The next weekend we spent celebrating Jason's birthday. Spent the whole time playing together as a family. We decide to go to Octoberfest at the mall and didn't even go inside due to the overpriced beer and brauts. So we went to the pet store and looked at all the little puppys for a while and ate at Mezcal... Not even thinking about it we get out of the car and Ezra announces "Dad you get to wear the hat!" Jason quickly responded "No one is to tell them it is my birthday or we will leave right now!" So no hat...
The next weekend it was my nephews turn for a birthday. Simon turned one so we went to help celebrate. We drove as far as Fort Scott on Friday night and on into Joplin Sat for the weekend. We had not been to Brian and Gabrielle's house yet so it was cool to get to see their place. The kids got a huge kick out of reading with Gabrielle and playing with Brian. Simons birthday party was a total blast! The kids really enjoyed getting to play together, hopefully it won't be too much longer and we can all live closer together so they can play more often...
This past weekend we had our Halloween fun. Night of Light at church was a HUGE success!!! I was so impressed with the response we received! God is good all the time, and all the time God is good!
