Hey Friends

Hey Friends
Last Sunday was a very special time for us. It was wonderful to share Luke’s baptism with family, friends and the church. Also our pastor Erik Sheffer was the one to baptize Luke. Our pastors, particularly Joe Lee & Erik have walked with us since the very beginning, so it was so meaningful to have Erik baptize and Joe pray for Luke afterward. Luke also shared his testimony on Sunday, it was so moving- many teary eyes. So very special!

Life has been especially busy here. Our home is going on the market tomorrow. So we are trying to pack up and do all the touch ups that go along with it. We’re hoping to find land and build or to find a home that will serve both families well. Love your prayers in this transitional season. We are open to many options just unsure what direction to go. So we’ll see what happens...

Home schooling is going well. I love being able to have Braet home this year. He is really grasping the concepts we are working on and is starting to learn to put words together. CC loves being in the middle of it all, coloring at the table, looking at the pics in Braet’s books and jabbering with us. She’s our “sweet” (most of the time) distraction! Braet has group classes on Tuesday, Art & P.E., he really enjoys it. B somehow manages to work Star Wars into each pic he makes. Last week however he made a number 9 out of clay and painted it Orange (Micah’s fav # & color). He’s so sweet; it brought tears to my eyes. Wednesday is soccer with Aubreigh, David & Jack- so fun! They are growing so fast.

This Sat we headed out to Butler’s Orchard. Humm… it was a special time, each year we took the kids there. Braet & Micah enjoyed it so, the hay rides, slides, picking pumpkins and I love snapping pics of them, it has become a family tradition over the last few years. I didn’t realize how much just being there would affect me. It was so bittersweet. Great to be there together. Later this week we hope to go back and shoot some pics at the little store there. We love the fall!

So many have communicated that we are in their thoughts and prayers…Thank You! We appreciate it very much! Happy Harvest!
