the Lowes

Mon Night at the Green Turtle<

Mon was great- getting there was a bit rocky though. First much confusion and chaos at the Mc Donald's drive through window, then there was the going the wrong way- u-turn next was the ticket by the State Trooper (who looked old enough to be my baby brother). We were driving on expired tags since July!!! I don't even remember getting a note about this! And then the wrong way again but we finally made it! It was great to see everyone, especially the Lowes, they are such a wonderful family!

So then was the raffle, Luke gave Braeton 3 ticket s to put in any raffle he choose. We put a bunch in an overnight stay and well Braet is the one who won! What a blessing! He won a bat and 2 balls signed by the Oriole Brian Roberts . He was so excited! And then to top it off Mr Brewer heard that he wanted to hit the ball with the signed bat so his brother graciously gave Braet a pro wooden bat that he could hit with- so very kind! I'm surprised he didn't sleep with it last night!

Snap shots from pumkin carving and the back yard! I guess I should have taken a pic when the pumkins we done!! They look great!

We are all looking forward to this evening, make more fun family memories. Braet is going to be a Ninja and CC a butterfly. I'm sure we'll have more pics soon!

Fall Happenings

Shame on me for not posting earlier. There has been so many happenings to report on. I guess I can partly blame that on my laptop dying and my desktop not being setup- I've been computer hoping. No fun! I dearly missed my files- we are so spoiled by technology! We finally - by we I mean Luke =) set up the desktop and he has just hooked up the Internet -now I'm set. So hopefully I will get caught up by next week =)

Well Fall is probably my favorite time of the year. I have to learn to enjoy winter more (after Christmas I'm done with the cold!) Anyway, Mikes was always well in the fall and we have such special memories being together. One of our yearly traditions is Bulters Orchard's Pumpkin Festival, which we love. I actually like to go there twice, once to the festival and once to take pics of the kids! So far we've only gone once this year but I'm working on the second. We also were able to go to a corn maze in DE with the Davis- lots of fam fun!! The kids loved Bulters. Braet chose to do the Pumpkin Chunkin- for those of you who don't know this is a large cannon thing that fires pumpkins out and well Cianne chose the pony rides. It was good time together. We were so suprised at how uch Cianne lived the ponies. We are also enjoying the new house! There are awesome trails to walk and the woods are beautiful.

We recently celebrated Cameron's 21st, and Sherri's 30th ?! =) Where did the time go!

Okay more later for now enjoy the pics!

The Green Turtle

Dear friends,

As many of you are aware, the Lowe family has been going through quite a trial over the last few years, and more specifically the last few months. Matt had recent surgery to remove a brain tumor, but is still dealing with the effects. With medical costs adding up, we are seeking to do all we can to help them out with medical bills. Matt and Helen have 5 wonderful children, and are expecting their 6^th child in late November.This coming Monday, October 27^th, friends of the Lowes will be hosting a fundraiser in their honor at the Greene Turtle Restaurant in Columbia, MD. The Greene Turtle will be giving 10% of the all the proceeds for the entire day back to Matt and Helen. So simply coming in and having lunch or dinner will help in the fundraiser. In addition, we will be having a raffle throughout the day to raise more money for them. The gifts range from restaurant gift cards, a framed redskins jersey, golf packages, Wii bundle package and photography packages.

The location of the Columbia Greene Turtle is 8872 McGaw Road, Columbia, MD 21045. The Greene Turtle has a large restaurant area that is family friendly, so feel free to bring the family. Matt and Helen will be there for most of the day, and I know they would love to see you all there!

If you have any questions about this fundraiser, please contact Dave at Dbrewer@covlife.org.

Hope to see you there,
Friends of the Lowes
