Twins

This is Adrian and Anthony. They are our Spanish twins that we have in the nursery every Sunday afternoon. Last Sunday Anthony decided to play "King on the Brother". It must happen fairly often because Adrian took it in his stride! Like" Here we go AGAIN!" They have been coming since they were just a month old. We really do enjoy them!

Supper with the Hofferts




This is NOT a good picture of Aaron, but anyone that KNOWS Aaron
KNOWS he doesn't like to have his picture taken much.
This was at a resturant so that made it even worse BUT..
He did it for MOM!

Little Stella has turned four months
and is just as cute as ever (as reported by THIS Grandma!)

Grandpa FINALLY got to meet Stella
and says she is DEFINATELY a "keeper" !

Our Neighborhood is changing !!!

This is the house we lived in for 3 yrs. after moving to Iowa
I can't believe it but I have NO pictures of it where it sat until a couple of months ago!
The house is sold and will be moved,but has recently been moved to make way for the future!

Friday of last week this beautiful new home was placed on the basement,
where the old house stood. This shot is from the road,
the drive is in the lower right hand corner.
this view is from the West.
so you can get an idea what it looks like from that direction!

I am so excited for the owners!!! This has been a long time coming.

I WILL miss having them as close as we are now. BUT they are still Just up the road !!!

Please Pray ...

... For this Precious Lady!
My Pastor's wife,
My Mentor,
My example!
My FRIEND !!
I love this lady MORE than I can tell you and she needs our prayers!
A couple of weeks ago she was diagnosed with cancer. She has been on a roller coaster ever since. First it seemed VERY serious. Then the next report seemed VERY positive! THEN THE NEXT report, The one last Friday is that THERE IS MORE cancer..... Iowa City could not determine WHERE, BUT it's THERE FOR SURE! The good news is that because they can't locate it, it appears that WHEREEVER it is, it's in the early stages. God has worked a miracle and they are heading to Mayo Clinic in the Morning. Please share this with anyone that you know will pray. She and her family NEEDS our prayers during this time. Thank You!


Dianne was given this little "Cancer" bear for encouragement.

What a sweet gift!


Red Hat October Event

Saturday, October 11th the Red Hatters converged on
Coralridge mall, incognito. We just decided to be a group of ladies
going shopping and out to eat. We started with our favorite stores. We had
a very sweet Christina Boos waiting on us at CJ Banks! (Oh... a side line for you girls that made purchases...Chris said "Thank You"! She made her quota thanks to YOU !)
Notice the QUEEN of BARGINS has TWO bags of clothes
from her favorite store. I told her she will be
the best dressed lady at Ladies Spectacular this week!

Putting our feet up to relax

before hitting the stores again!

My ABSOLUTE favorite resturant was the next stop

And WE WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED !!!!!



After a little more shopping we headed to the coffee shop
and then on home....For everyone but me....
I headed to the Hay ride.... Another post....
