What a Month!

This has been a super busy month, and it has just flown by!  We journeyed to Dothan last weekend to watch Maddie play in the state soccer tournament.  I am happy to say she scored three goals in one match, and played awesome in each game.  Josh was her coach, and I think it was a great experience for both.  We also really enjoyed the town, and managed to get a little Christmas shopping done.
The kids came back with us for a few days, and as always we enjoyed our time together.  My favorite is the time they get to spend with John Sawyer!  They truly love each other, and there is no time like cousin time.  I must add that Reed (little) was a trooper.  He was very tired in the afternoons, and we attributed it to playing hard.  He did run a low grade temp a couple of times, but we kept it in check with medicine.  Imagine our surprise when his fever went up, and I took him to the doctor, and discovered he had the flu!!  He's still not 100 percent, but he's on the mend.  Our fingers are crossed that no one else gets it!

*I just discovered that these pictures are showing up blurry!  They are not blurry on my computer, and I don't have time to figure it out!  So sorry!

So proud of this sweet girl!  We are definitely her biggest fans!

 We made a few stops on the way home!  The first was Sweet Creek Market outside of Montgomery.  Lots of adventures here!  Chickens, turkeys, playground, ice cream and more!!  And yes, Nana went down the slide, and no-I am not sharing a picture.

 Next stop was the Bass Pro Shop in Prattville for a little visit with the Big Guy and several fun stations set up for the day.

 The day after we got home, we headed across the river to get a tree for our church. 

We also spent a little time at the playground.

 Reed is teaching John Sawyer about life and such!

Next up, putting up that tree at the church!

I still can's believe this little one has the flu here! It didn't keep him from being the best helper!

Up it goes!

Picnic time on the church steps!

This cutie was super happy that the big kids were here!  They will be back tomorrow for more fun!

Next up-the best Thanksgiving ever!
