An Orphan's Wish Fundraiser!

Please check out my friend Stefanie's blog. Ni Hao Y'all!  She has all of the news about a fab fundraiser for An Orphan's Wish. I am so excited about this!  I am going to donate some of Brinley and Bailey's outfits that I was going to save. I have beautiful photos of them wearing these dresses that I can look at any time.  Letting them go will clear out some space here and the money raised will go to a wonderful cause!   Please consider donating and bidding! 

Yep. :)

I think Brinley's balloon pretty much sums it up.  Life is good! Not perfect, not always what we want or what we pray for....but it is good. Living, breathing, loving, enjoying the world that God has blessed us all with and making it a better place for others.

  Life Is Good.

Brinley's Prayers

Last night Brinley was saying her prayers and she said, "Thank you for my mommy and daddy and my 'fambly' (family). Thank you for my teachers. HEY, I LOVE BOOKS!!! I LEARNED TO READ TODAY!!!" I thought it was awesome that she was sharing her big news with God. I learn so much from my children.

Daisy Scouts

Brinley and Bailey are big girls now!  Back in September they joined Daisy Scouts!  Both of them are so excited about this new adventure!

 

Trick or Treat!!!

I didn't take my camera to the church for the Harvest Festival this year so I don't have photos of that.  We did have a lot of fun and Danielle was sooooo funny as "Granny"!

For Trick or Treat the girls were invited to Ms. Michele's neighborhood.  They had a lot of fun and saw lots of their friends.  Bailey was a pink Power Ranger and Brinley had her red Power Ranger costume but at the last minute decided that she didn't want to dress up.

Marty and Keith ended up wearing the masks.  They still didn't get any candy!

We let Bailey go Trick or Treating and she got a lot of candy.  Of course, this was with the understanding that she could not eat it.  When we got home she 'sold' her candy to us for $3.  She was a happy, happy girl!  Brinley decided to sell hers to us too.  Brice & Keith took the candy to church Sunday and brought very little back home.  YAY!!!

Weekend At The Pond

We spent the weekend at the pond.  The sky was overcast and the temperature was cool. We had some rain for a little while but it didn't stop us from having a great time!  The girls and Brice were up early Saturday morning running around with their flashlights.  We cooked "Beaufort Stew" one night and Kristen and Eric joined us for supper.  Brice loves being over there at the pond.  He says he wants to live there someday.
