October Pictures

Helen and I organized a Pumpkin Fest at NMSI---complete with a caramel apple bar, pumpkin carving, and costumes! Angela was a tractor (see below) and I was a gummy bear. Check out my claws made out of straws! Several of you have asked about the Belzers....I absolutely LOVE having them here!! The older girls helped organize the games and haul 40 pumpkins onto campus from the Pumpkin Patch. We were so grateful for their help! Here's Mariah, dressed as "Smarty Pants."

Below you can see Sarah dressed as Pippi Longstocking! Maggie was a shooting star (dressed as a star with a nerf gun in hand), but unfortunately I don't have a picture of her.

Yeah for caramel apples! My favorite caramel apple topping is Nutter Butter cookies crunched up! Yum! I delight in peanut butter in any form!

Earlier this month, 30 of us carpooled to Atlanta to attend the Catalyst Leadership Conference. The theme was "On Your Mark," and there were several famous speakers from Rob Bell to Louie Giglio, Chuck Swindoll, Andy Stanley, Dave Ramsey, etc. They said a lot of profound things, which may result in another post later on...
