I hope you all had as a Happy of a Thanksgiving Day as I did! It was a nice sunny day with lots of good food and some of my favorite people!

The children took advantage of the warm weather and played croquet.

8 of the 10 children that run around here. Cami and Cole are the only ones missing.

Tayler, Alex, Erin and Jake

I'm flying out in the morning to spend some time with Mike and Anna. I'm really looking forward to seeing them but will miss this lovely weather!

Haley's birthday and a day at the beach!

Haley turned 10 on Sunday so we celebrated with homemade ice cream and two cakes! :)

Yesterday we spent the afternoon at the beach and pool. It was a perfect day!

First day in Florida!

David Michael

Update: David passed away yesterday afternoon. Mike and Anna are going to drive out here today and get Jordan, then the funeral will probably be Tuesday in Mike's parents area about 2 hours north of us.

Keep them in your prayers!

I have a new nephew! David Michael was born to Mike and Anna yesterday. He was born at 31 weeks and weighs 3 lbs 1 oz and is 16 inches long. Please pray for him as his lungs don't seem to be working well and the doctors are concerned and are talking of transporting him to another hospital!

Well, Jordan ended up staying longer because the hospital isn't letting children visit because of the flu. She now has permission to visit again but has be get over her cold first. She's been here over a week now and we don't know yet when she will go home. Maybe this week-end.

Getting acquainted with her cousins.

Fall fun in the leaves!
