Wreckless Driver

 We have got a wreckless driver around here!  Joel is quite the little walker.  He took his first steps this week and is so proud of himself.  He found the pusher and whips it around the house!  The boy is finding his legs.  We are making lots of applesauce around here too- I think we about finished all our batches for the month!

 On our way to Mammoth Cave, we stopped in Louisville for Faith Community Church's 10th anniversary Sunday!  It was such a blessing to be there and give testimony and hear testimony!  So amazing to think the church we helped plant is now 10 years old!  It is neat to see the faithfulness of the Ws and all the people at Faith!  We really enjoyed our time of worship with them.  

Here is Lydia's Sunday School class picture below.

Mammoth Cave

 A few weeks ago, we went to Mammoth Cave for a night to meet our sweet friends!  These sweet friends continue to be such a blessing to us!  I enjoy talking almost weekly with this sweet friend who is such a prayer warrior and really speaks truth to my heart!  We are so thankful God brought them int our lives at Southern and so grateful to hear how God is using them greatly for the Kingdom abroad, drawing all nations to Himself through them!  They are some of the most humble people I know and their kiddos are so sweet.  Our kids really enjoyed connecting with the boys and meeting this family that we pray for so often!  

 The cave hikes were amazing and the cabin was perfect!  We had a lovely rainy night to sit and talk and share and pray together- it was sweet fellowship!  And we worked on our Ranger badges and learned lots about caving and spelunking, cave crickets- the kids loved Fat Man's Misery and the fact that they turned the lights out in our walk so they could see how dark a cave truly is!  We hope to go again when they are on furlough the next time!  

A & M Apple Orchard

 Last Friday, we enjoyed going to an Apple Orchard with our homeschool group.  We enjoyed picking apples and watching apple cider being made as well.  We did fun pictures and enjoyed the beautiful fall day!  And we made lots of applesauce from all the apples that we picked!

Michael's Graduation Party!

 September 1st I planned a Graduation Party for Michael at our church.  It was a blessed party and we had some wonderful friends from Louisville drive up for the evening to support us as well which was so special!  I made tons of Pork BBQ and we had a wonderful day of celebrating his graduation!

Turtle Thursday...

 We found this sweet little baby turtle while we were weeding at church today.

 The kids tried a campout in their room the other night.  

 Joel got his first haircut a month or so ago.  He's looking more like a little boy than a mad scientist.
