Verse for the day....

“Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.”- Colossians 3:12-15

This verse just touched me today and was a reminder of what we are supposed to do as Christians. Blessings on your day.

Snow...

Well, we are up in Mason City for the weekend and what did we wake up to? A thin, but still beautiful blanket of snow (hence the reason for the background change!:)) It is chilly, but no longer snowing. Maybe we can hope for some more throughout the day!

The Early Verdict is In...

A sweet baby girl

AND....


A sweet baby BOY!

This will be confirmed at our next ultrasound on December 5th, but I am pretty sure about what I saw on that screen! :)

Mason City...

Matt is on his rotation in Mason City. We sure do miss him, but we got to go up this past weekend, had fun trick or treating with our friends the Gaut's and decorated a little Halloween gingerbread Haunted House.

The Leaves Keep on Falling...

Last week our trees dropped most of their leaves. It took us awhile to rake, but the girls had fun jumping into the HUGE pile!

Trunk or Treating

This past Sunday our church hosted their first ever Trunk or Treating event. People decorate the trunks of their cars and pass out treats from them. It was a lot of fine minus the extreme winds and chilly weather! Here are a couple of pictures of the girls treating through the parking lot! There were themes from Jonah and the Whale, to hippies, to the Garden of Eden to Hawkeye Galore! It was a great event and we can't wait to decorate our own trunk next year!

Our little Raggedy Ann and Egyptian Princess

We have had a Halloween party already and the girls got to wear their costumes to dance class today. They get to wear them to church family night tomorrow night where they will go to a nursing home visiting the residents and than of course trick or treating on Friday! We have gotten some good use out of them this year! Happy Halloween!

Face Painting?

Elizabeth got awfully quiet the other night as I was cleaning up dinner. I looked in her room and she was in front of her dresser mirror, talking to herself as she was "face painting" her face with black magic marker. Thank goodness it wasn't a Sharpie. Check out her work!

Pumpkin Carving, Fall Fun and Baby Tummy!

We have had fun going to the pumpkin patch, bobbing for apples, playing in the corn bin and carving our pumpkins. The girls didn't like the "goo" so much in the pumpkins, but it was fun nonetheless. And as you will see, we had to have four pumpkins on the table (we couldn't forget the babies!) My tummy continues to grow as you can see! YIKES! Things are going well though and that is a true blessing! Hope you all are enjoying these beautiful fall days!
