First flurries of the season!

Last year we only got flurries once but this year we've already had some nice ones. It was a nice interruption from homeschool and it brought lots of smiles to their faces! We're hoping for a 'real' snowfall at least once this year. These 3 little Floridians have never seen that :)

Gorgeous Fall in Wake Forest

The kids love to play in the leaves, so we took a

nature walk! They collected leaves and then we put them between wax paper and iron them. This keeps their beautiful color - we have 2 years worth now in perfect condition! God is amazing to have created so many beautifully colored leaves!

Daily life with the Santos Family!

We're just loving life and loving Jesus! We are blessed beyond measure!

Party on the Block!

Every Halloween, our church Open Door Baptist Church has an evangelistic outreach to the community to provide a Halloween alternative. It was our first time and the kids really had a blast!

Pumpkin-Carving Time!

Every year we have a blast carving a cross into our pumpkins and talking how the cross keeps our lives free from so much of the evil/sin/bad in the world. Its a great time and a real teachable moment. Then we toast the pumpkin seeds and Mommy eats ALL of them!!!

End of Baseball Season :(

Nathan wrapped up his first season of baseball on the Bees team with a bang! He was awarded the game ball, received both a gold medallion and a trophy, and (his favorite part) celebration cupcakes! The whole family really enjoyed this baseball season and seeing Nathan improve as games went by and the friendships he developed. We're anxiously awaiting Spring baseball :)

New Sleeping Quarters

We bought Nathan and Anthony a new set of bunk beds and they LOVE them - as you can tell. Noah thinks he belongs there too!
