Thanksgiving

We stayed at our house this year.  The boys and I have been gone so much the last couple of months that we decided to just stay at home plus Troye has to work the weekend.  Any trips would have been rushed.  I planned on cooking a small meal and we were going to go volunteer at a local shelter.  Colt woke up sick so our volunteer plans were canceled.  Fortunately he didn't stay sick for long and we enjoyed a very lazy day of family time!!

Grumpy's hospital visit

Grumpy came to visit Camaron for his birthday but the very next day Grumpy went to the hospital. He had been sick for a long time and it just got to be too much. They admitted him and he stayed for a few days. Long story.... but basically he ended up in the hospital for over 30 days and had 4 surgeries and 8 days in icu! It was a very scary time for all of us but I am so happy to say that he is doing so much better. The doctors were not sure he would even make it out of surgery but he is a fighter and has so much more to do so he didn't give up! The boys and I were able to go and stay most of the time. It was good to be able to be there to do whatever we could to help. We give all the praise to God! Thank you to everyone who prayed for the family!

Fall Festival

We have been at Grammy and Grumpy's for almost a month now.  With the busy time there was not time to make costumes as we usually do.  We love to dress up in period clothing from the time period we are studying.  It just so happens we found the perfect costumes at Walmart!  We made helmets to go with them and they were perfect!  Colt went hunting with Troye so I was ale to take Camaron to a few fall festivals in Lorena.  He had a blast.  We drove home on Halloween day so that we could attend the fall festival at our new church and with Troye.  The boys had a great time and it was a fun event!
