Mike and Byron Playing.
Family Photo!
Andrew and Catherine also enjoying a little mud!! I wish these photos showed how muddy they were!!!! 
Byron trying to beat Andrew at Chess! Andrew is very good for a beginner. Byron never beat Andrew!!The kids doing what they love...finding firewood. The bigger the better.
This has been a slow month for adoption news. We had our 1st hearing on October 2. Now waiting on our first ruling 1-3 months! Also waiting on our next update any day. There has been only a few referral this month. I hope there will be a lot more to come!
We went on a camping trip to Piney Grove, MS with the F.'s. . The weather was great. The kids had a blast playing in the sand (really mud) by the lake. The dads had a great time playing basketball. The dogs had a fun time playing chase at the beach. Andrew became addicted to Chess. He had been wanting to learn to play for a long time. As luck has it....Mike brought his chess set and taught Andrew how to play. Byron and Andrew stayed up to 1:00 a.m. playing. Byron was unable to win!! We all had fun finding "Pizza Factory" in the middle of nowhere. Thank goodness for our GPS.
One strange event occurred with our GPS. When we passed the "Indian Mounds" (a lot of Indians are buried here), our GPS stopped working which caused us to get lost going to the camp ground. This has never happened before. It occurred both times (coming and going). Must be the Indian ghost!!!
