She's Sun and Rain

 This year Adam and I got to go to Villa Rica for Halloween weekend. Adam was asked to preach at his parents church and so we were able to do the 'trunk or treat' with our niece Ava. She was tooo precious. Tinkerbell of course.  Tinkerbell with Uncle Adam  Mom and Dad and Tinkerbell  Getting candy out of the pool  The cake walk! Man that cake was good!  Mostly she just wanted to swing :) With Aunt Ginny :) I love being an aunt! My non-techy self can't figure out how to rotate the video. So, here it is sideways. She loves Phil Collins. LOL.

 This is us at our storage unit in Leland, NC just outside of Wilmington. We had our stuff here because we 'thought' that was where God was leading. Turns out he did, but just for a short time. We were so blessed because we were able to spend time with the Smith family. They were generous enough to come help us move out of the unit along with my mom.  Eli loved the ramp that moved up and down. He wanted to ride on it with Papa!  No more storage! Hurray!  Now, let's head to Charlotte!  Consider all of these the "Before Photos". :) Coming up - a few After shots...when it starts to look like after shots :)

This fall we went to Adam's hometown for a visit and went to the Villa Rica Gold Rush festival. He grew up in a small town west of Atlanta. Here are a few fun pictures from the parade :) Sweet Ava.  The family at the Parade in the back of Adam's dad's truck.  I love that they still say "In God We Still Trust". SO Important.  Villa Rica was the site of Georgia's first gold rush.  We also went to the Carolina Balloon Fest in Statesville, North Carolina this year. We have both been wanting to go, so we finally did. Two 1/2 hours later in traffic and a lot of cash, we were there and enjoyed watching the balloons lift off. It is definitely beautiful and something everyone should see once.  On our way out...we saw this. The irony of the Mona Vie sticker (supposedly helps you live healthier longer....) and the wheelchairs in the back. I'm sorry if this is offensive, but it made us laugh!
