Now she really likes him!! Anyone who can throw her up into the air she forms a bond with immediatley!

Election time

I was amazed as I sat this morning listening to our pastor communicate so clearly and so appropiately the ultimate truths in regards to the election. Everything from not needing to be anxious about our future in this country -no matter who the Lord allows to come into office. It was such a freeing and yet challenging message. I challenge you to take 30 minutes one night this week preferably before you vote- if you haven't already and listen to this quite riveting piece of truth! It should be uploaded by tommorow. http://cedarcrestchurch.com/listen

One of the key realities he shared with us that since Roe vs. Wade in 1973, over 40 MILLION babies have been aborted. He then continued with sharing that is 3682 babies A DAY being aborted. It is just amazing. The most important thing to God is human life. I feel like before I had Addison "abortion" affected me somewhat- but hearing these alarming and disturbing numbers just bring it to a whole new reality. It is different. It makes me nauseous to say the least. It makes me irate to a new degree. Humanity has never been more powerful- well at least to them it seems...

Halloween and more!!!

Halloween couldn't of gone better. Addison saturated her costume with her drool to no suprise, but we got lots of great pictures as you can see! We are so thankful that she is so photogenic and loves to smile!! We actually stood outside on our driveway while the majority of the neighbors came by. Cute cute children in their adorable costumes!!! We had steaks for dinner and then went to see my parents as suprise trick or treaters.

Last night was also Addison's first time eating cereal. She only had a couple of teaspoonfuls, but seemed to like it. We never got to see a disgusted look on her face!! I will post a video soon of the feeding!!

She's a BIG girl in her highchair!!!

We LOVE the beach...and so does Addison

We went to Crestview to visit Aunt Amy, Uncle Bob, and cousins Carrie and Ethan. We also helped lead a Disciple Now for the second year in a row. Sooooo much fun!!! After the weekend was over we headed over to Destin and got an amazing rate at a Holiday Inn right on the beach. We were only supposed to stay one night and ended up staying 2 nights!! Thanks sweety!!! It was suprisingly Mark's idea. It just made so much sense. October is such an amazing and practical time to go to the beach. While taking Addison for multiple walks on the beach we talked to many different people who were die hard advocates of coming in October.It was not crowded at all! which also means normally slammed restaraunts on the beach like The Crab Trap had no wait at all! How refreshing!! Enjoy the pictures!!!
