Nate's Schoolwork - Phone Pics

A printer?  Why?  He might need to print off something to give to Mickey?  He might need to print off a coloring page?  What could have been going through his head?  Cracks me up!

At his well-check.  He doesn't know yet that a shot is coming.

Thankful Thursday - Medical History

If being thankful for medical history seems odd to you, then you are probably not adopted or don't have an adopted child.  Throughout most of my life, I have known nothing about my medical history.  Forms I filled out at doctors' offices always contained the phrase "I am adopted and do not know my medical history".  People who are not adopted or are not adoptive parents probably don't think about how much of a loss this can be.  I was blessed to meet biological family members.  Meeting them has blessed me in so many ways, but one of the greatest blessings has been that now I know so much more about my medical history.  Yesterday, I was filling out lots and lots of paperwork for a doctor visit for Cade, and I was able to include helpful information from MY medical history, and for that I am truly thankful.

Summer Zoo Trip with Cousins - More Phone Pics

While my niece and nephew were visiting, we were able to meet up with some other cousins at the zoo. 

Six Flags with My Niece and Nephew-Phone Pics

My niece and nephew came to visit.  We had great fun at Six Flags.  They are both daredevils!  My kinda kids.

Ran into a friend from church.  That was an added bonus.

My poor niece was stuck with an aunt who has only boys and is NOT an expert with girl hair.

They were most excited about the cool coke machine at the pizza place.

Mommy Guilt Monday

Carving a pumpkin is one of our yearly traditions. The boys look forward to it and enjoy doing it. Here is last years creation.

And here is this year's creation

What? You don't see anything? That can't be right. I would never have NOT completed an important tradition with my boys. Let's look at this year's carved pumkin.

Whoops. That's okay, I have wanted to roast pumkin seeds every year. This was the year to do that. Let's see how that worked out.

Let's pray I do better with Christmas!

To Papa: You don't look old but all of your hair is white.

What do you think, is that a compliment?
