Mirror Mirror...

I love small towns...and I especially love them in the fall! I love the change in the air, the crisp cool mornings, hometown football and HOMECOMING! Reese and I recently had the pleasure of accompanying our friends Emily and Ruthie to Emily's hometown homecoming parade. Emily's parents had a float and asked if we would want to ride on it with Emily and Ruthie. I knew Reese would get a kick out of it so we loaded up the car and headed to Centerville to ride in the parade. The theme was "All Things Disney" so their float said "Mirror Mirror on the wall, who is the greatest team of all?" Cute and catchy and if I do say so myself, we had the two cutest Snow Whites ever!!!! What a fun experience and such a great way to spend a beautiful, warm, fall, hometown day!

Kindermusik FUN!

We have embarked on a fun little adventure called KINDERMUSIK! It's a great little music/activity class that allows Reese to be exposed to some music and musical instruments, engage in some learning in a "class" setting, and be social with other children. Since I stay home with her, we try as much as we can to make it possible for her to have opportunities to get together with other children. We participated in the summer session and now are just starting up the fall session. I totally enjoy it just as much as she does and love taking the songs we learn and incorporating them into our daily lives. She LOVES it and so relishes the time she gets to spend with other kids her own age...including her buddy Ruthie!



Wordless Wednesday

Pray for Paxon

I have been so blessed by the friendship of someone I have never even met...in person anyway. Rachel and I became friends through my lifelong dear friend, Shannon. Shannon married Rachel's husband's (Jeremy) cousin (Mark). Rachel and Jeremy have a soon to be 3 years old little boy, named Asher. Asher has Cystic Fibrosis. Immediately I felt connected to Rachel and have been so often touched by her kind, loving words of encouragement, her compassionate, caring, Christ-filled spirit, and her ever-giving love. Like I said...I haven't even met her in person, but that doesn't matter...I just love her and she always just gets it. A few months ago, Rachel and her husband Jeremy rejoiced over the happy news of expecting another baby. However, recently, their worlds were turned upside down AGAIN after learning that their unborn baby boy, Paxon, has a deletion of the 4th chromosome. I am not equipped to even go into everything that means, but I will just say it is hearbreaking and I just ask that you pray for them and their family and their sweet baby Paxon. To keep updated on Paxon and their family, visit http://www.asherolimb.com/. Love you friend...the Petoske's are praying.
