Fall Blessing


Right off the bat, here is our baby compare picture to scale of Grace and Liza at 12 weeks old (Liza's current age).  Liza is 50 percentile weight and 78 percentile height as of a few weeks ago.  Grace was always 100 percentile.  Wow so different!

Its been over a month since I last blogged.  The end of September we visited Grandma Merle Jean.


The same day we attended Spirit of Life Four Square Church in Crow Agency to listen to the Four Square Church president Glenn Burris Jr. speak.  Four Square Church has over 1600 churches so it was an honor to have the president come preach on the Crow Reservation.  


Glenn Burris Jr, and Pastor Ken Pretty On Top closing prayer.


Tuff got away to camp for a night and fish a bit.  His campsite on the Tongue River Reservoir.


Woke up with the sun and took this beautiful photo.





This video just makes me laugh.  Tuff made his own rope swing to swing into a freshwater creek.  Cold!


Tuff stuck around the Crow Reservation to do color commentary at the Lodge Grass Homecoming football game.  His brother Jay did the play by play.  After the game Tuff and Josh Stewart hung out with the kids that were around town.



And because Tuff is gone often, he took Grace for a daddy-daughter date night on the Yellowstone riverbank.




I hope you all have had the wonderful fall we have.  Its been so pleasant here in Billings and we have been able to take walks everyday.  My eager walking partner is always Luna and sometimes I can convince the others to come along.







October 8th-12th Yaseer came back to town.  He brought his mentee Omar, to be launched into ministry in Bismarck, North Dakota.  Tuff, Yas, and Omar traveled there to drop off Omar.



They spoke at New Song Community Church that Sunday.  You can watch below.  The head pastor, Kurt Chaffee, starts the sermon at minute 19:03 and Tuff comes in at minute 31:25.


The day Yas and Omar arrived to Billings, Grace severely injured both her wrists at toddler gym.  Not sure what the injury extent was, I splinted her wrists and brought her in for x-rays.


The verdict was sprained wrists.  She was unable to use them at all for the first three days.


So Muffin, her puppy did a lot of consoling.


And Liza too.  She did a lot of consoling.



Yas loves Cafe Rio so much we went the night he got into Billings and the night before he left.
Here is Liza and Tuff chilling at Cafe Rio.


This is the second trip to Cafe Rio.  Me and my girls.



Picnic on a restaurant floor?  Ok I'll do it because my wounded wrist warrior is being so sweet.


Then this past weekend Jim and Peggy Sauer, my "second parents" from Minnesota drove through Billings and stayed a few days.  They were on vacation at Glacier National Park.


The weather was so nice we decided to hit a giant bucket of balls.  It had been a while for me and took me about 40 strikes before I finally felt loose.


Lessons for Goodie.



The next day we went back to the driving range and at 5pm it was 80 degrees!  Check out Goodie in the video below:


Liza would rather sun tan for now.


More fall blessings.  Grace, Liza and I went to Grandpa's Farm with M.O.M group last Thursday.




The main feature at Grandpa's Farm is the corn maze.  Yep I braved the maze with a toddler and infant.  But I had the other mom's to help and make sure we made it out.

Inside "The Maize."



On lookout bridge inside maze.

At the end Grace picked out a pumpkin.  You can see a week after injuring her wrists she is out of the braces but cautious with her wrists turned and bearing weight.


Now for a little Love at the end of the big blog update.
