hannah was whipping something up in the kitchen

bath time

Hannah was jealous because she wasn't the one in the tub.

She *loves* the bath.Beau wasn't too happy about this endeavor at first.

Then he relaxed and started to enjoy the spa treatment.

welcome beau!

Leonard Thomas II was born on Thursday, October 15 weighing in at 8 lbs even. He is 21 inches long. He is perfect as can be. He is adjusting to life on the outside well and he sleeps like a champ.

Hannah loves him very much. She seems to think he is one of her dolls and we are working on our gentle hands.

God has been so good to our little family. We pray that both our children will soon come to a saving knowledge of Jesus as Lord and Savior. We are striving to raise them in the best possible Christian home and show them the spirit of Christ in all that we do.

whodunnit?

Our Sunday School class had a murder mystery party. As you can see: the theme of the night was the 80s. We had a blast and Len even solved the mystery. After all, in his own words, "I'm a cop!"

the aquarium

Don't let the Ripley fool ya, this is a fabulous aquarium and, in true Ripley fashion, there are "unbelievable" facts posted all over everything.

You can't read this sign, but I'll tell you what it says. See the little white specks?

"The scratches you see are the result of a SHARK ATTACK on the acrylic tunnel. [date]"

In other words, don't tap on the glass. It agitates the sharks.

the inn at christmas place

Len and I spent a lovely anniversary weekend in Pigeon Forge. We stayed at The Inn at Christmas Place and enjoyed Christmas in August. Thanks to Nana and Papa for watching Hannah while we were away.

We even enjoyed milk and cookies with Santa while he serenaded us with Christmas carols.

the big plunge

This was a lot funnier the first time when it took him 10 minutes to get down the slide. He had to scooch himself all the way down. We learned later that there's a certain degree of wetness that must be acheived for maximum slideability.
