Still Alive

Just a quick update. We've been in KS since Nov 5th. My mom's mother passed away the 3rd so we drove down for the funeral and just figured we would stay till Dan's wedding the 30th. She was 91 with her physcial and mental health steadily declining the past 7 years or so. We were praying for a peaceful departure into the sweet rest of the Lord and that's how it happened. It's encouraging to know she is fully herself again yet without the burden of sin.
The trip down was not great, I couldn't get Isabelle to take her bonine for motion sickness, it gags her, it was windy and she puked on the drive. And when we stopped at mcdonalds, I begged her to try again to take it, she tried, gagged and a couple seconds later, puked all over the table and booth. poor thing, and disgusting for us all.
In encouraging news, I can say that Christian has been 100% potty trained this past month. Dry pullups every night, pooping and all so that is wonderful. I don't think I can take any credit for it since Isabelle had a tougher time and wasn't poop trained till 2 months before turning 3.
So that's all for now as I type for Aunt Kathy's!

Halloween on the street where we live

Talk about the most perfect trick or treating weather ever!! It's been in the 60's and 70's here lately. Which is fine by me, winter will be long enough. The kids enjoyed trick or treating of course and I also took some pictures of our street. I swear we have some of the most beautiful trees on our street!! click the kids pic to see more photos.
