How Many days till Christmas??

Okay, nana, pops, grandma, and grandpa, here is a teaser of what's to come from the Christmas photo shoot. The kids did so great I let them have ice cream before dinner! We had a difficult time choosing the Christmas card photo!

The kids go trick or treating

This is the first year our church did not have the fall festival because of the construction on campus. So we headed out into the neighborhood for the first time ever to trick or treat. I have to admit I was dreading it, but the kids had a blast and it was actually nice to get out and talk to all of our neighbors some that we see often and others that we had never met. This year as you can see, we had Batman and Princess Seidenkranz! We also went to the Franklin Pumpkin Fest last Saturday. Josiah met up with another super hero, Spiderman and then he hooked up with his friend, Aaron, the Ninja.

Fun Day with The Brownings!

What fun we had today! Josiah had not been to the zoo in a couple of years, and it was Ana Mei's first time. We had a blast. Click on the photo and it will take you to more pics of the zoo trip.

September fun!

Josiah had his mile run with his Poplar Grove first grade class. The kids made homemade dog treats for Theo. What fun! You can see that they even tasted the dough. It didn't taste too good. (mom tasted it too). This made us all think of Rhett though. We are believing he is in heaven now. And as you can see, breakfast is a hard hat sport! Ana Mei coming in from her bike needing a snack and showing everyone how good of a "winker" she is! I love these kids!

September was so busy!

Once again, it's been over a month since I've blogged. September was really busy, especially for mom (that's me!). I had to take two trips for LifeWay which kept me out of town and that's always hard. Ed is such a good dad as he takes care of everything here at the homefront when I'm away. We celebrated Ana Mei's gotcha day which was August 21. It's hard to believe Ana has been with us over a year now. Our friends, the Chesbros celebrated with us with Ana's friend and crib mate in China, Mei Li. Ana's getting ready to take off her china dress to eat dinner. She is all about parties and party hats!
