he's on his way...waiting for uncle andy!!! 10.26

sarah and i were able to fly out to tucson on the friday that uncle andy arrived home from afghanistan!!! we were actually in the hangar when andy pulled up beside us in his jet! uncle andy knew that mom and dad were going to be there, but was totally surprised by sarah and i being there. it was awesome to see him and give him a hug...even if he crushes you every time! sarah took to uncle andy right away and followed him around all weekend. i have lots more pics from the weekend to post, but they are on mom's camera. i will go ahead and post the videos and pics of uncle andy's house...i know the franklinton crowd is awaiting a visual on andy's home!

sarah's choir debut video...oct 21st

sarah's choir debut...october 21st

sarah is in 3 year old choir this year at church...and i am the 3 year old choir director! that basically means i yell as loud as i can for 2 hours every sunday night to try to be heard over the clamour of 20-25 3 year olds!!! on sunday night, october 21st, sarah's choir, along with the 4/5 year old and kindergarten choirs, sang in the worship service. they sang a song where the kids wave their hands in the air and jump up and down...a lot! it was too cute!

just fyi...

in case you can't tell...i am trying my darndest to get caught up to blogging in the PRESENT instead of totally far in the past! make sure you scroll down to see all the new pics of the little ones! thanks for bearing with me and my tardiness lately!!!

park playdate 10.11

we hung out with the smallwood's and york's after preschool one afternoon. the kids had so much fun feeding the ducks, even if the kids would throw entire pieces of bread at the ducks instead of tiny bits. the little kids stayed safely away from the pond in their strollers. looks like they were having a blast too! yeah, right! all drew was saying was "out...out...out"! i tried to pretend that drew was the same age as his younger playmates. anyway...we did let everyone loose once we went over to the playground. what a great way to pass a whiny, cranky after preschool afternoon! thanks amy and mary!!!

the weekend of sugar...griffin's 3rd birthday party-sept 30th

griffin was a super-cute birthday boy, huh?!? the day after sarah's party, as we were slowly recovering from the mounds of cake and ice cream we had eaten there, we went to griffin's fire station birthday party to eat some more!!! all the kids had a blast playing on the firetrucks, lawnmowers (?), and fire equipment. it was a great party to round out a really great weekend! goodbye september!!!
