The beautiful tiger in the zoo...

Re-decorating inside. We finally had the pictures developed, frames bought and hung on the wall. Then, Wyatt and I went outside, right by our garage and brought the big beehive in! You know, a little nature inside. And yes, I did a little research first to make sure the bees would be dead...

And some Christmas decorating outside...

What we've been up to....

A few weeks ago the kids and I packed up and set out on a 8+ hour road trip to visit friends...

....then we were able to head to the zoo......

...then on to visit more friends. O. came down with a flu bug, so we ended up coming home a day early. Since then we have been busy getting ready for Thanksgiving, which we had at our house. And now, decorating for Christmas!

I was hoping to add some more photos. For some reason my computer won't let me, so we'll have to wait for a different day! Thanks for reading!

Great Ideas...

I just read on Abby's blog about Whittaker Woman. Wow! What great ideas for weekly family nights! I especially liked the quote "When mommy & daddy play together, family nights stay together." Hm...now I have been inspired and I'm sure I'll be trying to think of a theme for some night soon.

The Cake Family

Our friends, Patterson and Rachelle Cake, are working on bringing home their daughter, Sarsina, from Ethiopia. She is 14. Click here to read about their story.
