Thanksgiving and Hope

Monday when Jason went to get the transmission, the parts yard informed him that they found a crack in the exterior part....but if we still wanted it they would pay to have it welded for us and also knock $200 off the price...so we almost got it for the price of the first one. So we are hoping tomorrow we can pick it up and FINALLY have it put into our van. Crazy, but hoping this is the last car problem for awhile. We are hoping to also sell "rocket", Jason's car....so if you know anyone who would be interested in a Nissan 240 SX...let us know.

But the best news is.....yesterday the Union and Boeing announced that they had come to a tentative agreement. Some details were released today and Jason has to go with the rest of the union members to vote on Saturday. So please keep the prayers going that at least 50% plus one vote to accept this new contract....that would mean Jason could go back to work on Monday!! After 8 weeks and some stressful times, we are hoping this is the case. The new contract also extended the next negotiations from 3 years to 4 years.....the longer the better! We will let you know the outcome come this weekend....and thanks again to everyone that has been so generous and helpful during this time.

Now I lay me down to sleep....

The other night Jason and I were going to bed and all of a sudden my heart stopped because I heard a weird voice coming from Angel's room. Well...after a few seconds we realized that Angel had grabbed her Guardian Angel toy from the top of her bookshelf and she was playing it over and over again. We started laughing.......but after 20 minutes of non-stop "Now I lay me down to sleep" prayers we were wondering if she would ever stop. She would play it over and over again trying to remember the lines......what were we to do, go in there and say "enough praying....go to sleep!?" So funny, didn't come out that great....but hope you can hear it.

The "Pumpin House"

Yesterday we went to a local pumpkin patch to let the girlies find their own little pumpkins. Angel was so funny. She kept walking around saying "I love this place....I love this farm" and then kept telling us we were at the "pumpin house". So cute. She liked the goats and llamas which she called "mamas". Emma was fascinated by the ducks and said "UCK"...they were more interested in all the fun things around them than in taking pictures....but here are a couple shots.

Pretty Red Shoes

Thanks Aunty Megs for my sparkly red shoes....and my Christmas dress from last year still fits too!!

Couldn't Have Said it Better...

...read THIS. Pray, fast and offer up small sacrifices for the next 8 days until the election!! The most vulnerable depend on our votes!!
