Weekend in the Woods

Cole and I loaded up and headed to Artex on Sunday. We had told Patrick we may come, but he didn't think we really would, so he was really excited to see us! It was a BEAUTIFUL day!!!


The road in was so pretty with all the leaves changing colors. I don't have a good camera, so these pictures don't do it justice, but you can get the idea:)...

The view from Lookout Point...

Jim makes these wooden signs for all the different landmarks around the property. Here are Patrick and Cole at "Cole Circle". The #'s have something to do with their tree farming. I may be wrong, but I think it means in March 1983 they planted 16 acres of pine trees. You can tell behind them, they have been logging.

Halloween Party at the Carter's

Friday night we went to the Carter's to help Liza hand out candy. I got some really cute pics of the kiddos together! I can't believe we got all 4 of them to sit still long enough for a photo shoot!

Mommy and her Monkey...

"Hey Liza, I want to draw on that doodle pad!"

"What's Chloe doing?"

"What's Liza doing?"

Cole and Cy fighting over Liza!

The boys...

SO CUTE!!!

And...SO CUTE!!!

Trick or Treating on the Square

I took Cole to my office to meet up with my co-workers and their babies. They were so cute together. We need to get them together more often!

Cole was being a bully to Grady! Grady is looking at Cole like "Why are you trying to pull my ear off?" and Cole is screaming because I was holding his hand down so he couldn't attack poor Grady again! Sorry Grady!!!

Happy Halloween

Here are some pictures of Cole Trick or Treating at Mimi's house...

I think he is about the cutest monkey I have ever seen! I hope you all had a Happy Halloween!

Prayer Request

One of Patrick's good friends from High School had a sweet baby boy on August 27th. Baby Leighton was born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, and he is in Arkansas Children's Hospital. They really need our prayers.



Here is a link to the weblog they have created. Please check out their story and add them to your prayer list.
