Fall 2008

So time is still flying. Let's see. I can't remember when I posted last with text. Lots has been going on in the past couple of months so I'll just wing it. Libby started preschool this past August and has adjusted rather well I think. There are a few problems here and there... with listening or with crying, but for the most part she's grown a ton socially and is learning new things all the time.

On a down note, she's been sick alot lately. Within October she's had a couple of infections and then most recently a horrible cough. It's getting better I think each day that goes by but her doctor prescribed breathing treatments for her so he's treating her as if she has asthma. Time will tell I guess. We've had a very wet season and there is allot of mold in the air right now. Well, actually, this morning it frosted so I think that kills the mold. We'll see.

I posted pics below from Libby's Halloween party at the school last weekend. She had a great time and loves to be dressed up.

Josh and Jake are or are going to be laid off. Please keep them in your prayers. They both have jobs where it's more seasonal than anything and so hopefully it's not a permanent situation and hopefully they've both saved for the "rainy days"....

Sebashton is cute as ever. He is a little ball of energy. He is fast too, VERY FAST. He can climb out of his pac n play in about 20 seconds. I had him overnight a couple of weeks ago and was afraid to let him sleep in it so I pulled him into bed with me. When we woke up in the morning, Matt, Libby, Sebashton, and I were all in the same bed. And the babies were taking most of the room. Seriously, that little boy reminds me so much of his Daddy. Jacob was the same way...didn't talk much but boy was he curious, into everything, climbed anything and everything, and was very fast. Sebashton is a very happy baby. He doesn't cry or fuss much. If you tell him no, he might be unhappy for a moment, but then just "moves on" to the next thing.

Joe is getting into trouble. Allot. I'm not going to even write about it because it's upsetting. Please keep him in your prayers also.

Well, before this gets too long (if it isn't already) I'll go ahead and close now. Love to all! Happy Halloween!

Halloween Party

Doesn't she look like she's doing a piece for theater, hmm. Shakespeare perhaps....

O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?Deny thy father and refuse thy name;Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,And I'll no longer be a Capulet.


Her costume with the crown / veil. Maybe it's a purple princess bride. Grandma made this for Avery a couple of years ago...

Grace, Me, Libby at the "photo opportunity" section.

Not at the party, but I can't resist posting a picture of my Sebashton. Who could - he's too darn cute!

Halloween Party

Pizza for lunch. Avery is not in the mood to have her picture taken.

There is a story behind this one. Apparently the volunteer for the beanbag game thought Libby was older. She made Libby "stand back" because she was "taller".

After realizing that "taller" doesn't mean you are more skilled at throwing and aiming, Libby was allowed to move closer - like the other kids in her age - range.

Etan actually made this hoop! he was pretty far away from the pumpkin the hoop was supposed to ring. Nice job!
