Prayer Request

-Please keep the Kirby family in your prayers (Larry, Joyce and Nate). Their daughter and sister Elizabeth was killed today as a result of domestic violence. The Kirby family lived in Savannah several years ago and attended Savannah Church of Christ. Nate, Elizabeth and I were all close in age. My first marriage ended due to domestic violence, I consider myself lucky. My heart goes out to the Kirby family as well as the Wilder family (Elizabeth's husband's family). I don't know details, I don't want to know details. I don't know Elizabeth's husband or his family. I do know that there are 2 families hurting tonight and they need our prayers and God's comfort.

Family Night

-We enjoyed some much needed family time tonight. Daddy grilled some yummy hamburgers for supper and for dessert we roasted marshmallows. The boys loved being outside and were amazed by the fire. We really enjoyed our time together, with all the craziness that has been happening the past couple of months it was good to just take a break and focus on the family.

Halloween 2009

-We all enjoyed Halloween this year, we (Daddy and Mommy) enjoyed watching the boys trick-or-treating and the boys (Daniel and Caden) enjoyed dressing up and getting candy. We chose to take the boys to the Pumpkin Festival at Moss Wright park in Goodlettsville. There were several activities to enjoy - bounce houses, games, a hayride, watching a dance team perform (one of Daniel's favorites), a bonfire for roasting marshmallows and making smores and of course Trick or treating (area businesses and churches set up tents along the walking trail).
-Daniel enjoyed saying "trick or treat" at every tent, getting candy and then putting the candy in his bucket. He didn't want to carry his bucket (too much work?) so Daddy and Mommy carried the bucket and Daniel put the candy into the bucket. Daniel was very good at saying thank you to the people as they gave him the candy. (We got frustrated, annoyed with a group of older kids that were behind us and being very impatient and pushy. I(Mommy) actually made a comment in hopes they would hear (they had also "cut" inline). The saddest part was that the parents were with these rude kids and didn't do anything to try to stop them.
-Caden was very happy with the first sucker he got. He proudly held on to the sucker all night.
-The boys were both asleep when we got home. We carried them into the house, took their costumes off and got them dressed and into bed without really waking them up.
-What a fun night, lots of memories were made - Isaac's first Halloween, Daniel and Caden's first trick or treating (where they semi-understood what was going on), Caden's first sucker (he ate it in the van on the way home).
