Megan's French Outfit

What a darling in her little beret!! Such a good sport when Mommy plays dress up!

What are you doing, mom? Take the picture already.


Yes, I know I'm cute!


The only thing I don't like is this hat.


Much better now!

Crazy Kids

This is a picture of the Bee children, our good friends and our faithful family from church. The picture was taken awhile ago when they came over to our house for lunch. Just had to share!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Dear friends and family,
We hope all of you enjoy this Thanksgiving Day! We are so thankful for you, and appreciate so much the support and love we have been given!
We are staying home for Thanksgiving for a change so we can save up for a trip to both families' homes over Christmas. We are having a dear elderly friend Charlie Miller over to our home, and then Rob is actually working some overtime in the late evening.
We are so thankful to God for being a loving, forgiving and faithful God! What an honor to serve Him and to rest in His sovereignty each day! He is by far our greatest blessing!

The Long-Awaited Spaghetti Pictures

No child can survive without these in their baby book, so enjoy pictures of Megan's first try of spaghetti! Although she did enjoy the taste, she was especially fascinated by how cool the noodles felt. She would just pick them up and let them slide through her fingers. Someone gave us that cool, cover-everything bib, but somehow she still ended up sitting on some noodles and getting her bum dirty. Go figure!

The Future Concert Pianist

I am so happy that Megan loves the piano! It rates right up there as one of her favorite "toys." If she hears me playing, she'll walk right over and just reach up and play the keys. I usually pick her up then and let her sit on my lap or beside me on the bench and let her play. The only problem is . . . when I am teaching, she wants to show off to the students how she can play!!

Our Adorable Little Bunny

The full outfit view

Soooo cute (and yes, I colored her nose pink)

Megan with all her loot

Daddy and Megan (what beautiful smiles!!)

Well, these are pictures from Megan's first adventure of Trick or Treating. Isn't she the most adorable little bunny you've ever seen? I just used a pair of her warm fuzzy pajamas and added the cotton tail and we had the ears from Easter. I just took her around to a few of our neighbors (it was really chilly out), but they spoiled her good anyways.
It is such a blessing to be a mother!! I praise God for giving us Megan, she brightens up my days so many times! And even though she's little, I love having a girl to shop with=)

The Most Coveted Fashion accessory

I hope you all took advantage of the opportunity to vote for the government of our country. In my opinion, if you don't vote, you have no right to complain about who's in office. I really have no respect for people who do not vote.

The above little graphic is of the little sticker they were handing out...the most coveted fashion accessory of the day yesterday. Everyone who voted early was walking around the office proudly displaying their little tag.

In the spirit of election day, here are some good Political buttons I found online...thought I would share them with you all...hope you are Republican enough to get a chuckle out of them.

Here are some of my other favorites:

• Vote Democrat! The last decision you'll ever make!
• Vote Democrat! Because thinking for yourself is hard!
• Vote Democrat! Because we need an alpha male in the white house - AND her husband.
• Vote Democrat! Put a stick in the spokes of the capitalist economy!

Hope you enjoy those...and I'm sorry that my home state of MI was dumb enough to re-elect Granholm as governor. Glad I'm out of the state for another term of her mess.

Ok, well you all have a blessed rest of the week!

Things Are Going OK

Thank you all for your prayers for the Riley family and for our church.
Things have been proceeding as well as can be expected as we've seen God's grace evidenced in the lives of Mrs. Riley and her kids. The viewing and memorial service were very well attended and were blessed times of celebrating the life and testimony of Pastor. Praise the Lord for all the work he did while here on earth. The ministry at church continues as well as we continue to follow our Great Shepherd and Lord Jesus Christ.
I am getting the opportunity to preach more in the absence of Pastor Riley and the deacons are taking over some of the speaking responsibility as well. For the time being, the church is waiting to make any decisions regarding another pastor. The deacons believe it would be best to wait on that while emotions settle down etc.
We'll keep everyone posted on any changes or decisions that affect us. Please continue to pray for the family and church in the coming days and weeks.
till next time,
Rob
