Pictures for our World Traveling Children

Yesterday we went to the pumpkin patch. Here's a few pictures of the grand event. Also, I've thrown in a couple of recent family pictures. We're missing a few kids, but this is all we have left...our house feels a little more empty these days.

Hairy and Hairless Henry Style

Henry was pretty excited about his birthday. You'll have to notice those long locks...I loved them. They got a little too long, and we had to make the big trip to the barber. He's pretty excited to be looking like a missionary now. (I'm pretty much missing those curls!)Here's a picture of his new do.

Scripture Reading

Scripture reading has taken on a whole new meaning in our home...We've even had a couple of battles. Yesterday my mother in law and I were out shopping and found the New Testament in a language I've never seen before. I couldn't resist, and brought it home. Oddly enough, we've all taken up reading the scriptures...in Hawaiian Pidjin. I think Jodi was right... She once told me that if you want to learn a foreign language, read the scriptures in that language...I'm getting pretty good at this Hawaiian Pidjin stuff. I'm getting so good that every now and then I slip up and start talking in dis language mid sentence. I think I may get to the point where I'm dreaming in it, I'll let you know. I'm sure it's comin. I dis like to share a scripture wid you found in "DA JESUS BOOK":

Matthew 5; 27-30

"You guys wen hear wat God wen say: 'No go fool aroun behind yoa husban o yoa wife's back.' But eh! I telling you guys dis: Whoeva look at one wahine an like fool aroun her, he wen do um awready inside his heart. If da right eye make you do bad kine stuff lidat, dig um out, an throw um away! No matta you ony get one eye--mo worse da whole body go Hell! If da right hand make you do bad kine stuff, cut um off an throw um away! No matta you ony get one hand-- mo worse da whole body go Hell!

Come for Dinner!

Tonight we're having chicken soup. If I'm feeling generous, we'll have a few noodles to go with it. Why?......Well...I think I feel fall in the air! We have gotten a little cool a time or two the past week or so...I think it got as low as 65 degrees...almost sweater weather! Yesterday, we had an incredible thunderstorm, although over our heads the sun was valiently shining down on us. I believe today I detect a little movement in the air...could that possibly be a wind storm? ...and I had a flower die. That's definitely a sign! So today we're warming our little tummies up with chicken soup. You're all invited!
