Audrey is in Girl Scouts and has thoroughly enjoyed it. Mrs. Darcy and Mrs. Krista are her troop leaders. :) Mrs. Autumn used to be troop leader with Mrs. Darcy, but she is now Membership Marketing Specialist for Girl Scouts. Mrs. Autumn still does so much to help out here and we love her so much for that!!! :) Thank you Mrs. Autumn, Mrs. Darcy and Mrs. Krista for making Girl Scouts such an awesome experience for these girls! We love you!
this was audrey from 10am - 4pm today. she crashed!
Alex is playing football for the first time this year and he loves it. However, he wants to be a running back really bad, but daddy just want give him that position. He is one of the youngest players on the team, with 2nd graders being the oldest. He plays center mostly(as pictured above). Hopefully, I will get some better pictures this week.
Kathryn had her 1st birthday today! I cannot believe that she is ONE!!! We will celebrate Monday night with family. We planned to today, but papaw was not feeling well and Kathryn has pink eye. :( It is so much better today, but yesterday morning was quite frightening looking. Jim and I had a much needed night out to Monroe last night. We bought Kathryn her big girl car seat. She has been rear facing for a full year and she is so ready to face the front. :)
Alex and Kathryn stayed with dede and papaw last night, so that gave me some time today to go grocery shopping, purchase some McCain/Palin signs, get our supper going and pull out my scarecrows and put out some mums. I love this time of year...............cool mornings, beautiful days, mums, pumpkins, football, pumpkin spice lattes from Starbucks, halloween costumes.......the list goes on.
I came across the serenity prayer today and it really put so much into perspective for me. It spoke volumes to me and gently reminded me that God is in control.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Wow those words really spoke to me.

Isnt that prayer amazing! Boy we all need to hear it more! Love you girl! Loved all the pics and update!
Beth, you know how much your kids mean to me, I am so excited that Audrey is in Girl Scouts with us. She was so big at the campout. I hope she had fun. I just can't believe Alex is so big now, he will always be my "little man" and what would we do with Baby Kathryn, who knew! Love you, Autumn
Those are some powerful words!
I remember being in GS. I learned so much. Actually, I was in GS with Autumn, and I'm going to tell a funny story on her, hehe. Remember when you sewed your pants to our sewing project?? That was great. O, the good ole days.
