94th in Heaven

 

 

Today would have been Grandpa Marvin's 94th birthday.  Although we know he is at peace in Heaven, he is missed every day here on Earth.  I also know that the many memories I have of him and Grandma will last forever in my heart.  Cheers to you, Grandpa!  Happy Birthday!  We love you!

First day of FALL!

 Our soccer champion!

 Thumbs up!

 FIRST GOAL!!!  EVER!!!

 Out on the farm with Uncle Brian and Aunt Megan!

 

 

What a great way to start fall!  Payton had her second soccer game of the season this morning AND SCORED HER VERY FIRST GOALS (TWO) EVER!  She did great and made us very proud!  I think she might be getting the hang of it!  Then, we traveled out to Megan and Brian's farmland to ride the combine.  The kids had a great time enjoying every minute of the open field and fresh air.  One would think that would be enough to ensure a peaceful nap in the afternoon for the kids, but as I write, Mr. K is sitting on my lap.  He took a quick one hour nap and, although still extrememly tired, refusing to go back to sleep.  So rather than fight him (and take the chance of waking his sister) we are up and hanging out!  Can't wait for more fun, fall weather and activities!

Two little munchkins

Aren't they precious? :)  Love these guys!

Just missed The Big "K"

Payton missed the cut-off for Kindergarten age by 2 weeks, so she will have one more year of Pre-K.  She is perfectly content there and we joke that she will soon be the social director of her school!  Today was her first day and she did great!  Here's hoping the rest of the year goes well!

Big #5

Payton turned 5 recently - my how time flies!  We invited Aurora to attend her party - needless to say, she was a hit! :)  CAN'T BELIEVE SHE'S FIVE!

Sibling Bonding

They love each other!!! :)



1 Year

It's almost been one year since Grandpa Marvin joined the angels.  There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about him and all the great memories of him.  I pray that he and Grandma spend each moment together, watching over us and guiding us through our daily endeavors.  Although he is missed, I know he is in a better place.  We love and miss you both, Grandpa and Grandma.  Happy 1 year anniversary together in Heaven!
