We can't wait to go back again! A great time of the year for the beach! It was kind of bittersweet to enjoy the beautiful seaside, while those all around were working to clean up the mess left over from Ike. So many homes were damaged, debris lined the roadways, and there were still stray boats everywhere. My prayers continue to be with those residents of Galveston and those who help with the aftermath of the hurricane. God bless them.

The Beach

waves, sand, sun, tides, seashells, seagulls, sandcastles...a sweet peace invades my soul, even while continually fishing seashells and sand out of baby's mouth. We had a fun outing today. Pictures to come!

Halloween Fun!

We had a toothless Tooth Fairy, a Princess, and a sweet baby lion cub :)

Hope you all had a fun night too!

Nursing home visit

with the homeschool group this morning.

All the saints ready to visit the residents!

little Saint Francis liked his rope belt a lot!

St. Elizabeth of Hungary (queen who gave bread to the poor)
St. Francis of Assisi (you might notice the bird on his shoulder)
and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton (American wife, mother, widow,
and foundress of teaching order of nuns)

Now we're resting up for the Halloween fun!

Teaching them to find the positives

After I knocked over a ~2-liter glass bottle of Mexican vanilla extract ALL over the pantry. It shattered and sprayed everywhere, taking me about 2 hours on and off to get it all clean!

Mary Clare: "Well, at least the pantry won't smell like dirty diapers anymore!"

You know you're a tired mommy

when you come out of the grocery store at midnight BY YOURSELF and notice you parked in the "Customers with Small Children" spot without even realizing it! (I do have the excuse of talking on the cell phone while I was parking though ;)

Too funny

She's going to be a toothless Tooth Fairy for Halloween!

And a fun week of babies!
Congratulations to Lillian!
Congratulations to Stephanie!
Continued prayers for Roxanna!

This weekend we saw this movie, a wonderful Christian movie about marriage. I recommend it to everyone and all my close-neighbors...I can babysit for you if you'd like a date night! Way to go Kirk Cameron...my childhood TV crush is doing great things for the world :)

We've still got a lot to do in preparation for Halloween and All Saints' Day, namely a Tooth Fairy costume and accessories and a St. Elizabeth Ann Seton costume, plus some things for our nursing home visit and All Saints' Day festival booth. Better go get busy!
