It's Eric's birthday today! If you see him this week, make sure to wish him a happy birthday in person, or drop him a note or message online or by text! We've been busy this weekend enjoying some trick-or-treat events for Oliver and spending some time outdoors in the beautiful fall weather before it gets too cold again.

We’ve had a busy week filled with some great family moments, but we also have been dealing with some sick kiddos who are fighting colds and having difficulty sleeping at night! This means that Eric and I have also been having difficulty sleeping at night. This past week was also Amazon Prime Early Access Deals and Walmart Deal Days, which are like early Black Friday deals, which kept me busy browsing through sales to share with you all! This weekend is also the fall “retreat” for Eric and his student ministry, which is a one-day extended night for youth group that they are calling a Fall Focus Night to look ahead at their ministry year.
