October Is Here/Help Us Decide!!

I've decided that October is my favorite month of the year. Why? Well because fall is my favorite time of year, and October is the month that it usually begins to cool down and feel like fall. Now that we are in Florida, fall is just not quite the same. In fact, today, the last day of September, it got up to about 88 degrees. That's just not right. So I'm looking forward to some cooler days ahead.

The kids are doing great. Kenzie and Will are really starting to interact with each other. She loves it when he talks to her and plays with her. She giggles and makes all kinds of noises. Today he even started to sing a little song to her that mom and dad sang to him and also sing to her. When he does she is just totally mesmerized and looks at him the entire time without making a noise. I think they will probably play pretty well together.

This past Sunday night we went to McDonalds with a few other young couples from church and Will got to sit at a booth with his buddy Aidan. They sat across from each other and ate their dinner and then they shared an Oreo McFlurry. They had a great time. After we got home Will said he wanted Aidan to come over the next day. He loves his buddies from church.

I also booked our reservation for our anniversary next year. Tammy has never been to Disney, so we will be spending a week there next September. We haven't decided if we want to bring the kids yet or not. Kenzie will be about 16 months so she will be plenty big enough to leave with someone. We just have to decide if it will be too much of a hassle to take her and Will, or if they will enjoy it enough to make it worthwhile. I'm sure Will will enjoy it, just not sure about her. Oh well, we have about a year to figure it out. Maybe some friends like Jamison can tell us what their experience was like taking their little ones. I've posted a poll on the right hand side of the blog where you can vote on whether or not we should leave our 4 year old and 16 month old at home or take them with us. By the way, that's the ages they will be when we go, not how hold they are now.

Hope the weather is beautiful where you are, wherever you are. Enjoy the fall!

Another busy week...

We had another busy week in our house. Last Friday night Will and I went to the Ed White HS Football game to help Josh up in the press box. I kept stats for him and helped him see who was doing what on the field so he could call out the names of the players on the field. It was a lot of fun, plus when the monsoon came right before halftime, we were inside the press box and stayed dry.

Saturday was a fun day that included watching Miami beat up on Texas A&M. Sundays are always busy. Not to mention we had 3 members that had surgery last week. It usually works like that. No one will be in the hospital for a while and then all of the sudden several of them are there at once. They all seem to be doing much better though and are all now home.

We are all doing well here. The weather is finally cooling off. One thing I really miss about living a little farther north is the cool fall weather. Tomorrow the high here is only supposed to be around 79. Too bad I'll be inside working all day.

I'm working on getting pictures off my camera, so hopefully I'll be able to post some pictures on here soon of Will and Kenzie. Here's one of my favorites from her short life here so far...

Bad Blogger

Ok, so this happens to me every once in a while. I just don't blog for a time and then I come back with a vengeance. Now, I'm not saying I'm going to do 100 times better, but at least some better. It just seems that with 2 kids now, it's a lot tougher to find time to get on here and blog.

The family is doing well. Will just celebrated his 3rd birthday and is a big boy! Kenzie is just a sweetie and always gives her daddy a smile when I talk to her. Tammy is just good to put up with me, so she gets a lot of credit. The church work is going well. We have been growing this year. We have had a few families to come from elsewhere and place membership, but also have had some baptisms as well. I really enjoy working there and am surrounded by great leadership and great people at church. I feel very blessed.

I look forward to the fall weather. That's the downfall of living so far south, it stays hotter longer. I love the fall season and of course college football. So, this is a start, I'll try to update more as I go.
