A Must Read...for Everyone!

Hey so I was browsing through the new non-fiction books at the library. I love to read! A title caught my attention..."Jim & Casper Go To Church." Immediately my wheels start spinning trying to figure out what this book could possibly be about. So I took it off the shelf to inquire further. The book is about...A believer, an atheist, an unlikely friendship... So the title says! Definitely something I knew I needed to read. It's written by Jim Henderson and Matt Casper. They chose 12 churches to visit throughout the country. This book is full of answers to tough questions from their perspectives. None of these churches knew this was going on until the book was published. So if you want to see what their findings were or you have similar questions then check out this book at the library! I'm halfway through it and can't put it down. Makes me wonder what people think when they come visit our church...

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

My inspirational thought for the day!

Ever Growing

Lazy bums on a snowy day.

"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be."

Psalm 139: 13-16

Hayven is now 8lbs 4oz and 21inches long and ever growing...

Harvest Time

These are pics to show how we are enjoying Fall! Jayda loved playing games at the Harvest Hoe Down we had at our church. She got lots of candy that we are ALL enjoying!

Here are the girls all dressed up in their costumes ready to go to the Harvest Hoe Down.
Jayda and mommy had fun coloring with leaves.

Jayda has discovered how much fun leaves are. She loved throwing them in the air.

Here is the haunted house Jayda made at the library in the morning during story time. Grandpa and Grandma came too.

Fall Fun

Daddy raked up big piles of leaves for Jayda to jump in.

Laughing hysterically while throwing leaves in the air.

POP ROCKS & HAPPY GIRLS

Hayvens first real bath in her little bath tub.

The happy girls

Jayda tried pop rocks for the first time. It was hilarious watching her. She kept saying, "I hear it." Of course she thought they felt funny too.
