Who am I?

Can you guess who I am? (answer below)



Food from Israel






more food



Looking at thistle brought back from Israel.











We had some people from our church that visited Israel this summer. They wanted to share the experience with us. So they cooked us a meal and showed us lots of pictures and "stuff" they brought back. It was really interesting. The food was different but good. To add to the fun they had us dress as a "Bible character". We had lots of fun guessing who everyone was. Did you guess who I was? If you guessed Noah's wife, you are almost right. That's actually what I intended to be, but someone else came as Noah's wife. So I then became Noah's daughter-in-law. :)

Scarred for life....

My poor baby girl. Megan was on the bed today and, according to her, tried to scoot up on her pillow and hit the headboard. She had a nice gaping wound that took 6 stitches to close up. They used disolvable stitches, so at least we won't have to go to get them taken out. Daddy had to stay with her while they sewed her up, and I took Bethany for a walk. It has been a very stressful day for this momma! I found out that I DO NOT handle emergencies very well. Of course it took about 45 minutes to find James, so that did not help either. She is acting fine and is still wanting to go to Bible class tonight, so I guess we are all going to survive! Phew! That was a close one....

Pictures.

I will post new pics soon. Keep checking back!

Volleyball

We went to Mom and Dad's this weekend to watch Shai play volleyball. She did so well! She got the ball over the net on most of her serves! YEAH! Her team won all three games they played that day! We went to Pizza Hut afterwards to celebrate. How fun! It took us forever to get down there Friday night. We had to fight the A&M/OU traffic. They played on Saturday night and I guess everyone headed down on Friday. Poor Ags lost by 1 point! Last night, however, we made it home in 3.5 hours even with stopping 3 times. We were so excited to get home and get in bed "early". Well, we pulled up to the house and our garage door was open. I am almost positive I closed it when I left Friday. So we called the police and they came and checked everything out for us. I guess I am just going to have to be more diligent about closing the door. I have checked and can't find anything missing. I'm just glad no one took advantage of my mistake. Hope you all had a great weekend as well.

Ear infection

Poor Bethany! She has been kind of sick for a couple of weeks. She started some yucky coughing on Monday. By wednesday she was fussy and her snot was all gunky. I took her to the doctor on Friday and of course she has an ear infection. We have had a few long nights. If she doesn't sleep tonight I will be calling the doctor in the morning to get some different meds. Please pray that we she gets better and we all get to sleep tonight! I am sooooooo tired!

Halloween

We had a great Halloween. Megan was the prettiest "Cinderella in a white dress" aka Bride, I've ever seen. She was complete with glass slippers and all! She originally wanted to be Tinkerbell, but changed her mind about a week before. Bethany made the cutest "Flower Girl"! She wore Megan's flower costume from her first halloween. Some friends of ours had a party at their house and we took all the kids trick-or-treating in their neighborhood. Bethany had been coughing for a couple of days, so she stayed inside with Daddy. It was really cold that night, so our little bride was ready to go home after about 2 blocks. That was more than okay with me! James borrowed a costume from friends. It was really cool. He even won fourth place at work. Hope your Halloween was safe and happy without too many tricks and lots of treats!

Weekends & Stuff

We have been BUSY! I keep meaning to update but just haven't sat down to do it. A couple of weekends ago we had a fun weekend. Friday night Megan and I went to a "sleepover". We had a good time. Megan spent the night with Sierra for the first time. We watched movies, did a little scrapbooking, and visited with each other. Bethany stayed with Daddy that night. I think she did pretty well. That Saturday nite was Date Night. Some friends and I got together and had a "date night" at one of their houses. It was nice to get together with our friends without having any interruptions from our children. We plan on doing it again in a couple of weeks. Last weekend was equally as busy. Friday we had a party with some friends from church. It was not our usual "Fall Party", but we had a good time anyway. The kids dressed up and played games. James dressed up in his suit as "Father of the Bride". We had hot dogs and oohed and ahhed over how cute the kids were. That Saturday we went to Zac & Hillary's to play games and watch a movie. There were several of us there. More good times with friends! Of course Tuesday was Halloween, see other post for those details. Then this weekend we went to Mom and Dad's, see other post! We have been very busy, but wouldn't have it any other way. Hope all is well with you all. Drop us a line sometime and let us know how you are doing.
