GOING HOME

Liz and Travis are great but are very tired - Maggie, of course, prefers sleeping during the day and staying up at night. Liz is too excited to sleep and Travis is too busy spoiling both of his girls to sleep.

Posting for Autumn: A Jasper Miracle

This is some story, and I probably don't have  the details right. On August 10, sometime in the morning, Chance (age 2)  was put in the truck for a brief moment while another adult went around the vehicle. In that short time, Chance was able to put the truck in reverse, and the truck, with Chance inside, started rolling backwards toward the pond at the bottom of the driveway. As the other adult chased the vehicle, trying to get an arm in, Chance's mom, Kayla, grabbed the side of the truck and dug her heels in. For some reason, the truck's tires turned, and the truck stopped after hitting a boulder. Chance was bounced from the truck and landed in some brush, unscathed other than a couple of cuts and bruises. Kayla twisted both ankles but was otherwise unharmed. The truck sustained a lot of damage, but heck, it's only a truck.

For some reason, that same morning, Joann Lancaster (Rick's mom) had Chance on her mind and used her prayer time praying exclusively for him.

Autumn and her crew have moved to a large rental home where all of them are comfortable and can focus on some economic sanity. Autumn's looking to renew her nursing license pretty soon. She has the same street address, but check your e-mails for a new land-line phone number. Their cells don't work inside the new house.

Thought I'd Update Real Quick

As you all know, babies keep you very, very busy. Not to mention the 12 year old and the 2 year old!! LOL!! Between the 3 of them, Kevin and I have ZERO time to ourselves anymore. We're loving every second if it though. :)

Lola is getting bigger and bigger everyday. Lex is talking non-stop now and Raven, well.....let's just say that Reven has hit the teen years already. -_- She just got back from Florida where she spent 2 whole weeks with my sister and my sister's In-Laws. She had a great time. Kevin and I are exhausted all. the. time. LOL!! And very busy. He spent his entire vacation redoing Reven's room. He's such a great Dad. :D

I must be off now. I have a family that is waiting for their breakfast. I'll leave you with some pictures......
