Sue and the kids had a great time hollowing out and carving pumpkins
tonight. The little boys had the most fun with the pumpkin guts, while
Jacob and Megan handled the design and carving. Sue shared the story my
mother tells about making pumpkin pie from scratch (just say no :-), and
everyone went to bed with all their fingers. Whee!
We did the soccer thing this morning (it was 34 degrees!), then headed to Stone Mountain this afternoon for the Pumkin Festival. It was lots
of fun, seeing the train and the big pumpkin tree, watching people eat
turkey legs, and enjoying the beautiful afternoon. The kids enjoyed
bowling with pumpkins, running around in the Treehouse Challenge,
getting slimed in the Pumpkinpalooza, and riding little John Deere
tractors. Sue brought her trademark peanut butter sandwichs for dinner (what a good wife and mother! :-), and we headed home before it got too
chilly. What a fun day!
My mother was released from the hospital and reported to a physical
therapy place two days ago. She got to rest for a day, and then the
physical therapy began today. She is in good spirits and is handling
the pain from the knee surgery better. Please pray for continued
strengthening of her muscles and her new knee. Thanks!
