Opa Tom

"Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord, is the rock eternal."

This has been Luke's memory verse this week and we were talking last night about how this verse would have been one that Opa Tom would have lived by. Ryan's Grandpa Tom passed away this morning. He was truly the head of his family and was admired by his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. I am so glad that he was able to meet all of our children and that Luke and Reagan will be able to remember some fun times with their Opa. Ryan learned a lot from him over the years and was able to go up and spend a little more time with him this week. We will miss him a lot, but are so happy that he is now healthy and celebrating in heaven.

Sunday morning photo shoot

Ryan's parents were in town recently, so on Sunday morning they went out and took some cute pictures with the littles. Luke, Reagan, and I were already at church for Sunday School so we missed out.:( I love photos in the fall!

Lauren looks taller than Drew in this picture, but I think it must just be the slope of the driveway.:)

This is probably his ornery face after he drove our riding toy off the front stoop.

Reagan's first field trip!

Reagan recently got to go on her very first field trip. They went to Howell Tree Farm which is a pumpkin patch nearby. Ryan took the day off and went with her, which was a huge added bonus! One of the most exciting parts for her was riding the school bus. I take them to school everyday, so that's not something they get to do otherwise. She picked out a pumpkin that was just right for her and had a great time with her class.
