We took the kids to a local pumpkin festival last weekend. My parents, niece, and Shane's mom went with us. We had a blast! The festival is held at a Christmas tree farm...I'm sure we will go there to get our tree this year.

October '09
We are finally getting some much needed rain after a summer drought. Thank you, God! With the rain also comes the cooler temperatures. I love the beginning of fall but as each winter goes on I always look forward to the beginning of spring. The cooler weather also reminds me that Christmas is sneaking up again. My goal is to start shopping early this year; like it is every year but never achieved. Last year it was due to lack of time. This year's excuse may be lack of money. Maybe God is trying to remind me that Christmas is not about gifts; it's about HIM!
Grant got his first cold last weekend. Although he is much better now he still has the occasional congestion. The only approved medication on the shelves for him for any kind of congestion is Zyrtec, which is an antihistamine. It has taken the edge off but never completely cleared him up. Luckily no ear infection this time and the doctor also said his throat looked fine. Jeff has also had some seasonal allergies but nothing out of the ordinary for him. Shane and I are also battling with a cough.
Jeff is having an awesome year at school so far. He is on a 4th grade reading level (he's in 3rd grade) and still going above and beyond in math. Testing for the TAG program is later in the year and if he qualifies for it he will begin the program next year in 4th grade. It amazes me how much of a young man he is turning in to. It seems that he was Grant's age just yesterday!
More updates to come!
