Indiana and Ike

MG starts his new job tomorrow. He's staying with our friends, the Lammerts, who are currently without electricity. Oddly, Ike hit the coast, ripping the roof off of MG's mom's condo and then headed 1200 miles northeast and knocked out power in Indiana. We are so glad Joan is safe and while I'm sure she's a little sad, she knows her stuff is just that...stuff.

We're praying for MG's first day to go well. Praying that we find the right house in the right spot. Tentative moving date is October 19.

Things we're praying about...

a house (the kids say 'with stairs if God thinks it's ok')

a job

the whitaker baby

the kersh baby

keepers

OK...and a picture because I hate posts without pictures.

Fletcher

Love this happy, surprise, sweet, full of hugs baby.

First Dress

Caroline wearing the dress I made for Rinn. She didn't want to try it on and certainly didn't want to have her picture taken. Sweet Rinn has adorable red hair and before I put the sash on the dress it was looking very 'Mrs. Roper'. This was also the first time I used the ruffler foot.

Marsh+Max+Mud=Happiness

Marshall and his buddy, Max, love mud. This was the first day. The second day looked similar. Underneath the mud Marshall's shorts are camo--MG claimed he scooped a half cup of mud out of mg's pockets when he washed them out.
