the Paladinos

I’m a few weeks late on this one but definitely didn’t want to skip an update on it.  Our Gabby girl was baptized a few weeks ago on October 12th!  She’s been talking about giving her life to Christ for a while.  But Michael and I kept encouraging her to wait just to make sure that she understood the decision she was making.  We didn’t want her to have any doubt about her salvation later.  After church camp this year she asked again and we felt like she understood what she was doing.  So she prayed and gave her life to Jesus on June 27th!  Such an amazing time as a parent to see our prayers answered for our baby girl.  Prayers continue as she grows in her faith and relationship with our Savior.

No celebration would be complete without cake and presents!

Last Thursday Peter’s class took their first Kindergarten field trip to McGarrah Farms Pumpkin Patch.  We’ve had a field trip to a pumpkin patch every year since Gabby was in PreK.  So I got a little nostalgic this time knowing it would be our last field trip to the pumpkin patch.  And took 96 pictures.    Bear with me as I stroll down memory lane. 

Our last trip to McGarrah Farms.  Wow!  I did not realize it had been that long.

Gabby’s first “Pumpkin Patch” field trip (which was actually just the school parking lot).

He liked this face a lot!



Pumpkin rolling!

This morning Peter’s class performed at the Monday morning assembly, Rise & Shine.  They were sooo cute!  Love seeing him do big boy things.  He took it all in stride and wasn’t nervous at all.
