Claxton park and Melton lake greenway

Choo Choo!

After scary faced pancakes and violin practice,  we took a picnic to the playground and went for a walk/bike ride on the greenway.   It's always nice to find a flat spot in ETN where the kids can ride their bikes.

Last year when we went, the IHOP servers made the scary faces for us, but this time the kids got to decorate their own faces.  All the toppings came in little plastic containers.  It was a lot more fun for the kids and probably saved a ton of time for the servers!  Sean decorated Hailey's.  :)

Ryan gave it his best try. He made up some words, added some words, and missed some words, but all in all he did pretty well and we couldn't help but giggle.  :) 

A Little Fall Time

My favorite season has arrived!  It seemed as if the colors just started to pop overnight.  It's so beautiful, albeit rainy this week. 

Do you like our neighbors' pumpkins? 

I need to get out my camera and go to a park to take some more pictures.  We will see if it will happen.  The past week has brought us sick babies. 

Kingsport

Just going for a walk with a monkey, pirate, and stormtrooper

Last week we were blessed with a 2 day trip to Kingsport, TN.  Sean had a 2 day interview with Eastman and they paid for our travel, hotel at a Marriott, which me and the kiddos thoroughly enjoyed, and all Sean's meals.  We also got to visit with our friends, The Melinskys, who live up there.  Unfortunately, Sean did not get the job and we were rather disappointed, but we just keep praying for the Lord to give him the right job for us!

Aunt Courtney/Oakes Farm

Aunt Courtney aka Sean's little sis came for a weekend visit from CO after a work conference in Atl.  It was her first time visiting us and her first time meeting Hailey!  It was great to have her here.  We all enjoyed it!  We took her to Oakes Farm and pumpkin patch for a day of fall activities and each kid picked a pumpkin.  :)  Hailey uses hers as a seat!  

Other than that, we have been doing lots of job interviews for Sean and finished up my three weeks of 40 hours per week of training.  I love my new job and I am also enjoying being on my 16 hour a week schedule now.  :)  

Andrew is starting to potty train!  And really I think that's about it for news with the kiddos.  

We are just waiting to see where God takes us next with a baby, move, new job for Sean, my new job, and Sean's graduation all in the mix!
