Thank You!

Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men and so it must be daily earned and refreshed - else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die. ~Dwight D. Eisenhower

Thank you to all the men and women who serve our nation to keep us free!

Struck

The news from Penn State has struck me.

I was sickened when this news came out.

My heart goes out to the boys (now men) and thier families. Every parent dreads something like this may happen to thier child. It  is sick. There is no excuse for the behavior of all involved. 

I know there are a lot of mixed emotions about the firing of JoePa.  He failed not only those boys but himself, to let the end of his carreer be wrought with this scandal when it would have taken a simple phone call to the police. A few minutes of his time and a few of those boys lives would have never been altered. 

Prayers to the families involved!    

Spooking

I have been a busy gal lately so my posting has been slow.   Obviously......... since I am getting Halloween pics posted  right before Thanksgiving. HA!


Here are a few pictures from our Halloween adventures.

 

Carter was a tiger.

He was a good tiger. 

We attended an event at the local children's zoo called "Boo at the Zoo".  It is an annual event that raises funds to feed the animals that remain at the zoo over the winter.  They rope off a specific route through the zoo and local companies decorate little areas and hand out candy and goodies.

It was a lot of fun and there were some very creative costumes.

Rubik's Cube!!  Awesome!

He also really enjoyed trick-or-treating this year.  I took him up the steps of the first couple houses and after that we were trying to keep up with him.

He caught on pretty quickly that if he knocked on the door he would get candy.

Halloween was a great time this year.  I know that as Carter gets older we will have many more Halloween adventures.
