Worship Leader - Me? Wow!

Finally, they have recognized my talents. Mr. Mick called on me, humble E1, to lead a worship song at Wednesday Warriors....on stage......with a microphone!!

Can you even imagine! When I got home, Mom asked me if I was nervous. I said not for that small crowd (of about 30 people), but if it was a concert....then I'd be nervous.

Dad was a little slow on the draw, but he got some of it on camera. 

Apple Orchard with Friends

Ok, this trip to the Apple Orchard was kinda tricky. The problem - the apples were playing hide and seek. We searched high and low for those pesky apples and finally found them at the very end of the row. But you know what? They were worth it!! They are SO delicious. They are Ida Reds and they are super duper yummy!

Here are some pictures of me, E2 and our friends - the Traynors. It was such a fun trip!! Mom was especially thankful for Mrs. Traynor because Mom forgot her purse (she blamed it on something about getting old). So the apples were on Mrs Traynor! What a friend!!

 For the longest time, we thought this one apple was the last one hanging at the orchard - until we finally hit the jackpot in the Ida Red row...

Weekend Fun

What a great weekend! We got to play at Eagle Creek with our cousins! That was super fun! And then today we got to hang out with Grandpa and Grandma - woohoo! Ok, there wasn't much play time involved because they were helping Dad build his new barn, but it was still great to see them! E2 tried to help, but Dad says she's too small. I was busy raking the leaves into a pile - but you see who messed up the pile while I was at church.

Oh well, we'll rake them again tomorrow.

I hope you had a great weekend, too!!

Love,

Video and Pictures - we love fall!

It has been a while since I uploaded a video - so here you go. It is hard to believe that my lil sis is getting so big, but she sure is! It must be because she loves broccoli so much! Here she is dancing around the living room - and then a quick costume change - and some more dancing. She is really a cute lil girl - almost as cute as me. :) Below the video are some pictures of us girls at the park. The leaves are so beautiful that Mom said she couldn't resist taking pictures  - when all we wanted to do was go to the playground.

Enjoy!

Pumpkin Dresses

Mom finished our pumpkin dresses - what do you think? We LOVE them!! She made mine first and then just knew that E2 (whose favorite new word is "puh pim" (pumpkin)) would be green with envy. So we weren't causing her to sin, Mom hurried up and made her one to match. Mom even made me a pair of pants - pretty comfy if I do say so myself. :) 

I love that Mom takes time to make such fun clothes for us! She's the best!

Apple Pickin' Season

Wanna hear something funny? Mom got some candy corn at the store the other day and started singing, "It's the most wonderful time of the year..." I think she is confused. APPLE PICKING is the most wonderful time of the year (well, time of year where there isn't snow on the ground). Here we are picking apples with Mom and Dad on Labor Day - it was so delicious! Mom made a yummy crisp that night to have after dinner. I was sure to eat fast that night! ((hugs)) E1

Fishin' with Family

What a glorious day it was on Saturday! We had some family over for a cookout and then spent some time on the paddle boat out on the water. What a blessing!!  Thank you Lord! We sure missed a couple of peeps that didn't make it (you know who you are) - but enjoyed the ones who came. Here are a couple pictures. ((hugs)) E1
