More October Fun

We are getting a cold front this afternoon....couldn't be more perfect timing.  Hopefully it will be just a little chilly for Trick-Or-Treating next week.  It's never fun to sweat while you Trick-Or-Treat.  But, this is Texas.

I went back to the doctor this week.  My doctor appointment is always my big outing for the week!  I look forward to Tuesdays.  I got a good report. The blood clot is getting smaller (very slowly, but surely.) The babies still look healthy and are kicking around like little ninjas.  I am 20 weeks along in this pregnancy and we are praying for at least 16 more good weeks.  Crazy to think that I have been on bed rest for 6 weeks this Saturday.   We are praising God for the good news from the doctor and we know that He will continue to be faithful during this scary time.  Carson and Harper are strong little babies!

Since Bryan and I prayed fervently for 3 years to be pregnant before we had Nathan and Jordan, this scripture from Psalm 100 has been such a life song for us.  And, as we continue to see the Lord be faithful through all the generations of our family with Carson and Harper, we praise God again for being on His throne.

Psalm 100

A psalm. For giving grateful praise.

¹ Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
²     Worship the Lord with gladness;
    come before him with joyful songs.
³ Know that the Lord is God.
    It is he who made us, and we are his^[a];
    we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

⁴ Enter his gates with thanksgiving
    and his courts with praise;
    give thanks to him and praise his name.
⁵ For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
    his faithfulness continues through all generations.

MORE OCTOBER FUN!

N and J had a fun weekend last weekend, complete with pumpkin carving and their very first trophy!

My proud boys after finishing their last T-ball game of the season!  Nathan told me his trophy is  goooooold!  

Nathan and Jordan's first pumpkin carving experience!  They were not so impressed with the yucky insides of the pumpkin.

They were so excited to design their jack-o-lantern face.  Nathan specifically requested mad eyebrows and square eyes.  Jordan wanted a circle nose and teeth.  So funny!  That night, after bath and pjs, the boys went on the front porch with Bryan to light up their jack-o-lanterns.  So fun!  I'm sure their pumpkins won't make it all the way to Halloween but it's all good.  They are still fun while they last.
