Just a few leaves...

We love Halloween!

Yes, I know as a Christian there can be some issues with this holiday. And I will admit I wasn't sure about allowing my seven year old to be a zombie; I was outvoted. But carving pumpkins and dressing up is so much fun!

Noelle, Sabrina and Aubrey were all Zombie soccer players. Now I just need to throw away all this candy!!

Chicago and Endo update

October 24th was supposed to be my big night...the CHER concert. BUT, she postponed:( Noelle and I had already scheduled an appointment with an endometriosis specialist in Chicago for that same day so we went ahead with our plans. We liked the doctor, which is a real answer to prayer. He did not have any immediate answers for Noelle's pain. Which leaves her petrified of her next cycle:( He is wondering if some of her pelvic pain is unrealated to endometriosis. So we have been referred to a urologist and a GI doctor. Noelle will have an ultrasound of her kidneys and bladder on Monday. Needless to say, she is very tired of the endless parade of doctors. We are praying for answers that lead to a reduction in pain!

While we were in Chicago we felt the need to eat great food, shop a "little", and have some fun! Noelle's favorites are Vera Bradley and LUSH! So she is stocked up with bath luxuries for awhile.

Sabrina's latest interest is Legos, so we had to go to the Lego store. This is Noelle and Lego Ironman!

Noelle's friend, Aubrey happened to be in Chicago for school that same weekend. The girls played soccer together for a number of years so we decided to go to a Chicago Fire game.
