Halloween 2014

 Our carved pumpkins!

Drew went trick or treating at school today.  He's a football player.

 Amelia is a cat.

 Ava is..(you guessed it)... a cat.

 Jenna is a goldfish.

Before trick or treating tonight!

Ava drew this picture for her religious education class.

Couldn't get the best photo, but here are two very tired people tonight...

LGSF Conference, Columbus, OH

Mom and I spent the weekend in Columbus Ohio at the 3rd annual LGSF Conference.  It was nice to get away and to learn and meet up with friends.  Thanks to Dave for holding down the fort while I was gone!!

 Andrew's back after his allergy tests this past Friday.  My suspicions are confirmed.  The three red bumps (the only one showing a reaction out of fifteen or so allergens)... dog, horse and CAT.

Oreo is with our neighbor now and we are hoping and will do everything we can to find him a permanent home.  He's such a good cat.

13 years ago

you were born way too early and not strong enough to survive.  You are and will always be our Jacob Angel.

Ava is 9!!

 Happy 9th Birthday to our Ava!!

Barbie Cake!

Ava invited a few friends over to have cake and then tackle the corm maze at night at Gaver Farm.

 The bouncing pillow!

We were able to make it through the corn maze before it started raining!
