Attempt at Sister Pictures ~

The key word here is "attempt." Yes, I attempted to get a two year old and an eight month old to sit together, act lovingly and smile for a picture. As you can see from the above photos the attempt failed...but the girls still are cute and it was fun watching them interact with each other.

Taebo Moves ~

Lately it's been too cold for me to go outside and exercise so I've resorted to a Billy Blanks taebo workout video (FYI: I mute it so I don't have to listen to his voice, no offense). :) Anyway, Ruthie has started joining me in this routine...I actually have used it as an activity for her so I can do chores. She does the workout while I do laundry, clean, etc. It's funny because she usually ends up eating Cheerios and watching it by the end of the workout.

The Joys of Having Daughters
Naomi crawls around and usually has something in her hands...her favorite thing to play with are Huli's (the dog) toys. We try our best to stop this behavior :)

Today Ruthie was playing with a flashlight and Naomi tried her best to "catch" the light on the ground...it was so cute watching her crawl around grasping for the light.

Ever since we celebrated Brad's birthday, Ruthie wakes up each morning announcing it again by saying, "Happy Birthday!" She usually sings the song each day too.

Every time we hear a siren Ruthie declares, "Pray!"

I had Ruthie go over to Brad and say, "I love you," and when she did so apparently it didn't sound right because I heard Brad say, "You see a llama?"

First Baptist Church Broadus ~

We were able to share at a church a couple hours from Ekalaka. We enjoyed being able to share where the Lord is leading us, but as you can tell from the last two pictures our girls were pretty cold and tired by the end of the day.

Our Living Quarters ~

Some family members have been asking for pictures of our "apartment." We live in a nicely furnished basement, with pretty walls :)

17 Degrees ~

It's been so cold here lately. Both the girls have colds so we haven't even tried to venture outside this whole week. A huge branch on the tree across from the house (see above picture) collapsed from the weight of the snow one morning.

Praying & Reading ~

When Brad and I have our quiet times in the morning Ruthie enjoys doing the same...although she doesn't last too long! :)

Autumn Colors ~

Brad likes the way my red hoodie looks against the colors of these beautiful leaves. I truly enjoy Fall weather! It's so beautiful in Montana in the Fall.
