All Girl

Savannah and Julia both love to dress up. Julia loves to have her picture taken as well. For some reason or another Julia has started leaning her head over to one side when the picture is being taken. Here are a few pictures of the girls going to church.0

Thanksgiving Projects

Jack had to make a turkey for a Thanksgiving Project for school. Mom found the things to make the turkey with. I think Jack and Nana made the turkey from a candle holder, a feather duster and one of Pop's fishing worms. It looked really great, but I cannot take any credit for this one. It was all Nana and Jack.

Friends in Need of Prayer

I get so upset about my little girl who might have to have a new set of tubes put into her ears and we have friends that have children who have major illnesses. It just doesn't seem fair that a child would die at such a young age. I can think of three children right now that are suffering from terrible illnesses. A little girl we went to church with in McDonough is having a difficult year. She was diagnosed with a tumor last year. She is having surgery this week to have a shunt placed in her brain this week. Please take time to pray for her and her mother. Her name is Anna Marie. She is a real doll. They are doing the surgeries in Ohio so her dad is not able to go with her mother because of the expenses and they have two small children at home. I know they would appreciate the prayers. Her story is on the following blog, http://www.annamariesfight.blogspot.com/.

The other family I have felt the need to ask prayer for is a baby of a girl I teach with at Fayette. He is having all kinds of test run over the next few weeks because he was born with abnormal platlet leves. He seems to be such a happy baby, but something is wrong. The mom is just worn out from worrying about him and carrying for her other children, a 5 year old little boy and 3 year old twin girls. Please pray for the Crimm family.

I just feel so lucky to have healthy chidren. I just pray that these two families will trust that God knows the plans for these families.

Tubes

The peace we had at our house from Julia not having ear infections ended about two weeks ago. Julia had an infection in her right ear and the pressure from the infection pushed the tube out of her ear. So after two trips the the ENT (Julia's favorite doctor), we have learned that Julia might have to have the tube put back in. I know it is not a very serious procedure, but I just hate for her to have to be put back to sleep. We now have to go to the ENT once a month for the next three months for him to check her ears and she has to take a steriod, hopefully to get rid of the fluid that is building up on her ear once again. If this works we will not have to do the tubes again, but on the other hand we have to live with a very uncomfortable 2 year old for three months. He did say that we could let him know when we cannot tolerate her or she cannot tolerate the pain and he will go ahead and do the tubes. Please pray the fluid goes away so we can have our happy little girl back.

Playing in the Leaves

The kids are having a great time playing in the leaves that have fallen off the tree. The leaves have been absolutely beautiful this year. God's splendor has been seen everywhere you look. Yesterday the kids were making angels in the leaves, throwing them on each other and sliding into a pile at the end of the slide. They love to play outside and I am so happy that they do.

Veteran's Day Assembly

Monday, November 10th was the Veteran's Day Assembly at Winfield High School. Savannah and Meg classes sang at the assembly. I did not get to attend but Mom and Julia went. Trey was also there because he is a Veteran. Everyone said it was a really good program this year. My friend Julia Moore, that I teach with at Fayette, husband teaches at Winfield and he sang. Mom and Trey both said he did a great job.





Thank you Veterans for all the sacrifices you have endured so that we can have freedom. We truly do love you and thank you for everything.

Dress up a Turkey

Savannah had to design a costume for a turkey so it could make it through Thanksgiving without being eaten. Savannah designed a Santa Claus Costume for a turkey to wear. It turned out really cute. We worked on Savannah's project with Meg, Rhonda and Nana because Nana is very crafty and Meg had to do the same project. Meg's turkey costume was a queen.
