slowly getting back to normal.

first of all ~~~ thank to all of those who have emailed me checking up on me or have commented how much they miss the blog.

things like kidney stones & endometriosis have left me curled up into a ball on the couch for the past couple of days. okay......really, a week but you can't tell except for my house.

it's so hard to believe just how much we've done in the past couple of weeks. lots of updates to come. I am taking things S-L-O-W!

here's a little Halloween montage from when we did some costume cleaning:

Here's what my little Jayden is up to just about every day in class: WOOD-WORKING!

Each day he brings me home yet another project he's done. Let's pray this holds up for the future!

Here are a few pictures of the kids from when we went to the Magic Show in Bryan. I've learned, if you've seen one kids magic show, I think you've seen them all. But at least the kids had a BLAST and some good chuckles.

Here are a few pictures from the pumpkin carving:

If you can't tell what Hunter's is, here's a little hint:

The boys with their creations and mom's decorations. the mums are even more beautiful NOW! the pumpkins, not so much!

And here's my proof that every one in while, there are very tender moments in my house:

and why Hunter feels the need to do this shooting hand trick in every picture I take, I just don't understand.

but I think I've come to realize they enjoy dressing the same to confuse me. sometimes I will catch the tail end of a shirt & I have no IDEA which one is being sneaky. and secretly, I think they enjoy being twins.

and a picture from the Halloween I missed. I manage to get off the couch to snap one picture then dropped down back on it.
