"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Firsts

This was Madelyn's first Halloween.  She went trick or treating with the kids, and fell asleep :)  People kept offering us candy for her, ummm, she is 7 months old, no thank-you!  Grace was a princess, Madelyn a candy corn and TD was a superhero, with a one of a kind cape! (courtesy of mom)
 Grace lost her FIRST tooth.  She told us it was loose on Halloween, or the day before and on Friday she complained while eating so I looked at it, she walked away and then turned around with her tooth in her hand, she had pulled it out.  Wow, she is getting old!
