Mid September

We are pretty much into a routine now with soccer, football, and cross country plus oh yes school fits in there somewhere.  Nothing too different this week.  September 11th was this week so it was patriotic day for Cate at school.  They were told to wear red, white, and/or blue.  She doesn't really have red clothes.  Now if it were "Pink" day Cate would be all set.  So the only red, white & blue clothing she had in her closet was Cubs wear!  Actually she had to sneak into Josh's closet to find the shirt!  But the hat is legitimately hers.  Here she is folks in her red, white and blue.  

Go USA!  Go Cubs!

We were blessed to have some time with our grandson Nolan this weekend.  Cate was at an overnight birthday party so it was just Josh & Nolan as the kiddos.  These 2 are great together.  Nolan watches Josh every second and wants to be just like him.  Literally he wants to be right next to Josh at all times.  It was a great weekend and I love the way these 2 boys are bonded! 

Off to the park we go!

I believe Josh is telling Nolan not to get his bike to close to the car because it could scratch the paint.  I guess he has heard that before!

 

 

The Porters treated us to Pizza.  Thank you Miss Kim and Mr. John!

 

 

Josh decided he wanted the little boy towel too!

 

 Eating snacks and watching a movie.  Chilling out time before bed!

 

 Time for church at Northview and lunch afterwards! 

 

 

I love the picture below.  Love these boys!

 

  Twins in their jeans & shirts. Can you even tell them apart? Oh except for that totally dark opposite blond thing going on! Both are adopted by God! Thank you Northview for the "Orphan Hearts" sermon. We were reminded no matter how we started our life, (some of us have been orphaned twice but all of us at least once).  We all have "Orphan Hearts"! Jesus wants to adopt each one of us into His family. He wants us to come home to Him!

 

Choosing joy,
