November 2016

By far, the most special moment of November was the kids being baptized into the family of God.  I cannot express the excitement, pride, and relief knowing that two of the most important people in my life will be with me in heaven.  Here are a few preview pictures.  The rest are further down in the month of November pictures.




Soccer season party with the yellow jackets team!  It was such a learning year for Colson playing up in 10U and with a very intense coach.








Curt was asked to say a few words about our kids and the choice that we made to raise them loving Christ.  He was so nervous and proud!  He got choked up showing how much he adores our kids.

The hardest project to date!  John Hancock for the Smithsonian/Colonial Day project.


The Sanders kids came over to play!

I see a ping pong table in our future!







Family pictures were taken in Hermann Park this year by Valarie.  They really turned out beautifully!  I will post them later.  These were pictures that we took going around town after we took our pictures.





Thanksgiving with the Alford Family.  My parents were out of town because my grandma has been in the hospital since October 23rd.  She suffered a colon infection, UTI, pneumonia.  Mom and Dad went to be with her.


They love their older cousin, Isa!
The Sanders Family invited the kids to go camping with them for a night and then we joined them for the next night and brought them home.  They had a blast fishing, riding bikes, pogo sticking, and just playing games!



Movie time to see Trolls!  So cute!
