There is nowhere on earth I would rather be than in Colorado in the fall. The crisp, cool air, the colors of the leaves, so beautiful! It is also time for PUMPKINS! I was able to take a quick trip to the pumpkin patch this last weekend with Amelia. The boys were away hunting, so we took the opportunity to get a baby pumpkin for Amelia...which Grandma Judy carved so well! Amelia loved the pumpkins! She sat on them, picked up the baby ones, and loved tapping on them too! Then, last night we had a family carving evening. We didn't use any templates this year, as I am sure you can tell! We hope you all take some time this fall season to appreciate the beauty of God's work.
The boys went hunting this past weekend, which was also Jacob's very first hunt. On Saturday at 7:30am I received a call from a very happy husband saying the buck he got was "gigantic!" I can't wait to see pictures of the poor thing. Of course soon it will be mounted on my wall looking at me, so I won't need the pictures. Over 100lbs. of meat! That should get us through the winter! :)
We also have a prayer request to send out. Many of you know, and some may not, that our Amelia was born with a little extra toe on her left foot. There is an abnormal bone growth in her fifth toe, and so she is having corrective surgery on November 7th. I know that many children have much more serious surgeries everyday, but this one is my baby! Please pray for her recovery, as she will be in a cast for three weeks, and pray for her mama, that I don't lose it when she is put under! Thank you in advance for your prayers, we know God hears every one. I will post pictures of her cute little cast.
We truly hope you all are healthy and blessed. May God constantly remind us of how very blessed we are.
Much Love,
The Garrett Family
