Hats :)

Duncan wanted to put on a hat yesterday.


And then this little miss wanted to as well.


I guess that is what happens when you have two older brothers :)

Felice's Teddy Bear Picnic 3rd Birthday

sweet felice had a teddy bear picnic birthday party

on friday

dana, of course, made everything precious

(and probably did everything at the 11th hour - but you would never know that by the way it all looks!)

sweet fam with the birthday girl

my kids loved the chocolate cupcakes :)

such a typical duncan face

sweet boy

happy monday!

Happy First Day of Fall :)

I got us ready with some fall plants and a fall wreath

(now it is just time for some more cool weather)

Soccer Game #2

jayden had his second soccer game on monday night

i missed the first one because i had to work

(so no pics from that night - jordan had all three by himself at the game - quite the challenge!)

i love how cute they look in their uniforms!

this year is an improvement from last year

but still there is a LONG way to go!

i asked some of the mom's in jayden's class

when do the kids actually "get" soccer,

they said not until first or second grade

jayden did kick the ball more this time

so that was good!

btw -

I LOVED having my zoom lens for the game

such a great addition for sports!

duncan was very fixated on having his soccer ball

sweet boy

the best part of the game -

these cool sports drink bottles

that the boys got after the game

SCORE!

The Kids First Movie

last weekend

the marables invited us to

go see winnie the pooh

at the dollar theater

it was the kids first movie

jayden LOVED it

duncan sat through 1/2 of it

campbell really enjoyed the popcorn :-)

it was a fun experience

and a great way to do it

when it was only $10 (with popcorn)

these cousins are so cute together

it is kind of hard these days

getting a pic of the three of them looking in the correct direction

molly and campbell are a little easier :)

little miss

when we got home

thanks marables for inviting us

it was a fun experience

and a great way to do it!

we love yall!

Mary Beth is Back!!!

yea!!!

mary beth and macy

came back yesterday from

uganda

their flight was delayed from chicago

so we went to cafe express for

a quick dinner before getting her . . .

we have quite a long table with the growing sudan family :)

sadly -

we were a few minutes late in getting there

so poor mb

had to get to the baggage claim

with none of us there

nice.

we all felt horrible.

i guess her plane got in a few minutes early

but

we reunited

and that is all that mattered :)

here she is meeting hallie for the first time

sweet alex and b

(I love how sweet and tender he was with mary beth - so sweet!)

the kids found these random light things to play with

we all made signs-

i guess it would have made a better statement

if we were on time

mary beth and macy's friends who were at the airport

after we left the airport

we headed to our house

for a sudan style

party

chips.and.dips

and

desserts

we are easy to please :)

campbell thought she was as big as the older kids

we are so glad you are back B!

we have missed you so much.

can't wait for you to move back in with us!!!!

thank you for giving your life for the least of these in africa!

great is your reward.
