Meet PETE!!!


The newest member of our family!! He is our 10 week old boxer puppy that we picked up today. :) A few weeks ago, MWC asked if we could, "PLEASE get a dog today!?!?!" RDC and I looked at each other and said, "why not?" (Yes I am sure that we could have come up with a THOUSAND reasons to say no--but we are dog people and have missed having one in our family. :) The search began for a boxer since RDC has always wanted a boxer. So today a little girl's dream (and a little boy at heart's dream) was fulfilled and we have a boxer puppy. :) The kids are already arguing over who he is going to sleep with and get to walk him on his leash. :) He already seems pretty attached--wanting to always be right with us. ~~under somebody's feet or in someone's lap. :)














































He was laying on the kitchen floor and MWC walked into the den and got his blanket (that they sent home with us) and covered him up with it! :)

Some fall fun!!

We have been CRAZY busy around here doing LOTS of fun fall things!!!

We started the month with me being in Vancouver on a mission trip with some people from our church!! All I can say is AWESOME!! Words can't describe knowing that you are EXACTLY where God wants you to be~~and that is what that week was all about for me. We went there to support and serve a team ~~who mostly are from
Misissippi~~ who is planting a church in downtown Vancouver. LOVED every minute of it!!!

Then by the time I got home the state fair was here!!!! :) So we took our annual trip with our precious friends the H's. We love going with them because they are so much fun and they have a little girl who is MWC's age and a little boy who is 6 months younger than JDC. So it works out GREAT!!!







































We were also able to go the Pumpkin Patch with some other precious friends the Bs! We rode the hayride, ran in the hay maze and were able to find treasures in the "corn box". :)

























I LOVE fall and all the fun things we get to go and do!! It WEARS us out, but I would not change making the memories with special friends for ANYTHING!!!!
