Pumpkin soup in a pumpkin. 🙂 

Shane found a pumpkin pillow.

Nice pumpkins…

Crazy pumpkins!

I decorated the front porch and added some plants to brighten up the area. 

Drinks with my hubby. Cheers!
Then meeting up with one of my best friends from college and her hubby for a dinner at Beatrice Inn.

So happy we got to catch up with this amazing cool couple! I missed you guys so much! Love you guys… Come back to NYC~~ please. 🙁

Kids play all sorts of sports in our town’s park, and today they set up a benefit community block party with local vendors and lots of activities for all.

Shane playing frisbee with his friend… and a police officer(?)

My all time favorite fall activity is going to a farm and picking fruits with my family. 😉

It’s a bit of a drive but we love coming to this farm so we can also pick grapes.

Shane nailed a “camera” smile.

I’m hosting a Girl’s Discipleship group at our house this afternoon. Chloe has been a part of this discipleship group, organized by a group of moms who have the similar age girls at our church. As a mother, my greatest desire is for my children to be so passionately in love with Jesus Christ and so firmly planted in the gospel that their faith will remain unshakable once they become adults and leave home. One thing I strongly believe is having christian friendships that can help through their spiritual walks, encourage each other and keep each other accountable through their journey of faith.

Today is my turn to do the lesson and the topic I chose is, “jealousy”. 

I put together a little powerpoint presentation to help me keep track of my thoughts.

Some sweets to keep them awake during the lesson. 🙂

My beautiful group of girls!

Then some play time afterwards!

On his first try.

Well done.

It is Andrew’s birthday today and I made his favorite food for dinner. Korean meat dumplings & pulled pork sandwiches.

To celebrate Shane’s birthday, we took him and his best friend to Dave & Buster’s  to play.

Lots of candies, lemonade, ribs, burgers and fries…it’s all good because it’s his birthday!
