Last Weekend in October

I cannot believe October is almost over.  The month has just FLOWN by!!!  It has been lots of fun but also really busy.  We enjoyed a really fun last weekend of the month.  It started Friday afternoon with a really fun fall family photo shoot.  NGN photography is a friend of ours new photography business.  Natalie is just 16 and has an amazing eye for photography.  We were happy to support her new business and get some really great pictures.  We've just seen a few little previews but how cute are these!!  
 We enjoyed a fun dinner at Chilis and then it was off to the airport to pick up my parents.  It was such an exciting thing to be able to pick them up after their exciting news.  Lots of hugs and tears!!  The kids made a Team Gary sign to welcome them home.  We are all still in awe of what God did.
 Saturday morning I was up at 5:15 to get in a long run before a busy day.  Paige and I did it!!  We ran 6 miles.  Didn't know if we could ever do it but we did!!!
 Then Matt and I had the opportunity to go to a wedding of a friend of mine Katy.  She is a wonderful blogging friend and God has written an amazing love story between her and Chris.  The wedding was beautiful and the most Christ centered wedding I have ever been to.  Such a picture of God's faithfulness.  Plus the wedding was fun because it was in the morning so it included brunch foods and who doesn't love brunch foods.  They had a grits bar - so Southern and so fun!
 After the wedding, we headed quickly back over to the soccer field.  We missed Ben's game but were able to make it to the end of the season party and see him get his trophy.
 So proud of our little guy!  He has had a really great season.  He got his first goals and also played so hard.  He has learned so much about soccer.
 Late in the afternoon we went to Isaac's 4th birthday party.  Kim did a great job with a fun Halloween themed party.  The kids loved getting dressed up in costumes.  Love our Jengo Fet and Super Girl.
 Kate and Eli looked so cute together as Super Man and Super Girl.
 There is nothing more fun than roasting marshmallows in costumes.  What a fun party it was!!
 Sunday was a great morning at church and then lunch with the East family.  The kids were so excited to play with Perry since he has been gone for a couple of weeks.  We also got to go to dinner with Uncle Brett who was in town for the day.  It was great to see him for the first time in almost 6 months.
I really busy weekend but full of reminders of God's love and faithfulness!
