God gave me you!!

Thanks to those of you who have followed our journey for the past 7 years through my husband Tim's wonderful writing in my blog.  Now that my health issues are in the "recovery" phase, we have a new blog for our family's adventures.  Of course, the star of the show will be Anna!

As I take the "reins" for this new blog, I want to share a bit about Tim.  He has spent the past 7 years writing about me, it's time I get to say a few things about him!  There is a song that says "God gave me you."  With Tim, I believe that is true.  He is a loving and supportive husband.  He has been there for me every step of the way and many times, a step ahead!  Thank you, Tim, for being everything I needed you to be!  I love you!

And now, for the light of our lives...Anna!  From the moment Anna was born in 2005, she and her Dad have had a special bond.  I love watching them together and seeing the joy they bring to each other's lives.  They make me laugh and I am so blessed by both of them!  The slideshow at the right has some of my favorite pictures. (And since I can't figure out how to make the slide show bigger, I'm putting them here in this post!)  Enjoy!

October Snow???

Oh, my goodness!  We woke up to a surprise this morning!  Snow!

Big Pumpkin, Little Pumpkin

Last weekend, Tim and Anna did the Great Pumpkin Run. Tim ran a 5K and Anna did the kid's 800 meter Fun Run. Jo was in charge of costuming. Our dear friends Scott and A.J. came out to cheer them on, see the farm animals and join us for a big breakfast afterward. Each kid who completed the run got to take home a pumpkin of their choice as long as they could carry it! Score!

Anna is "King's Kid"

Anna is student of the week, or as they call it at her school "King's Kid." Watching her present her poster with lots of pictures was really fun!! We were so proud! The highlight of her week so far was getting to eat lunch with the principal of the school...pizza!! Very cool! Since starting 1st grade in August, Anna's handwriting has improved drastically, she is reading really well and has a 100% average on her spelling tests!
