Fall Update:

Clint: If Clint were reincarnated, he would be reborn as a PC.  It's like he has a growth on his fingertips, the keyboard.  But he mixes it up by playing "monster" with the kids and by jumping out of dark corners at his beloved.  Please someone tell him a wife never forgets.

Wendy: Aside from bein a Mommy and teaching, Wendy has been slowly redecorating the house.  As a result, Reagan and Alyssa are bunk mates and the house is SPOOKtacular for Fall.  If diamonds are a girl's best friend then goodwill & spray paint are a thrifty momma's diamond.

Christian: His smile is his hallmark.  Love abounds with this boy...you can't leave the house, say a prayer, go to bed, or give a compliment without a kiss and hug (x 20!)  He leads with great grades, responsiblility, and compassion. Hey froggie, we can see your halo!

Alyssa: When she was 2, mommy would ask, "What makes you beautiful?" and she would reply, "My persa-alilty".  It was true then, and its even more true now.  If someone in this house is sad or struggling, guess who is the first on the scene? Not the police-but Alyssa!(though Alyssa does moonlight as mommy's fashion police).  Alyssa is taking drama this year and is described as a very serious student. (My lil' protege!)

         Cyndi Lauper has not aged well, read closely....

Tyler: Tyler's brains are growing almost as fast as he is! His brain is scientifically checked daily after HW (just by peekin' in his ears you can see how much smarter he gets every day).  Tyler is working so hard each day to avoid sticking his fingers in his friends soup- I am happy to report that progress is good!

Reagan: Reagan is learning her shapes and colors.  She loves getting Mommy and Daddy all to herself for lunch dates.  She also loves hangin' with cousin Ava( whom she calls "Ray Ray"-so when Ava answers her door you hear- "Ray Ray" shouted back and forth from each girl hugs.) 

Here are some pics of the girl's new digs...

...its a work in progress, but isn't everything!?

                     POP QUIZ....What's the best thing about FALL?

Not the costumes, not the candy, not the dry weather, not the pumpkin desserts, not the quiet times during the day (but I sure do love that)...It's the reminder that if we have love, and faith- that we have all the blessings we need.
