My fingers are crossed that my kids stay in bed long enough for me to give you a quick update...

We celebrated our two birthday boys a few weeks ago.  My oldest and youngest.  Now 8 and 2. 

 

They are two peas in a pod, regardless of the six year age gap.  I am so thankful for our wonderful family and friends who helped us celebrate.  What a fun party it was!

Luke was slightly unsure about those candles, but as you can imagine he had plenty of help to figure it out.

The older boys are loving being involved in Awana this year.  We have such a wonderful team of leaders and volunteers and it really is amazing to see the impact it's having on their young lives.  I love helping them learn their verses....helping them understand not only what the words say but what the words mean.

These two also just wrapped up their first quarter at school, and as of today begin a two week fall break.  Woohoo!!....i think :)  So proud of their accomplishments so far.  They were both recognized for honor roll achievements, as well as behavior and attendance at their awards assemblies yesterday. 

Fall has certainly been making it's appearance here in the East.  And there's nothing like filling a cool evening with a campfire and smores.  

hope you are enjoying the changing of seasons wherever you are!
