I took a few pictures of Cassidy the other day, it didn't work too well, she was a bit tired, however, I posted a couple anyway.

Hello!
I just wanted to share with everyone a cool little project that I am starting to do, I got the idea from my MOPs group (1st Cutlerville Christian Reformed Church). It's called "The Husband Project". The project is based on a book by Kathi Lipp. Kathi Lipp says, "It's about love." "It's about respect." "It's about letting your husband know you still think he's hot!" Anyway, she shows you how to take your marriage from ordinary to amazing in just 21 days. You can visit her website at http://www.kathilipp.com/ or just double click on the link below to go to the project details.

It is a pretty neat idea to rejuvinate and put some excitement back into your marriage, especially for mom's with young children, however, I think married women of any age can benefit from this project. I think it is so easy to focus on our children and forget about our men...I know I too often am guilty of this...so, Matt doesn't know what's coming, unless of course he's read this blog.

This morning Dylan and I went to the store and we purchased some paint so he could paint a face on his pumpkin instead of carving his pumpkin with a knife. As you can tell from the pictures above he had a lot of fun painting a scary picture on his pumpkin (He told me he was painting a scary face on his pumpkin because he wanted to scare his daddy).
I think I have an aversion to pumpkin carving for good reason. When I was 10 or so, I sliced my finger with a knife when I was carving my pumpkin and had to get stiches, it was a bit traumatic, or so I thought. The whole incident shouldn't have happened if I would have heeded my parents advice and waited for the proper pumpkin cutting knives which were being used by my sister and brother at the time, however, I was the typical impatient 10 year old. Anyway, my past experience with carving pumpkins and the fact that Dylan is only 2 1/2 is the reason we painted instead of carved.

( She has an ear infection and getting two teeth, however she remains quite content considering the circumstances...doing better that her mom would do)
(Unfortunately she decided not to look when I took this picture)These aren't the greatest of pictures, however, I figured I better post some pictures of my little girl, she is 6 months old today!!! I cannot believe how fast these past 6 months have gone. God is so good and faithful. Cassidy is such a blessing to our family, we love her to pieces and are excited to see how she grows and develops over the next 6 months.

Dylan wearing the fireman's hat that Grandma G got him to go with his upcoming Halloween outfit. (Notice the ladder in the back of the picture near the tree...all firemen have ladder's because they rescue things from trees).

Be Warned...don't take your 2 1/2 Yr. old and your 5 month old baby through a self-check out lane, it may cause a major headache!! On Tuesday this week Dylan went with my mom grocery shopping, he loves doing this, this was not a problem, until I showed up at the grocery store to get a few of my own things with Cassidy and grab him from my mom so we could head home and make dinner. Anyway, a trip that was only supposed to take minutes turned into what felt like an eternity. I went through the self scan area with my groceries because I only had 15-20 items and the regular lanes had long lines. I figured this lane would be a quicker solution, little did I know that while I was scanning my items, my son, who I thought was being very good was down on the ground checking out the self-check out machine. In a matter of minutes the machine started to act funny and all the sudden it said it was "shutting down"...I called for the service guy and as I did this I looked down to see my son with a flap to the machine open, he found the computer in the machine and shut the whole system down. I was extremely embarrassed. Let me tell you getting this this back up and running is a whole new story. Lets just say my mom who was getting a full weeks worth of groceries left the store before I did.
