September Memories

September has brought cooler temperatures, slower growing grass, fewer leaves, and tons of fun! We love fall and so far this season has been one to enjoy.

The month started our with our first 70 degree day in what feels like forever. We enjoyed the weather while taking in the sights at the Tulsa Zoo with Nana and Papa. We all had a wonderful time. The boys were both enamored by all the animals and couldn't wait to see what was next. The highlight for Eli was definitely getting to ride the camel. For weeks afterward that was the first thing he told anyone we saw. We can't wait until next year to make a return trip. Maybe we will take in the aquarium too!

Leigh Ann started her first Bible Study Fellowship class this month. They are studying the Acts of the Apostles. It has been both fun and challenging. Elijah also enjoys going to Bible class during this time. Unfortunately, Thad is not enjoying it at all and cries most of the time each Wednesday. Please pray that he will get over his separation anxiety and enjoy this time of Bible songs, stories, and play too.

Our big project this month was painting and moving the shed. The paint was flaking badly and it was in an awkward spot in the backyard. After power-washing and sanding the painting went fairly quickly. Then it was time for more of a challenge. Moving that beast took two days and several failed attempts. We ended up purchasing three pieces of huge PVC pipe and lowering the shed onto them. We then used the car and a rope system to pull the shed forward, push it sideways, and roll it back into place. I must say that we were pretty proud of our efforts when it was all said and done. By moving it our yard feels much bigger. Now we just have to plant some grass and we will be good to go!

The end of the month brought two very special visitors: Ms. Candy and Bailey. Candy is a dear friend of ours from Glenhaven and Bailey's new mama. Elijah was so excited that she was coming that he asked multiple times each day that week if it was Friday yet. We enjoyed babysitting Bailey and had several good laughs over the antics of he and Murphy. What a special time for everyone!

Well, we are already a few days into October and more fun and adventures have happened in our lives. You will have to wait and tune in next month for the full report! Until then, enjoy the pictures and God bless!
