie and caramel apples.  What a tasty treat!  We also bought some yummy farm fresh produce.

We had a great day!

Soccer and Sam

Things have been so busy for me lately.  I haven't had time to post much.  But here are some pictures from soccer and from Sam's presentation.  More to come later!
