E is for Excitement

EXCITEMENT!! So many things to be excited about. Colby will be five months old tomorrow, time goes so fast. He is blowing bubbles, talking non-stop and has found his feet! He is starting to sit up but can't quite stay up without tipping over after a few seconds!!

Florence Homecoming is this week and the youth are loving it!! Fun and exciting days of dressing silly and decorating floats for the homecoming parade. Chris will be driving the truck for the Sophomore class this year! Two of the girls in our youth group are in the Homecoming court. Go Katie and Regan!! We are excited and can't wait to see them all dressed up Friday night!

The following weekend is the Fall Carnival at our church. All kinds of fun and excitement!!This will include the annual Trunk N Treat, a Fun Run, and lots of good food and games!! Our Trunk N Treat is made up of anyone who wants to decorate their trunks and the kids go around to each car and get candy. The Fun Run is new this year and it will be a walk/run down our road and you get a t-shirt for signing up!! We then have the exciting games like bobbing for apples, face painting, cake walk, etc. All the kids and some 'big kids' will dress in their halloween costumes. If you don't have anything planned, come join us, October 18th starting at 4:00.

Colby will attend his first birthday party the following Sunday. My cousin's little girl Bailey will be 1! Once again it seems time goes by so fast. It's always exciting to celebrate our birthdays and we thank the Lord for giving her a wonderful year and pray for many more!! We can't wait to see them.

And of course there is Halloween. We have plans for our annual Holy Ghost Weenie Roast with our youth group but I can't leak any of the details!! This is always an exciting night!

What about things besides events...So many friends and family are going on mission trips or have just come back from a trip. Getting to hear all the exciting stories makes me wish I could go. Maybe one day I will be able to go like that! I am just glad they are willing to serve!!

A little less exciting...My mother-in-law is going for an MRI Friday for her back. She has had problems in the past and had different procedures to try and cure this pain and numbness that she has in her leg. She has recently been going to physical therapy to try a little bit cheaper route but it isn't doing what the doctor wants! So once she has the MRI we will see what comes next... Please pray for her as she is waiting patiently to see what the outcome will be.
