Winnie & Her Twinnie

Do Lord's Choir

This was a nice start to my 38th birthday ;) Then we enjoyed lunch with Mom, John, Matt, Zech, and Holly at the ever wonderful House of Hunan. Later, I got in a nap. Our evening was typical for a Sunday night: dinner, reading with the girls, and watching a family show (Dancing with the Stars).

Almost All of the Carlisle Kids

We loved having the Carlisles over but missed seeing William.

Backpacking

Seth and I enjoyed an overnight backpacking trip at Zaleski State Forest. We lucked out with mild temperatures and a dry Veterans Day. It was especially nice using inflatable pillows this time as opposed to rolled up clothing.

Autumn Fire

We had our first fire at the new house. These two didn't last long.

Good Morning!

This is how they came down to find me working out :)

Halloween

Our Halloween fun began with dressing up for dentist appointments. It was all treats and no tricks with no cavities! In the evening, we trick-or-treated with frends Rylan, Camdyn, and Sarah. Doc passed out candy to about 100 kids.

Pumpkin Carving

Trunk-or-Treat

Trunk-or-Treat day at Peace! It had to be inside this year because of rain.

Spiders with the Dutts

Vickie and Harry came over to watch the game with us and brought along a fun spider craft for the girls.

Girl Scouts S'mores and Sing-a-Long

A portion of our troop participated in the city-wide Girl Scouts S'mores and Sing-a-Long at Greenwood Lake Camp.

Autumn Boating

On Sunday, John took us out boating for the final time of the season.

Swaisgood's Halloween Party

We had a fun time at the Swaisgood's Halloween party in Bowling Green. Seth and I were a workout couple from the '80s. With those shorty shorts, he won best adult costume. Kit was a genie, and Winnie was a witch. 

Facepainting

Not sure which is more amazing: that Winnie did this or that Seth (& I) let her! 

Make It Monday: Scarecrows

Gifts from the Tooth Fairy

The tooth fairy came again for one of Kit's teeth. Surprisingly, Winnie found some change and attributed it to brushing well.

Make It Monday: BF Necklaces

I am delighted when the girls come up with their own crafts. On Sunday morning, they created these "Best Friend Necklaces" that include the letters K & W as well as dog tags from VBS. They have vowed to always wear these except when sleeping or showering so that the other will be reminded "we are always together."

Birthday & Wedding

On Saturday, we celebrated Doc's birthday at lunch before heading to Bellville for Josh and Leah's wedding at the lovely Deer Ridge Golf Club. We all had a fun time, and guests even sang to Seth. Blessings to the happy couple!

Bridging Ceremony

The girls "bridged" to their new levels in Girl Scouts. Winnie is an official Daisy, and Kit is now a Brownie. What a beautiful morning to spend at Gallant Woods Preserve! The girls loved the nature scavenger hunt.
