Halloween and November!

Let's see if I can get this to work.... here are a few videos to enjoy:  TJ Dances, TJ Army Crawls, TJ Explores, and TJ Crawls and plays with Logan.

Halloween 2014 (Cont'd.)

Our morning started off with pumpkin-shaped pancakes, then a fun party at the Dents' house, followed by a bucket filling adventure of trick or treating on RAF Alconbury.

November 2014

November was the month of car, van and church parsonage repair.  I personally think it was God's way of saying "slow down, Holien's" and stay home!  Kris' car had a minor repair after failing the MOT (an emissions test the UK requires) and the van had some brake work done as well as corrosion  repair after also failing the MOT.  We are now fully equipped to drive both on the road again!  November concluded with lots of germs and sickness bugs but we're looking forward to the coming of our Lord and Savior, the reason for the season and the one who gives us strength!

Here are some other highlights from the month....

Logan's Free Writing at School

Ali & Kris modelling new Crossfit Gym shirts

Pearl? No, Super Pearl ready for preschool dress in Super Hero Day to raise money for Kids in Need Charity.

Logan's third and mystery tooth.  Have you ever seen such a long one?!

Sisterly love for Thomas.

THANKSGIVING MEAL - we are thankful for good friends and good family.  God has blessed us in so many ways and it feels good to be loved by Him and our dear friends here on Earth.  We hope that you had a good and relaxing weekend as well, and for those of you who are far away, know that we think of you often!

Good friends, Neill & Natalie Hughes and their three came up from Bosham to celebrate with us as well as spend a nice weekend together in Catworth.

Bedtime read with Nat while Mom looks up allergic reactions to milk...in hopes of a night of sleep we gave TJ some formula and it didn't end well! Whoops!
