Greek for Grace or Undeserved Gifts. We all have them, learning to recognize them before it's too late, that's another story. Hopefully through this blog we can share what we have been graced with and share our stories about our "undeserved gifts."

I know I know.....












So...it's been a busy few weeks for us! October brings a whole bunch of birthdays and of course Halloween/Fall events at school and church. Where did we leave off?
October 11th we celebrated Baby John's 2nd birthday. For those of you who don't know-John is/was one of my childcare kiddos. I had been watching him since he was about 5 months old. October 11th was his 2nd birthday and also his last day here. His daddy got a great job about 3 hours away. It was honestly like losing one of my kids! We miss him and the girls ask about him all the time. We keep in touch with his parents and he has since started at a pre-school.
That weekend was also the weekend of Mia and Aidan's birthday party. We had a combo one since they would have ended up at each others parties with pretty much the same kiddos. We did it at a place called Radijazz and had a great time. Mia got a Hannah Montana cake and the kids ran themselves exhausted! Chase had a ton of fun jumping into the foam volcano with Uncle Billy!
That next week was the Fall Carnival at Mia's school and the kids got to play games, enjoy a petting zoo and ride some ponies. The lady who owns the ponies said we could go out anytime for Chase to do some hippotherapy-equine therapy for a really ridiculously low cost and bring the whole family! We plan on heading out there one of these Saturdays when t-ball is over. Yup-the girls started T-ball. They had fun the first few times and now they are pretty much over it.
The end of October brought us bronchial infections! Fun stuff. Even miss Devynn had it. She had to bave breathing treatments on a nebulizer but tolerated it very very well. We have missed out on a significant # of T-Ball games but the girls aren't too concerned with T-ball anyway.
Mia's b-day was on a Tuesday so she got to bring cupcakes to share at school and was so excited to tell everyone she is now officially 5!
Halloween was fun! We went to Fall Fest at our church again this year! Kailee was a puppy dog, Chase was Spiderman, Devynn was a jaguar, Billy went as a teenager (ya-I know) and Mia went as Hannah Montana-again! I actually got into the spirit of things this year and went as a fairy. Todd was a dog catcher and had Kailee on a leash!
Well, that's our October synopsis....November has already started out busy but more on that tomorrow-I think...
