Well this will be the last post before HALLOWEEN PICTURES!!! You know those are always guaranteed to be a good time... In the meantime we have been doing more fall things like corn mazes and leaf collecting. This weekend we had a great day at the corn maze and the weather was perfect. There was a petting zoo, pedal carts, maze trivia, and a corn cob train. We boys were perfectly well behaved and Micah jogged the entire maze while Elijah was chauffeured in the wagon...

We played in the hay, fed the animals, got lost in the corn, and posed with the pumpkins. Fall has been beautiful and we are trying to enjoy every minute of it outside. Dad is doing well at his job and mom too. We are having friends for thanksgiving this weekend and pray that you all have a blessed Thanksgiving too.

Happy turkey!!

First day of school...

Well we have survived another first day of school, another departure of granny and grandpa for the winter, and another corn maze adventure. Elijah is back and school three days a week and Micah initially took it kinda hard. When Elijah is in school, (M,W,F) Micah and mom go to the YMCA, and everybody goes to church school on Tuesdays. We all swim Wednesday evenings, and gymnastics is on Monday afternoons. Thursday is play date day, and weekends consist of almost anything.

Shortly after school started mom had Elijah's ears checked due to some suspicions. It was discovered that Elijah has a mild hearing loss in his right ear and a moderate loss in his left. Fortunately this is correctable but will require surgery. The operation is scheduled for November 17th, and we ask that anyone that prays keep Elijah in their prayers on this day. The poor guy will have to quit swimming and is a little nervous about the surgery but we look forward to him having his hearing back to normal.

Football, racecars, boating, and apple picking...

Cheering at daddy's football game

Okay, this is the first of three posts to update things. As you can see we have been busy doing lots of neat stuff. Dad played in a football game to raise money for the Stollery Children's Hospital against the firemen. Needless to say it was awesome and dad crushed everybody!

Dad took us to watch the race cars out at the speedway. The police had a vehicle out at the races and we got to meet the drivers. Dad was careful to cover our ears and we sat sooooooooo still and watched mesmerised.

Uncle Sheldon took us boating down the river. Everybody loaded into his boat and we went sightseeing for an afternoon. We had a wiener roast out on a sandbar and got to see lots of cool stuff. Dad had to sit in the front of the boat so we didn't hit any rocks.

Next we went apple picking at dad's friends house. Her tree had so many apples we barely even lightened the branches. After working hard in the blazing heat picking and hauling heavy bags of apples mom then got hand cramps from peeling them all. The best part is that after all that they tasted AWFUL!!! Mom baked a bunch of apple crisps and when we tried them they were so sour no one wanted to eat them...
