Farm Visits

By
We have had TWO farm visits this week.  On Thursday, I got to accompany Leah on her very first school field trip.  Her preschool class visited a local farm where we ate lunch, had a hay ride out to a corn maze, found the pumpkin patch, picked pumpkins, and then played on a park and visited animals at the petting zoo.  It was very fun, and we had a beautiful day for it.  Today I took the kids to another farm nearby that has a lot of fun things for kids to do in the fall.  There were tons of activities to do in addition to picking pumpkins for our family carving night.  Wyatt fell in LOVE with the pony there ("woof-woof," he kept saying!), and also really enjoyed playing in a big play area filled with corn!  Leah had a blast jumping on this giant bouncer, going down big slides, and hanging out with her friends.  Now, they are both sleeping soundly by 7:30pm.  Woo-hoo!

Aaaaaaaattttttt Llllaaaaassstt....

Greetings friends, Thanks to all your prayers and support over these last months, my job search is finally over.  It ended where it began, in the principal's office at Marian High School, a Catholic high school in Mishawaka, IN, about 5 minutes from our house. I will be teaching 11th and 12th grade English-- 4 sections of honors Junior composition, and 1 Senior world literature course.  Both Nicole and I are very excited about this opportunity, as we will now be on the same schedules with breaks and will, of course, have the summers off to travel and visit all of you, our family and friends. I am observing the teacher who is resigning over the next week, and I will begin on my own Monday, November 3, just in time for Nikki to go into labor, necessitating my finding a sub for a week or so?!  Oh well, what can you do? Thanks again to all of you who have prayed earnestly that this challenging time would pass.  We are truly blessed by all of you.

Entertainment

By
Leah is singing, singing, singing these days... Some nights we hear her singing all kinds of songs to herself after we put her to bed. One of her new favorites is "Twinkie Doodle." We tried to teach her how to say "Yankee" for a while and then figured, why bother? We like this Twinkie Doodle character better. The other video is her very first knock knock "joke." Often while I am cooking dinner she hangs out in the kitchen with me, being my helper and entertainment in one.

The Nursery Progression

By
Here are some pictures of the nursery in stages.  The first few show just plain primed walls with painting tape.  The next couple show us starting to paint, followed by the adventure that was putting up the chair rail.  The last photos are finishing the painting, doing some touch ups, and the finished product.  It was a lot of fun, and Nicole's nesting urges were satisfied for the time being.  We're doing a ladybug theme, with the green and pink being the dominant colors. We do have some accents like picture frames, shelves, and hanging baskets that are being painted red.  All we need now is some baby furniture.  Enjoy the photos and comment away.
