Hey honey, remember when the baby saved us from the fire?

So around 4 this morning Abigail woke up. I thought the timing was odd, but nursed her anyway. As I got back in bed the heat was on, but smelled funny. I layed there a minute betting that it was nothing. Thinking that might not be best response, I went downstairs to make sure all was ok. Nothing seemed wrong! By the time I came back up, the front room was filled with a haze!! Scenarios ran through my mind as I went to wake Ian. We turned off the heat, and opened the windows. We found no cause, but would seek it out in the morning. Turns out that a baby ball toy, rolled down the duct work and started melting on the heat element of the furnace. If Abigail did not wake me up, we all would have woken up to the fire alarm, whisked the kids out and called the fire department. God is good, yet again

Pumpkin Patch

We made a quick trip mid week to a local pumpkin patch with our ice skating friends the James'.  I only got a few pictures on my phone because our camera broke as I went to take this photo.

 Everett age 9

 Isobel 6 (does she ever just smile for a picture?)

 (and look at the camera)

I foolishly followed a 6 year old and two boys into a corn maze.  I was lost, but they found the way out.

Skate Park

We are trying to enjoy all the good weather days.  Everyone there was great and we had a great time.

Mud to Suds

I'm more than a little behind on blogging but I'll do some quick updating.

Everett participated in the Mud to Suds race a while back.  He did great and had a good time.  I tried to keep up and get pictures but he was much faster than I with a baby on my back and a six year old by my side.  Look at that face!

Being hosed off by the fire department was a highlight.
