on our way to church

We were ready early for church this morning so Jon took a few pictures. We have been trying to get the kids to carry their Bibles to church every Sunday, just a small way to teach them the importance of the Word! Lydda Grace loves to open her Bible and say, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, that's Genesis 1:1, I just read it!!" We don't tell her that her little Bible is only the New Testament :)

We don't really go to football games.... we just tailgate :) then when everyone else heads to the game, we go home for naps. These are from the first two games.

Botanical Garden--- way back in August

These are from a morning we spent at the Botanical Garden. We watched butterflies, climbed on the train, ran around, learned that turtles apparently like cheerios and had a lot of fun! 

This picture makes me laugh! It was all I could do to
get a picture of them both, they are both looking behind me at
a huge goose that was honking very loudly and making its way towards
us while I was trying to take the picture!
I think he wanted their rice cakes :)

way back in August in Chapin

I am VERY behind on blog posts.... this is at least a month old! Back in August we had a weekend in Chapin with the whole family together, it was wonderful as this doesn't happen often now that Bekah, Bethy and I, and our families, are spread across three states! 

i love this picture!!! 

Wade spent a long time climbing into the chair and getting down, climbing and getting down...... again and again!

Lydda Grace in Y-ville

Lydda Grace went to Yadkinville over Labor Day weekend to visit with Granna Wylie and Mr. Richard, Uncle Nick and Aunt Mandy. She had a great time! They visited the Asheboro Zoo, went to see Grandmother Downey and traveled to Julian to see Memama and Aunt Pat (where they made homemade ice cream!).

Taking a break at the zoo. 

Walking with Granna Wylie at the zoo.

Looking at animals with Uncle Nick and Aunt Mandy.

Ostrich!

Getting a walking break from Mr. Richard

She apparently loved these statues!

Lunch with Great-Grandmother Downey at K&W

Helping Aunt Pat make homemade ice cream!

Love from Memama (and eating ice cream!)

Thanks to you all for a fun visit!!
My favorite was when Lydda Grace left and I said, "I'm going to miss you while you're gone sweet girl!!" and she said, "Don't worry Mama, I'll come back!" :)
