Projects

Hope your Thanksgiving was blessed! We were at home for the day, but were invited to some friends for a Thanksgiving supper.
Please pray for Amber, she goes on Wednesday for her next appointment to the specialist.

Last Weekend with Grandpa and Grandma Heisey

We got to enjoy my Dad, Mom, Aunt Lynette and Uncle Brandon last weekend. The girls did not know they were coming and were very surprised!
We had a fun time and the weekend went too quickly!

A small prayer request. At the baby doctor last week, they discovered I have Marginal Placenta Previa. They gave me high hopes of things correcting itself, so please pray that it will and won't cause complications.

We enjoyed Saturday in Charleston. We went to an Aquarium and had a quick visit at the ocean.

Fun Days

Last weekend we surprised the girls and took them to the zoo. David had been putting in long days and we thought it was time for a family day. The weather was a perfect 80*. It is amazing to us how many times a child can go to the same zoo and still find it so exciting!

A train ride at the zoo. A highlight for Rissa to ride the " Choo-Choo"!

My precious Gems!

Taking a break

The most exciting thing for Jenny

A dream come true for Amber!!

Enjoying a library book

Rissa singing and preaching. She has a bit of "Jesus Loves Me" mixed in. It is one of her favorite songs

My Sweethearts

David has been working long hours and did not get to see much of the girls for a couple days. He surprised us all and came home early one evening. The girls were uncontrollably excited. He took them on a fun wagon ride.


Last Saturday the girls (even me) got to ride with David in the combine
Rissa was scared till she got inside, then she thought it was funny

Amber wanted this picture for the Blog. She is "burning the rubber off her tires", it is no wonder there is a hole worn through the back tire!

Jenny built this "church"

Play time

We had Amber to the specialist this past week for her check-up. He said her lymph nodes had not changed much. The one did get a little smaller if anything. He said that as a doctor he did not feel that a biopsy is necessary at this time, but as a parent, he would recommend one for comforts sake. He said what he is watching for is cancer, but he feels the odds are low, he just wants to keep an eye on her. She goes again in another month. We decided that if the nodes are still not any better, we will go ahead with the biopsy. I asked him if I should be more worried, he said I need to be concerned, but not losing sleep over it. Our prayer is that till next month, the nodes will be gone so Amber will not have to have the biopsy.


Rissa and her new shades

The girls opening a box from Grandma H. Rissa got the new pink shoes

Fall

We have been enjoying nice fall weather. Fall is my favorite time of year. I do miss the nice PA mountains changing their leaves. It is not the same here. Instead of raking leaves, I went out and planted Pansies in my flower beds, the official winter flower in the South. I have been learning how much the Southerners DREAD the "long winter months". (: I think I dread the long Summer months more! I guess we are becoming more 'Southernized'; We were at a campfire the other night, and we thought it was frigid outside, our noses were red and we were soon going to start looking up for the snowflakes. We got home, fired up the furnace, then saw the temperature was only 54*! (: I guess when only a month ago it was in the nineties, the fifties feel cold!

When I see Rissa on the slide, I often feel like I need to go out to catch her
