A NOTE FROM MOMMY:
I'm going to put a few pictures of Rayna on here this time. I usually refrain from doing so because her bio-mom hasn't given me permission to post pics, but seeing as this is a private blog, it should be OK. Besides, she looks soo cute!! She's staying with us for 2 weeks this time. PLEASE pray that Rayna will be raised where God wants her to be!! We want the best possible for this gorgeous girl!!

Pretty in pink - notice the beautiful nails! So fun having a girl around!

Just a happy little wish for the Holidays...

***The Chef***

Malachi tested his culinary gifts by making Mommy a delicious mud pie.

Mom was appreciative, but reluctant to try his "chockwit" treat, so Kai got the whole thing all to himself. He offered me some...

...but I know better then to accept dessert from a kid who thinks our bunny poops out Junior Mints.

The Theory

I'm working a hypothesis concerning the sublimation rate of crystallized carbon dioxide. I wonder if it's directly proportional to the quantity of substance submerged in, divided by the specific density of H2O...

Testing the Theory

Mmmmm. Yes. Just as I suspected. Very Interesting.

Second Generation Friends!

It was so fun having a playdate with Sophie - she even let Mommy put clips in her hair (Mom loves to fix little girl's hair and jumped on the opportunity to borrow Sophie. She'll likely continue this behavior until we get a sister.). Our Mommy and Sophie's Mommy grew up together and have been the best of friends since 6th grade! They were even pregnant together. Now Malachi and I are friends with George and Sophie! I think that's pretty neat!

We all got together and helped Mommy strip the bed so that she could wash the sheets. We sang, "Ring aroun' da rosie, pocket fulla posies..."

"ashes, ashes, all fall down!"

Solomon's feeling a bit sluggish this morning. Uuugh.

Yeee Haaaw!

Ma and us meandered over for our Fall photos today and it was a tootin' good time! Whenst we get 'em back we'll send 'em over yonder to y'all by way of the post!

Howdy Pardners! Make way for the Pony Express!

Ma and Pa's best crops!

Today we went down to Lebanon to visit the hospital where Daddy has begun his "Radiological Technician Internship". We've been curious where he goes to learn about X-Rays. Gramps and Gram went, too! After we saw the equipment and met some other students we ate lunch together in the cafeteria. They even had frozen yogurt!
