Fall Fun 2011

We have enjoyed so many fun Fall activities here in Mississippi!  On Saturday, October 29, we went to explore the Nichols-Boyd Pumpkin Patch.  We got to ride on a hayride pulled by an antique tractor.  We stopped to see the farm animals along the way, then we went to the Pumpkin Patch to choose our pumpkins.  There were also some fun games and activities out by the pumpkins, like a rope swing, a hay maze and a corn box (like a sand box, expect filled with corn).  Colson and Caleb both took a turn on the swing!  It was so much fun!!

On Halloween, we went to our new friends' house to meet up with some other friends to eat chili and have a fun time trick-or-treating!  Colson was Spiderman, and once he got the hang of trick-or-treating, there was no stopping him!  He has a blast going from house to house collecting candy!

Caleb is loving his new position as Worship Pastor.  He has done an incredible job leading worship at church the past 2 Sundays.  Colson loves his class and worshipping with other preschoolers in large group.  The past Sunday I (Brittni) began volunteering in the preschool ministry.  It is definitely a change from student ministry, but I had a great time and know that is where God wants me to serve.

We have had so many wonderful people make us feel so welcome here.  We are so grateful that God has put them in our path!  We met with our adult small group Sunday night and had a blast!  One of the couples has a little girl two weeks younger than Colson, and they really hit it off!  They had so much fun running around the restaurant together!!  Everyone in our small group was so sweet and really made us feel welcome and part of the group right off!

Today was Colson's first day at his Mother's Morning Out.  After a rough start, he did great!  His teachers said he did wonderful all morning.  He was not wanting to stay when I dropped him off, but by the time I picked him up, he was very excited and ready to go back next week!  I am glad we found a great place for him to go to school!

We are slowly but surely adjusting to life here in Mississippi!  We are looking forward to going back to Oklahoma to visit family over Thanksgiving!!

Thank You, Lord, for being so faithful to us!  You never leave us alone and walk beside us every step of the way.  You have provided for so much for us while we are here and away from family!  Thank You for being such an amazing God!!
