Thursday 10/14

Thursday we spent the day on the beach. The kids had a blast of course. The weather was perfect! We all walked on the beach just before the sun went down, so the kids could run off any last bits of energy. We put them to bed and talked and watch crazy shows on tv that otherwise there would be no opportunity for:)
While Scott was home, howevr, he came down with a stomach bug:( No good for him. Plus, he was all alone. Sad:(

Wednesday 10/13

Wednesday we left to stay at Katie Moore's beach house in Gulf Shores for a few days. It was me and my three munchkins, and Katie and her 3 munchkins. 2 adults and 6 kids. Let the madhouse begin:)

All of them

While I agree that this is certainly not the best pic of us, it is the most recent:) All of my little ones were home yesterday because school was out, and I loved it. I really do enjoy a house full. Sure, it can really wear me out, but it is always worth it. It makes my heart feel full. Maybe, I'm just feeling nostalgic because the weather is so pretty and the kids can play outside for an extended amount of time. Who knows? I do know, however, that I love them dearly and am thankful that God has given me the opportunity to be their mommy:)

Late...

It's late and I just rolled in from work. Actually, I got off and home a little earlier than average, but late to bed for me, seeing as how I would happily go to bed at 9pm like a maw maw. Our van is in the shop and needs all kinds of brake work, so I am carless. Our sweet neighbor is letting me borrow her van tomorrow to take the kids to school, so that is a blessing! We are waiting on the Lord, to see how He will provide for us. The price to fix everything is much more than we have, but somehow our God always provides for us. So...we are waiting:) Please pray with us as we ask the Lord for His provision!

Community Group on the Deck

Well we spent the evening on the deck sharing about how God's word has changed us, how we canpray for one another, and how chocolate chip peanut butter pie may be the best thing on the planet. Right up there with Amazing Bread! It's nights like this that community feels to easy. Also, continue to pray for Annie's mouth because she is in much more pain than she lets on most of the time and honestly, if she were any more graceful she'd be heavenly! If my wife has brought you encouragement ever, post it so she can feel the love that she has poured out for so many!
Thanks,
Scott

Tooth Update

I met with the oral surgeon on Thursday and it is some sort of cyst, so I will be having surgery Oct. 22 to have it removed. He may have to take the molar it is next to, depending on how wrapped around the root the cyst is. He seemed really positive. He said they would remove it and send it off to pathology to be sure it was benign, but the odds that it isn't is slim. So, really I would rather him go ahead and remove that tooth while I'm asleep! Especially if the cyst grows back. Otherwise, I will have surgery, then when I recover, have a root canal, then if the cyst grows back, I'll have another surgery and he'll definitely remove the tooth at that point! I would rather just keep it short and simple.

:(

Annalee threw up last night:( Please pray that this bug would be mild and that the Lord would protect the rest of the fam from getting it!
