I love Fall! I love everything about it. I adore the changing leaves, falling tempatures, life slowing down from a busy summer…
Today I baked 2 loaves of Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread. It was scrumptious.
Now to just find my apples for homemade applesauce.:)
God is so good.

We have had busy busy days lately….between school, soccer, church, doctor appointments, meetings….but today we celebrated Blake’s birthday..his 12th birthday. Yes on Blake’s 2nd birthday, America was attacked by terrorists. Every year on Blake’s birthday, we also go over the events that happend on that day so that the kids will remember. I must say as we did that today, I still cry and cry when I see the terror that happened those days. To see those people running for safety and to hear those calls to loved from the airplanes that were crashing….to think that this happened to the best country in the world. It saddens me like nothing else ever had.
Okay back to Blake’s wonderful family birthday party! He wanted an Angry Bird cake..dont look closely…it was the best I could do. He loved it!!
Blowing out his candles…looks like Paul is helping too!!!
Blake soooo excited for his new engine for his Go Kart!!!
Blake is growing up so quick. He let Mia help him since he said it was okay…she could help!
Happy Happy!!!!!!
My 5 blessings!!!! I Love these kids so much!!!
Blake was so ecstatic about his birthday!!!!! He is such an awesome son.
I am teaching K-1 Astronomy class at co-op this year. I was expecting to have a rough start and few criers but no everyone was fine. We made alien hats made out of foil, half a milk jug and pipe cleaners for attennas. So cute! the kids loved them!!
Chloe…10 grade.
Okay isnt my baby girl soooo adorable!!!!!!! Yes I know..go on. This was picture of her on her first day of co-op preschool.
Okay..yes she soo beautiful!!!!! 3 months ago when she came home I broke out the colored bears and colored cups. I started working with her to match the colors. She wouldnt do it. I wasnt sure if she just couldnt or was it the language barrier or what the problem was? But she wouldnt do it. We broke out the bears last week and guess who put the right colored bear into the right colored cup. You guessed it…Mia Grace!!
I just cant believe how incredibly smart this little girl is. I amazed everyday!!!And help bring a precious little girl home too!!!
Check Out this fabulous fundraiser!!!!!!

Yes there are so many more photos of Mia. But she is the new baby… So bare with me.;)
Mia is now sleeping in a toddler bed beside my bed. We hold hands until she falls asleep, but she is doing so well for only being home 3 months.
We had a rough few weeks and found out she had some abcesses in her teeth. I asked them to please move up her surgery and they can’t because she is taking up 3 slots for surgery since her teeth are so bad.:( soo..she has been on antibiotic and is feeling better.
Paul and Blake…. I enjoyed spending time with the boys while Chloe and Kenny were in Mexico and Camye was away at camp. They are such blessings!!
We have been to Chuck E Cheese a few times since Mia coming home. Mia loves Chucke and follows him around looking for a hug. She loves riding all the kiddie rides!
Mia snuggling with her little Pororo toy. She still loves her Pororo.
Mia and Mommy!! Mia being silly!!
About 2 weeks, Mia had an appointment with the Genetics dept at Children’s Hospital. She had to have blood work and it was not.fun! She.screamed.and.screamed.
The blessing of going to the Genetists, other than he confirmed what we have believed from the beginning..that.nothing.is.wrong!;)
But we met an awesome Korean family, the Kim’s. Mrs.Kim teaches Korean in Pittsburgh and wants us to come to Korean school! I am so excited to do this and hope to do this Fall.:)
Mia….I mean Blake got a Go-Kart…. And guess who loves to be pushed around all the time!:):)

Mia has a new friend, Ellianna. They are about 7 months apart in age. But they play so well together. Ellianna happens to be one of my best friends daughters, so they see each other quite well. These were taken at Ellianna’s older sister’s birthday party!
