Fall is here!

I can't believe it's fall already! Madelyn is in Kindergarten (and loving it!), Adriauna is in preschool (and finally loving it, we had tears for about a month), Brooklynn cries because she can't go to school, and Annabelle was 11 months yesterday! I think we are finally over our last hurdle with Brooklynn and her cyst. She had to have another surgery the last part of September. Then for her 1 week checkup there was too much fluid coming back so she had emergency surgery the next morning. She's had pressure dressings on since the second surgery. We go back next week for her (fingers crossed) final appointment. Her doctor has been wonderful during this time. Being humble and trying to figure out what's best for our little bundle of energy. Things at church are starting to slow down, only to pick back up in a couple weeks. Families have been hit with discouraging news, illness and all around disappointment. But through all of this, we know... we KNOW that God is in control. Derek and I have been volunteering in Madelyn's class (while Adriauna is in preschool) two days a week. Today was my day, but there was another parent coming in to help too. So I was given the morning off. Now you too can enjoy my morning off and look at all the pictures below that I have posted from the months since I have posted last (It's been too long!). I took fall pictures of the girls yesterday and they turned out SO WELL! I'm excited to post them, but I have to let Derek and the grandparents see them first. :) Hope this finds you all well! If there is anything, you would like us to pray for just let us know! Happy FALL! -Christin
