Fall Collage

CutE kId qUOtE

Yesterday, when I picked Lexi up from school, she was telling me about her day and she mentioned that she got to vote. I asked her who she voted for and she said she wanted to vote for Daddy but his name wasn't on the paper. So, she decided to vote for some guy named McCain. That made Daddy's day and he proceeded to tell her all about the write-in option!

The Red Bridge Inn

A few weeks ago, Sean and I were given a trip to the Red Bridge Inn Bed and Breakfast from Sean's parents. It is a beautiful spot. The couple and Granny that run it are so fun! We had a great time!

Here are a few pictures from our trip!

On our way in Mom & Dad O.'s fun new car! We felt so young without the minivan! Thank you.

Our room was round and it had its own deck that overlooked the lake!

In front of the B&B's antique Cadillac limo!

We drove 20 miles north to Itasca State Park and the Headwaters of the Mississippi River.

We were so glad to be able to take in all the fall colors.


The Record Red Pine is over 300 years old!

At over 100 ft. the view from the Aiton Heights Fire Tower was breathtaking! (And so was the wind!)

It was a great trip and we highly recommend staying at the Red Bridge Inn if you are ever near Park Rapids, MN!

Como Zoo

Here are a few pics from our day at Como Zoo.

That's far enough, Jack!

APPLE TIME

We have this really great apple orchard a couple of miles from our house. It is called Pine Tree Apple Orchard. It has been there for over 100 years! We took a walk through the orchard and went on a wagon ride.

They have a huge barn that they have converted into a store that is everything apple! The kids love the caramel apples the best!

Hard to eat with a missing tooth!
Wanna bite?!!!

There is a huge tree at the orchard that Daddy helped the kids climb up. Lexi was a little scared and she didn't last long enough for me to get her picture. Olivia has always been a natural climber and Jack didn't want to get down!

Jack is 3!!!

Birthday breakfast doughnuts for the birthday boy.

Happy Birthday, Jack! We love you, little buddy!Three candles for the big boy!

Safe in the Arms of Jesus

Safe In The Arms Of Jesus

On August 31, 2008 our precious little one went to heaven.

It has been one of the most difficult experiences Sean and I have gone through.

But God's grace has been sufficient. We have been so blessed with the prayers of so many of you caring family and friends. We thank you, we have felt your prayers.

We look forward to the day when we will meet and spend eternity with our little one.

We thankfully rejoice in the Lord Jesus Christ's victory over death and we know our precious child is safe in the arms of Jesus!
