November 2008

Shawna took these pictures of the red maples in our front yard. THis is the most beautiful they have been since we planted them.


We went camping to Great Planes State Park a few weekends ago. It was a beautiful weekend. Cold but beautiful. This is Dad, Uncle Wes and Aunt Gwyn near the stream.


And this is looking at the stream from where they were. It was so pretty.



In our campsight trying to keep warm!






Shawna and Ryan took a bike ride!




November picts with Isibella. Nana and Isiabella

Isabella and her mommy!


Another shot with Nana. Isabella has stayed at the house a few afternoons this week. It has been fun having her. I am getting stronger. I walked to the corner and back! I can still not sit longer than 20 to 30 minutes at a time but I can tell I am moving faster and doing better!
Love you and thinking of you as I see the trees turn and put on their fall colors!

Fall is here

Jonathan came by on Tuesday to go and vote with us. Isibella really liked him! It was his first chance to hold her. He said usually when she was around there were too many others waiting to hold her. I think he enjoyed holding her!
Don't you love this one! What big eyes you have Isibella!!!


We put a sheet on the floor and let her roll around. She kept trying to get closer to Jonathan.

Jonathan and Isibella




A trip to the zoo. It was a beautiful day. We enjoyed all the fall colors as much as the animals. This is me with Shawna, Nicholas, Dylan and Isabella (in the stroller)




We had to take another picture with Aunt Cindy in it!





And no trip to the zoo would be complete without a picture here!





Last weekend we went to the farm. On our way home we stopped by a field of cotton to take this picture.



This is a farm near Grandpa's . The heads of these sunflowers were pretty big!

Sunday after church in Breckenridge. Krystal and Shawna




On Saturday evening we went out to the lake. Daddy and Shawna fished, I just took pictures.







Shawna even caught one!








This is Shawna walking across the dam





And here is daddy fishing! He didn't catch any but he got a couple bites. It was a beautiful evening. Just before sunset the birds came in to roost. They were so loud! They made enough noise to scare all the fish! Then in just a moment it was quiet. It was so cool!

This weekend we are going to go camping. It will be our first camping trip this fall. Gwyn and Wes and the Girls will come on Saturday. The Perkins can't come, But Nana and Ryan are going to come. Amanda has to work so she can't come. We will be thinking of you! Just think in less than 9 months we will be camping with you probably!!!! It is still hard to believe that you have been in Africa almost 2 years now.
We love you,
Mom
Oh and Keah can you let me know in an e-mail just what kiva bags you meant!
