Sweet Baby Girl





We had child dedication in our Sunday service. This was the first since Emelia joined our family and we definitely wanted to participate. She loves attention and had prepared herself for such. The sweetest thing was how she spent the rest of the service turning page by page in her new Bible. Rather than the typical gift Bible for a baby, she was presented with a children's study Bible, very nice. Emelia could not have been more proud of any gift. She is certainly a child that gives us a parenting workout and I guess God certainly knows those areas we need work on. We could not imagine our family without her. Her spice and spunk keep us going.

Just a little post to say we are vey proud of Evelyn. She got her first 1st grade report card and “A”ced it. This is her first report card with letter grades. Great job, Evelyn! Yesterday was celebration assembly at her school. The photos were taken there. She had a smile on her face in one photo because she got checked out early, went out to lunch with us and spent the afternoon at Grandma's.

Autumn Moon






We have enjoyed the weekend, adding some extra family time. This weekend was mid-autumn or autumn moon festival so we celebrated with a little version of our own. We took snacks, including moon pies (not moon cakes), to the camp. We were able to see a beautiful round moon prior to the clouds rolling back in. The girls and I have been to "the land" with Scott a few times lately. It has been fun but the mosquitoes were tough this time since the wet moved in.

The additional photo is of my little Wildcats. :)
