Our Journey's Theme Song

Welcome to the Family

This was a song on an album my family listened to growing up and when I heard it again a few years back we decided to TRY to make it our family's theme song especially with our upcoming adoption. We will try to live up to the lyrics.

Welcome to the family,
We're glad that you have come to share your life with us
As we grow in love and may we always be to you,
What God would have us be a family always there,
To be strong and to lean on.

May we learn to love each other more with each new day.
May words of LOVE be on our lips in ev'rything we say.
May the spirit melt our hearts and teach us how to pray,
That we might be a true family...

Halloween - Trick or Treat















We had a trick or treating marathon. We started the weekend before at our annual camping trip for the Halloween weekend. Tyler and Justin stayed at the campground. We carved pumpkins together on Saturday. Since Becky was in the hospital with Kylie, there was less competition for the best carved pumpkin. Al, Troy, Ryan and Natalie stayed at our house. Megan was a wicked witch, Tyler - spiderman, Ryan - a dragon, Natalie - princess, and Justin - Ninja. Megan was a little hesitant at first, but once she found out candy was involved she became a lot more outgoing. We also went to JCI's annual trick or treating through the cubilcles. This is definately the most candy per square foot option. Finally, we ended our Halloween by cruising through our new neighborhood with some of Ty and Meg's new friends.

Fall Leaves




We've had such a warm fall that there are so many leaves yet to fall, but we were able to rake up a few piles for the kids.

Welcome Baby Kylie





Becky and Scott proudly announce their baby girl, Kylie Rae Reed. She was 7 lbs, 9 oz. and 19 inches long, born on Oct. 26. She is adorable. We carved a special pumpkin just for her.

End of September Trip to Ohio







We spent a beautiful weekend in Ohio at the end of September. We went to a pig roast where Tyler rode a pony and Megan played in the corn fields. We also went for a hay ride and picked out pumpkins.
