Last of the Beach...I promise!

We just had such a great time on our family vacation, that I wanted to post a few more photos. I had not downloaded all of the photos from our trip when I started posting them, so I didn't have these photos ready to post. Looking at these again, I am so thankful for the time that our family had together, and I look forward to another beach trip in the future.

Until next time...

What Makes A Baby Happy?

The contents of this little can make our little baby giggle!

See?

She loves them!

Prayer Request

Please pray for my good friend Heather and her husband Dave. They are facing the most difficult trial of their lives as their one month old baby girl died suddenly last night. As you can imagine, they are deeply saddened.

Dave and Heather love God, and therefore are trusting in Him.

More Beach Photos

Here are a few random beach photos...

We attended a Halloween Pet parade which was a hit with the kids... they thought it was hillarious seeing the pets dressed up in costumes. Karis' favorite was a Daschund dressed up in a hot dog costume...that was funny, but I thought this dog was the best. Nasty bull dog in princess/ballerina attire.

Karis at the pet parade - they had face painting, cookies, pumpkin decorating and other activities.

Our family went (by recommendation) to a restaurant called The Red Bar. It was a very odd place - but we had a good time and the kids loved their cheese burger.

Joshua on the beach

Charlotte learned to crawl as I was taking these photos. She loved the sand - and it provided all the traction she needed to really learn how to crawl.

Sweet girl in her pretty baby dress

Mmmm. Gelatto!

I still can't believe how big she it!

Joshua "reading" The Gruffalo"

We have a few more photos to post - I hope to do that this weekend
