Holidays

I haven't had much to blog about lately and life has been busy. We have had a rough few weeks with some added stress. Some days I wonder what God is doing in our life in some of the circumstances that we have to deal with but I have to trust that it is all part of His plan and He will work it out for His good. It's so hard to not become angry and resentful and I have to admit I have become those things recently. God is dealing with me on it and I hope to grow spiritually through it. I have to learn to be content and that's the hardest for me!!

I am excited about the Holidays coming up. I love Christmas and all the activities that are involved. I love going to the Christmas parties and getting together with family that we only see once a year. I joined the choir at our church so I am singing in the Christmas program we are doing for the whole weekend. I love getting out the Christmas music that I listen to every year in the car. I've been having to listen to the choir music in order to memorize it all so that is all that has been playing non stop in our car. Caleb seems to enjoy it too!

Caleb meets Super Why!

Sunday afternoon we took Caleb to WTCI to meet some of the characters from the shows he occasionally watches. He really only watches Super Why and so we wanted to see his reaction to seeing him in person. He just stared at him not knowing what to think. He wasn't scared at all so that was good. We got a few other pictures with the Big Bird sign he kept wanting to touch and also with Curious George.


This woman asked to carry Caleb over to Super Why....I just love Caleb's face...like who are you!

He does know Big Bird and wanted to touch him....maybe b/c he wasn't real.


He was sort of afraid to touch Curious George

Fall Colors

I love the beauty of fall colors. The trees have finally changed and are at their peak right now here around Chattanooga. I especially love the drive where the mountains are in full view. Today I drove up Signal Mountain just to look at the trees. It was so pretty!! While I was up there Caleb and I stopped at a playground we have been to. Jim was able to meet us there since he had a meeting up there...it worked out perfect!
I sat on a bench while Jim and Caleb played just taking in the beauty of fall and thanking God for his creation. I wonder how many people actually stop in their busy day just to sit and look at the beauty God created or even think of God at all. I can't help but think of God when I am amazed at the beauty He gave us to enjoy!

Caleb and the computer

The other day I let Caleb wander into the office room as I was following behind him slowly. When I came in the room he was on the computer!! LOL He has seen me on the computer some and now likes to play with the mouse. I just thought it was so funny that it looked like he was clicking the mouse and looking at the screen. Maybe he will be a computer genius when he grows up!! :)

Halloween Fun!

This year for Halloween I was excited to take Caleb out to our church Harvest Happening and to do some trick-or-treating. We just took him to our two neighbors since we know them the best. He got some candy for mom and dad to eat!! He was so cute standing at the door with his little pumpkin bucket. I didn't get any pictures of that since I was too busy with him.
He had a great time at the church festival. Once he warmed up to being there around all the people he wanted to walk around everywhere. He even played a game where he picked up a duck out of the pool and won some candy. He also enjoyed looking at the big spot lights they had and the balloons.
Here are a few pictures of my adorable pumpkin! :)
