Fall Pumpkin Fun 2013/Scrapbook Day October 2013

We made our annual trip to the pumpkin patch with some friends last weekend. Naturally the kids had a ball. We took the opportunity to go in the greenhouse located at the grounds. Miss M had a lot of fun pretending she was in a forest with dinosaurs. We enjoyed picnic lunch outside and some fun fellowship with friends. The next day was the 13th of the month, so scrapbook day for this year. It fell on a Sunday. Our church does not meet until 3 in the afternoon, so Sundays are typically a morning of rest. We chat with grandparents back home via Skype or other family members, watch plenty of cartoons, sip coffee leisurely through the morning, and somehow we still manage to be late to church and hailing a taxi to get there on time! On this particular day, the K Man took a late nap and Miss M and I went to church on our own. We love our church. I cannot say enough about it. God has richly blessed us with a fabulous community and a church home here in Tokyo, something we thought we would have a hard time finding. He is good and faithful to His children. After church, we had some friends over for pizza and to watch an American football game. It was a relaxing day filled with fellowship and sweet time as a family. Enjoy the pictures of the pumpkin patch. I also threw in some pictures of the kids enjoying some fabulous pumpkin spice cookies all the way from Texas. Thank you, cyberspace friend M, for sending us the delicious fall cookies and mama some pumpkin spiced latte mix from Starbucks. You are the BEST! Life, friends, is good.
