A little bit of everything..........

In an effort to get caught up, I am selecting just a few photos from SEVERAL events over the last two months. With mommy being so sick, I have had to lean HARD on other people to help me manage all I have on my plate. Friends and family have been soooo gracious and helpful during this time with calls, encouraging notes, FOOD, and prayers. Grandmommas and Daddy have played my role in your lives over the last two months. I will forever be grateful for the help and love. Both of you had Fall Field Trips. Caitlyn, Mimi went with you to Walden Farm and she took some great pictures that we will put in albums. Caroline, Daddy went with you to Gentry's Farm. He was the only Dad there...thanks, babe!!!! It was a great day to be outside.........

Celebrating Daddy's birthday at Mimi and Papa's with his favorite, Banana Pudding!!!!!!!!!

In the month of November at chuch you discussed teamwork. The challenge was to raise $1000 dollars as a group in order to purchase 100 mosquito nets for children sponsered by Compassion International. You all wanted to earn your money by having a Lemonade Stand. We went to Mammi and Big Daddys, made signs, lemonade and cookies and had a great time!! You earned $60 to go towards the project. Daddy and I were so proud of you!

Thanksgiving is my favorite season. I wish we had more time for it because of what it stands for. I love hearing what you are grateful for. We have sooo much to thank God for!!! Every year, it seems to get more and more overshadowed by Christmas. Here we are below on Thanksgiving night at Mammi and Big Daddy's taking our annual Dozier family picture. The family just keeps growing!!!
