Look how they've grown...! Walt was 18mos in the patriotic/Clifford photo - I had that one taken for Brent when he was on deployment. Libby was about 15 mos old in her photo.

Hello - here are some funny/cute stories!:
We have those cushiony large mats that you can fit together like a puzzle for a large floor mat or you can build structures out of them. Brent & Walt have built boats, towers, etc. The last time they built something, Walt decided it would be the Church complete with a parish hall! That night he & Libby held Church services - Walt used his workbench as a drum set & Libby was the singer - then they switched. He said that was a music only service but a few nights later decided he would speak like Rev. Paula. He said we could just call him Walt! He said, "first there was Jesus, Moses & Kings but we don't have those anymore. Just presidents, princes & emporers!" Then his Church roof began to cave in. I asked him how he was going to raise the money to rebuild it & he said, "well, if we stopped drinking that funny tasting juice in Church, we could use the money we saved from that!"
When the kids were younger, we usually sang & rocked them to a few songs before bed. It hadn't happened in a while but Libby decided she'd like us to do that again after seeing Annalee get the rocking singing music. Now when we sing to Libby at night, Annalee gets a babydoll to rock & sing along side us!
Every so often, Libby looks at Annalee & her face lights up with a smile & she says, "Annalee, you're home, you're home! Hooray!".
Annalee now says "yee aw" - without the h! She says it when she rides our indoor horse! She also loves to sing along & do sign language/ sway her body back & forth with the children's choir at Church! She's feeling more & more comfortable outside of the house.
Love to each of you from each of us!

Happy Fall! We had a great time at a local corn maze (we go every year!) / pumpkin patch this past Sunday! It's fun watching Walt & Libby teach Annalee all about pumpkins & all the fun things that go along with fall.
