Lauren is growing up so fast. Today, we went to a local nursery to buy some pumpkins. Lauren LOVES pumpkins. She sees one and will say pumpkin 17 times in a row...so we bought her 17 pumpkins.
We've been trying to get our house ready for fall because the weather has really had that crispness that comes right before the leaves change. I'm so excited for Beth to experience a fall season like the ones I grew up with--there's not much of a fall in Texas.
A couple of weeks ago, we had our first real break in the weather. It was about 55 degrees on Saturday morning. Beth, Lauren and I were downstairs in the den and Beth decided to let Meshach hang out on the patio below. She thought she should check in on him, but when she looked he was no where to be found. He decided that 55 degrees would be a perfect opportunity to chase the swan that mocks him while he's stuck on the deck. Beth looked out onto the pond and there was my dog (I say MY dog, because when he does something wrong he belongs to me) swimming in the pond not too terribly far from the swan. I have no idea what he planned to do with the swan if he caught it. I have a feeling that the swan would have torn him up, but I didn't tell him that. He thought he was big stuff until I yelled at him to get out of the water.
I hate to think of the thoughts running through all of our neighbors' heads...
This photo was taken pre-Meshach chase...We've found a church home, I'm happy to say. First Baptist Bartlesville has just been absolutely wonderful. The pastor stopped by to visit us a couple of weeks after we'd been visiting and you can just tell that he has a heart for the Lord. We're really excited to get involved. The nursery is fantastic and we've met some people we believe will be great friends.
I guess that's all for now.
