We had a wonderful day at Gramma and Papa's house. The day would have been perfect if Aunt Lisa, Aunt Jenny, Grandma Barb, and Papa John could have been with us. We missed you all!

A Huge Success!!
Nate's fundraising efforts really paid off! Thanks to his hard work and the kindness of soooo many people who made donations, he was able to raise $500 for The Children's Home of Tampa. He is now putting together a video of the experience that I'm sure I'll have to post! Thank you so much to everyone who helped him...Enjoy some pics of him in action.

Nate the Humanitarian
Nate does a service project for his Gifted Program every year. This year, he decided that he wanted to do something for kids in foster care. He is presently making himself available to be hired by neighbors to walk dogs, take out trash or do light yard work for donations to help The Children's Home of Tampa. He is also in charge of a garage sale we are having in two weeks, to earn more money to donate. He said in the letter that he is distributing to the neighborhood that, "My little sister and I are so lucky to have been adopted at birth. Some children aren't that lucky, and I want to help them." Wow-he never fails to make me proud!
Let me know if you'd like to make a donation to the Children's Home or if you have items for the sale...I'll pass it along to Nate.
Diva

Halloween Fun
It was fantastic to have all of the kids together for Halloween! We started the party a week early with a visit to the Halloween Festival at Honeymoon Island. We had lots of fun, but Myara was having NOTHING to do with the haunted house! On Halloween night, everyone came to our house for some pizza and trick-or-treating. Only Savannah decided that her costume from the week before was perfect...Nate, Izzy, and Myara all switched!! Fickle, Fickle kids!! BOO!
