Who is under all of that blond hair?

I put a little mascara on her; women pay for these lashes! She is blessed with gorgeous eyes.

Mom joined for some pics:

We are just about ready to head out.

Buddy, you have to stay behind, but we’ll bring you some candy!
As we headed down the sidewalk, a perfectly V-form of ducks passed overhead. They were scouting out which candy basket to pilfer probably.

God is so amazing in how he innately these ducks know how to form.

OK, Daddy loves our back sides apparently. More likely our hair?

Ok, we’ll go there too.

We hit about 15 of our neighbor’s homes, and it was a treat to see them all.

Hands off my candy, Daddy! Heehee

She ended up donating most of it to her classmates. Everyday, she puts a few pieces in to share, and she also created a “treasure box” for incentive for kids to return the books she lent out. Smart girl!

PAAAAAALEEEEEEEASE drop some of that!

Ready for Thanksgiving now, right Coopy?

He is so funny! At night, Coopy gets all lovey dovey.

Usually he’ll nestle his nozzle right into Daddy’s legs. SO stinkin’ CUUUUTE!

We are living the 6-G life and part of that is being glad, grateful and God-filled. When you are these G’s, you can’t help but belt out a tune!
And so the Two Girls did.

The tune? Cuckoo in the Key of C. Yes, very advanced. (?!)

But we did it!

TADA!

I love you, Tot!

Our church, Scottsdale Bible, has a service for the older generation in the Grace Chapel. Doug and I got married in this beautiful venue.

This morning, the Children’s Choir sang a few songs with Matt leading. I love his deep voice!!

This was the last time she was in here!

We got there an hour early for them to practice. with Sandra.

The beauty of these songs was how classic and hymnal they were.

All ready!

I love that they are teaching the young these classic hymns like How Great Thou Art!
Tot, you sounded wonderful along with the choir. XXOO

So well written. It’s very rough still, but any free minute she gets, she is working on it.

I let her bring it in the car so she could read it to me. She is constantly checking in with me and reading what she wrote.

The sentence fluency and word choice is that of a writer.

More?

Ping Pong:

SHe continues ….we will put this together shortly. She is still working on the cohesiveness. As an English teacher, I can see her immense creativity and talent.

Tot, you rock my world!

CUTIE PIE! Will you become an author someday?

We have been corresponding with Sandrine (from Food For the Hungry) in Rwanda for 2 years now! She just wrote us.

Tatum wrote back!

Maybe we’ll get to meet her someday.

When I went out to visit too, Coopy supposedly followed me.
Upon coming inside with the Tot, we wondered what happened to Coopy. Where are you, Coopy?
Oh my….

Mommy? Taties? Someone?

He would be pure bait out in the world; absolutely has no clue what to do. Oh, Coopy.
