Lucas' school pizza party

Lucas' class went to pizza together with the other preschool classes at his school. I could not get him to wear his dr. costume that night so instead he dressed up as a fire fighter (only the hat and fire extinguisher).

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch with the Halls, Johnsons, & Ali on Sunday. We when on a hey ride, pet animals, & picked pumpkins. We had a great time.

Autism Walk last Saturday!

These are pictures from the Autism Walk in Seattle. We didn't get very many pictures. It was very busy with lots of people there. There were lots of bouncy rooms and a huge slide for the kids to play on before the walk.

Autism Walk

We are walking on Saturday October 13 in the annual Autism Speaks walk at UW. If you want to join us we would love to see you there. The web site is below. If you want to support the cause feel free to do that also. We will have pictures after the walk.

Birthday Fun!!!!

Yesterday we had a big Cars birthday Bash!!! Since, all of the boys birthdays are in September (Lucas turns 4 on the 24th, Micah turns 3 on the 19th, and Ethan turned 1 on the 1st) we combined all of the kids party into one. The kids had lots of fun and got too many gifts (where to store all the toys and books is our new question). Ethan had his first piece of cake. The kids had a candy hunt. We tried some other games but, they are just too little. And Pop-Pop and Grammy Jo flew in for the birthday party. We love to celebrate the 3 little lives that the Lord had entrusted to us. It is a joy to see our little boys grow. If you think of them... pray that the Lord would save each of them and grow them into godly men.

We have a walker!!!

I have been trying to post this video for a few days now but it has not been working. Ethan has been taking a few steps here and there for the past month or so. But, with in the last week and a half he has started to walk.

Lucas' 1st Day of School 2007

This is Lucas' second year of preschool. He has a wonderful teacher this year named Miss Barnes. He was very excited to go to school today. He was even asking Ethan to put on shoes so that we could leave. Lucas already had his shoes, sweatshirt, and backpack on and was ready to go.

Happy 1st Bday Ethan!!!!

Well, no cake picture because we are waiting until the big Birthday party for all 3 brothers on the 15th. He loved this table toy that we found on clearance at Target for $6.24... we love bargains. We love our kids even more. It has been a joy to have Ethan in our lives for the past year. We look forward to many more.

What... Make-up on my son!!!

Well, this morning we heard clank, clank, clank from the hall bathroom... Micah had gotten into Becky make-up. He was covered... as well as the walls, the door, and the floor. It all came off after a bit of scrubbing.

Pictures Again!!!!

Well after much wait we have picture again. We had some money for house fixing and decide that picture of the kids were much more important... the kids are growing and we will miss a few months of their lives in photos if we did house repairs... house fixing can always wait. Plus, we got a great deal on a camera at Costco.com!!!

The Greatest News of the Summer!!!!!

Lucas' teacher is not returning and he will be getting a new teacher!!! We are thrilled for this new opportunity. We pray that she is a good match for Lucas. We will meet her for the first time on Tuesday and Lucas begins school again on Wednesday. Also, Lucas' UW therapy is coming to an end. We will really miss all of his great therapists and case supervisor. We are glad to have life back "normal" for whatever that may be for us. It will be strange not to have someone in our home every morning at 8 am and then again at 2 pm in the afternoon. We are hoping that Lucas will adjust well to the less "structured" time at home. Please join us as we thank the Lord for the provision of a new teacher for Lucas!
