Kylie's 1st Thanksgiving, Eating

Ok, so it is not her official first Thanksgiving, but she did get to enjoy the food this year. Our Kylie is quite the eater. She will try anything and will usually like it. She picks up anything off my plate and tries it, I don't remember the boys ever doing that! The Turners made a great meal, and the company was just as good. We had another Thanksgiving at my moms, and the boys loved playing with their cousins.

Jake Accepted Jesus

Although it was a few weeks ago, I needed to write before I forget. This picture was from that day. Jake was at church when he made the the decision. After listening to his leader tell her testimony, Jake and one other child from his table prayed to accept Jesus into their lives. I had been talking to Jake about it for awhile, but he was never ready. When the teacher told me I started to cry, had to leave and have Matt get the details. I know it is only the beginning to a life that he will have to continue to make the choice to follow Him, but nonetheless it is a huge step in the most important wish I have for my children. Jake does not like me to ask him about it, so probably best not to mention it. He gets embarassed...kids!! He has a day to mark it, Oct 25.

Jake's Kinder Thanksgiving Feast

So sweet! Jake's class did a performance, where they recited poems. Then they all sat down to eat. We made mashed potatoes to share with the class.

Swine Flu?

Poor Jake and Kylie had the flu. Jake tested negative for swine, but the doctor thinks his symptoms said otherwise. We did the Tamiflu, after a midnight drive to a pharmacy in Hillcrest, the only place in sd county that had the liquid form. They were sick for a week each, with very high fevers. So sad!!
