It's been a fun and festive Fall and we are looking forward, as the weather continues to cool, to those hot chocolate mornings, applesauce canning, apple cider evenings and warm fires in our living room. With children, Halloween always brings an excitement you feel in the air all October long. How wonderful it is to experience the joys they contribute. How empty life would be without them. I'm taken back to the memories of my own childhood and the amazing traditions I remember. That one house that always gave those mega candy bars, the dentist that always gave a new toothbrush, and the faraway house that gave us hot cocoa packets we couldn't wait to get home and put to good use, dipping our glazed donuts as we warmed by the fire and a spooky movie on T.V. Ahhh, the joys of Fall! Farewell for now barbeques and fans, hello apple pies and pumpkin treats, hay rides and visits to pumpkin patches! There's something great about each season...wouldn't you agree?!

Jeremy's Baptism

On August 29th, Jeremy had that magical birthday! He turned 8 years old, so you know what that means...he was baptized. We enjoyed the company of his Grandparents Alger and Gram Mower. We started the celebrations with a wing-bang transformer party with friends and family the weekend of his birthday, and followed up with his baptism and confirmation the following Saturday and Sunday. What a special event! We are so pleased with him. Jeremy is one that is always looking for opportunities to serve and help out. We are so blessed to have you as an important part of our family, Jeremy. We love you!!!
