October-Packed Full!

The month of October is special for sooo many reasons, but one of the best is that we celebrate our Caroline!!!!  You turned seven this year, girl, and we had a wonderful birthday brunch just in your honor! 

Grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins and friends were in attendance to joyfully celebrate your life!! It was a special morning! We love your sensitive spirit, your compassion for others and your willingness to be a helper.  We are sooo proud of you!


Here you are with your special and very loved teacher, "Miss" Mary Beth Carroll during your school party
Fall is my very favorite time of year....the cool weather, the falling leaves and the beautiful changing colors
Not to mention, our coveted beach trip to SanDestin.  We did not go last year because Caleb was so young, so were anxious to get our feet in the white sand!
Mimi and Papa went with us again and loved spending time with the three of you!
This year, we were able to borrow a friends golf cart.  How fun that was to ride around the resort in style!!!  :)
Caleb, you liked the water, but preferred the sand even more!



Mimi's leg was better,  but she still had to wear her brace and be pushed around here and there.  You had a partner in crime, Caleb!
Lifesize checker game....a big hit!!
Don't you take my fries, Papa!!!
Bungee jumping for the first time!!

Daddy enjoyed fishing on the lake behind the place we stayed in, while we watched from inside!
We spent one afternoon at a place called The Track....trains, go carts and ski ball!!

He finally caught one!!
As always, we had to get a family bike ride in...one of our favorite activites there at SanDestin!
And, of course, late night card games!! Another tradition....



Until next time.................................


The Miller and Bowden girls came in for a fall weekend while the Millers were still on Furlow in the states.  We celebrated Caroline, Abby, Me and Daddy's birthdays.

We enjoyed fall days at the park...
and playtime during the day...
a last minute throw together baby shower for the Dominguez crew....
and lunch at LES with Caitlyn and Caroline.  The Millers are headed to Rwanda to work with the people there that have gone through the Genocide.  We are amazed at the work they are doing for God wherever they go.
Halloween ends up our full month.  We, again, enjoyed Trunk or Treat at Otter with the Laytons and other friends.
