Family Devotionals

Joshua and my mom have been reading devotionals to the kids in the morning. Although this is taken at night, the boys love to spend time in God's Word. We are very encouraged by this and pray often for their salvation. I hope that you enjoy these movies, the boys are so cute and animated.

Snow!!!!

Sweater, hats, scarves, and long-sleeve shirts all have to do with winter and snow. We have been getting snow for the past few day (although none of it has stuck). It has been very exciting to get some cooler weather and pull out all the sweaters and long-sleeve shirts. Boy, have I had fun dressing the boys. I am hoping that this year they will like the snow and want to play in it. Yeah, snow has come!!!

Peter's First Word

Besides Da, Da that is. Enjoy!

Welcome Fall

As many of you know from my last post, we are having some very unusual weather. We have been having cold temperates in the 40's and 30's and even some snow. It has been very windy here as well. We don't usually get snow until around Halloween, so this is very unusual. I have to say that I am loving this weather very much. Here are some pictures to celebrate fall coming.

Family Day

We took the time on Sunday to spend time as a family. My parents and sister had never been to the zoo, so we decided to all go. We had so much fun and the boys loved the attention and being able to show grandpa and grandma the sights. We saw and feed the graiffes, then went to go feed the birds. That was followed by walking around and then going home before it rained. It was very fun and relaxing. We had a fire going and ate pizza. It was the end of a perfect day.

Update On Us

Hi, everyone. I hope that you are all doing well. We are doing great and keeping busy as always. The boys sure do keep me busy. They are so active that I have to keep ahead of them (which is not always an easy thing to do). With the cold weather coming I am definitely going to have to keep on top of things, because I can't send them outside to get their energy out. There is a mall that has an indoor playground and I plan on taking the boys there as often as I can so that they can get some exercise. Paul is talking more and more. He is making up small sentences and is interacting with me alot more. I am trying to potty train him, which is not going very well. If anyone has any comments on this, please let me know. Paul is enjoying Peter alot more too. Its fun to see them playing together. Peter is very active and enjoys being outside. I am hoping that this year that will motivate them to play in the snow. Peter has been surprising us by saying some words and making animal sounds. Its cute to see him trying to communicate. I am busy with my two little boys and taking care of the house and everything else. I have begun on my Christmas preparations because I know that I would not have time otherwise. I am not a last minute person, it drives me nuts. I try to go to the shop at least once a week to help out in the violin shop while my sister watches the boys. My sister is busy helping me with the boys and going to the shop to help out. She is such a big help to me and I know that she is a help at the shop as well. She enjoys going to the shop and eating lunch with my mom as well. My sister also helps me take care of the house, which is an extreme help. She has been such a blessing to me. My mom and dad have been busy with the shop and all that that goes with it. They do try to take a day off once a week on Fridays, which they like to go and be gone all day. I am glad that they are able to do this because I know that it is very hectic at the shop. Joshua is also busy at the shop and has been able to work in his violin shop. He has some repairs that he is trying to get finished up. There is a tech working for us that wants to take over Joshua's job, which is good because then Joshua would be able to go full time in the violin side. Well, that's about it. Hope you are all doing good. God bless each and everyone of you.
