Happy Birthday Kadyn!

Yesterday we headed to Jackson's Orchard to celebrate Kadyn turning 3! Jackson's Orchard is a local place people love to visit in the Fall, and they have quite a bit to do. With her party, we got to play on the playground (complete with the cider slide, hay maze, and rolling tire things), go on a hayride to the corn maze where Kadyn and Griffin serenaded everyone with a loud rendition of Let it Go, jump in the bounce house, and make sand art. It was a lot! Griffin had a ball, and we were all worn out by the end.
























Happy Birthday Kadyn! Thanks for including us!

Fall Fun: North Warren Fall Festival

Friday night was North Warren's Annual Fall Festival. Griffin and I were able to attend again, but unfortunately Mr.Pate had to work a Servpro event elsewhere. We definitely missed him, since he is the fun one after all :-)

A great thing about this year was that Eli & Ellie (and Morgan and Eric) were there! So the boys were thrilled to get to play together. We did get off to a rocky start, as Griffin went up to a pretty tall inflatable slide and proceeded to get scared and cry. Some older boy grabbed him and brought him down for me. So we were a bit skiddish for awhile... Oh three year olds!

But Uncle D got done at his game and he and Britt came and played with us, so things looked up. The boys were being silly before we knew it!

Slowly but surely making some progress

We are slowly but surely making some progress on Grady's nursery. Tonight we actually hung a few things on the walls! We even hung something in Griffins room too.



So there is a white giraffe decal on the right, but because of the lack of great light in there you can just barely see it. Weird. We still have cute little animals that are gonna go between the letters of his name. Banner made by the awesome Gammy Becky.


If you have been around the blog much, then most of our stuff looks familiar probably. Griffin really wanted Grady to have an animal nursery that was yellow just like his was.


And we were able to hang Griffins birth announcement too!


And we got to hang his life verse also.

One little step at a time, and soon these rooms will be done!

What's Next? Getting Started with this Church Plant thing...

Last Sunday was our last Sunday on staff at Smiths Grove Baptist. It was bittersweet and of course I cried. But now that we have no more responsibilities there, the reality has set in that we are planting a church. Which leads me to ask myself, "what next?"!!

We have been meeting with our core group for Redeemer for a few weeks, but that is all. We do not plan on meeting on Sundays for a church service for several more weeks. So now what?

We are taking this time to visit some local churches and just see what others are doing and why. We are getting supplies together for a "mobile" church (we will be meeting in a local school gym). We are looking at logos and trying to set certain policies. And we are praying. A bunch. That God would change hearts on Louisville Rd. That He would redeem souls from death to life. And that He would give us wisdom for this completely uncharted territory we are entering into.


This is what we are toiling for- that we may present all mature in Christ.

I'll keep you posted on how things are going. Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers.
