where has the time gone?!

I can't believe it's been almost 2 months since I've posted!  Wow do I have a lot to share!  Let's go back to September from where I last left off.....

I was very excited to meet my new nephew!  Elijah Rush was born 9-11-11, he's quite the handsome man!

Also a few weeks before that we brought home our 3rd Boston Terrier.... yes I know you're saying THREE!!!! It's a long story, but we have her and we love her!

Riley turned 3!!!!!

and also got Hand Foot and Mouth Disease.... oh my goodness, if you haven't seen this I pray for your sake you never go through it.  This poor child was miserable.  He had this back in September and still has some of the side effects from it.  These pictures were from the beginning of the sickness, I should have taken some in the middle but forgot.  Poor kid had these bumps on his bottom too.... :(

I turned 30 in October, holy smokes!  The big 3-0....and I'm gonna admit.  I seriously didn't have a problem turning 30, but it seems like ever since then life has given me tons of  hurdles.   I just keep climbing over them and hope that one day things will get easier.

The kids and I spent a day at the Renaissance Festival, sooo much fun!

October also brought Halloween!  Logan was a skeletor, yeah I don't really know what that is either, and Riley was Lightening McQueen!

October also brought the end to my time at my job, I found a job that was closer to home (I have been driving an hour each way).  So far the transition has been far from easy.  I ask for prayers in giving me strength to keep it up, and if nothing else, prayers that something brighter comes my way soon.

Here are a few other pictures from the last 2 months that I wanted to share....
