Halloween party

  Posted by Picasa

Faith hosted her 1st Halloween party this week. As you can see, it was rather difficult to capture the "picture perfect pose" so we opted to just get everyone in the picture. From L to R: Baby Pumpkin (Delaney), Baby Chick (Faithy), Grumpy Bear (Aidyn), Scrappy Doo w/o his ears (George), Daphne (Gillian), Cowgirl on horse (Bailey), Indian girl (Briley). Sure was lots of fun!!

Nana Time!

I've gotten to log a lot of Nana time these last few months. It's been so fun to hang out with my Nana. She's always so good to me. Mommy, Daddy and I greeted her at the airport with some balloons!!

Nana let me play with this little purse that was inside her big purse. It was fun to chew on! Later, she bought me some really fun toys!During Nana's stay, we discovered this little fox living under our back patio. He loved to come out and look around the deck. We even caught him napping. Nana and I could'nt take our eyes off him!
We met up with Nana in Nashville earlier this month! We had so much fun playing together!

Thanks, Nana for all the time you spent reading to me, playing with me and taking me shopping! I love you so much and am thankful for you!

More visitors and traveling...

We were blessed with an EXTRA special visitor this week. Mrs. Kelly came to Virginia to visit her brother, Sam, and his family. Mrs. Kelly lives in Benin West Africa. I've read about her family on their blog but this was my first time to see her! She sure is pretty!!
These are our friends, The Goldsons. They recently moved to Daddy's hometown of Memphis. It was fun to stop buy and see their new place. Mrs. Missi decorated it so well! From L to R: Nehemiah, Mrs. Missi, Mr. Jason, Titus, Daddy, me, Mommy. Next time, we want to visit you guys longer!!
My Great Aunt Debbie and her family came to stay with us last week. She had never been to D.C. before so I had fun playing tour guide. My cousins, Jeremy and Jordan held most of my attention. Uncle John was nice enough to stay with me so Mommy could go up in the Washington Monument with everyone else (I was sleeping).

Well, we've got one more special guest coming to visit this week (one of Mommy's friends from High School!). Then, our house will be empty until Thanksgiving when it will be packed at the seams as Daddy's whole family is coming to stay with us!!

Hope you are enjoying the fall! I sure am loving this weather. I ALWAYS want to be outside!!

Visitors and traveling..

We've had another fun round of traveling and visitors....here's a quick recap:Here we are with The Young family. From L to R: Cole, Marca, Ken, Faith, Kelci, Jaime, and Murray. We had SUCH an amazing time of worship with them and the Hallal singers. Faithy felt right at home in the arms of so many beautiful redheads!!
Our friends, The Cullers, came to D.C. for a visit during their fall break. From L to R: Elisabeth, Deni, Catie, Bret, Brock, Jaime, Murray and Faithy. We had a blast reconnecting with them and dining at the Old Ebbitt Grill. What a treat it was to see them!!
Here's Faith with Candice's sweet ones. It was a real treat for us to get to hang out with them ALL DAY in Cookeville while Murray was at the Zoe Leadership Conference. From L to R: Isabelle, Faithy, Anna Kathryn, and Carrigan. Candice (the blog nazi) has been a great friend of mine for 12 years!!! I can't believe it's been that long. She is a friend I will ALWAYS treasure!!This is Faith with our cousin, Cindy. She bought Faith the sweetest gifts during our trip to Memphis...a rainbow colored hedgehog and a book about the farm. Cindy and her husband, Jimmy Ray are dairy farmers. Faithy can't wait to visit their real farm!!
Here's the crew of kiddos we hung out with during our trip to Memphis....the Howard kids. From L to R: Luke, Faithy, Wilson, Emma and Ethan. We really enjoyed our time with this wonderful (and very funny) family!

P.S. I've got a special Nana time post coming soon! I've gotten to spend lots of time with her lately and have some stories to share soon!!!

Love,

Faithy

Meeting the Burkhalters!

I finally got to meet my Great Uncle Terry, Great Aunt Peggy, Cousin Eileen, her hubby Eric, AND Rajah, the kitty!! I had SUCH a good time with them. They are professed fans of my blog so I couldn't wait to introduce you to them!

P.S. I've never been around a cat before. I really like them....at least Rajah. She let me hug her, bite her ears, pull her furr off, just about whatever I wanted. She's the purrrrfect cat!!

This is my Great Aunt Peggy & Great Uncle Terry! They were so sweet to me!

Here I am with Eileen and Eric..Eileen tells some REALLY funny stories! I loved listening to her and Eric tell all their tales!!
Sweet Rajah...so sweet I could just eat her!I think I'll stick to just hugging her!
