Curtis Family: { October = Pumpkins}

the month of october has proven to be full of God's goodness...busy and emotional! and as always God is faithful! we started out the month losing jeff's grandpa of 91 years! what a long life to live and yet it came down to one day that will remain the most significant of all 91 years...he repented and accepted Christ as his personal savior the day before he would pass into eternity! praise the Lord for His patience, mercy, grace, long-suffering and compassion to allow grandpa to hear the truth one last time and to finally submit to it! it was a great reminder to me of how precious my salvation is and makes me love Christ all the more. now when peyton prays she seems to always add, "thank you that grandpa frost is in heaven" and although i know she doesn't quite understand it's still sweet to hear those words!

like every october there is always time for the pumpkin farm and this month we made it to two different farms and apple hill! i'm surprised with all the activity that baby rielyn hasn't chosen to arrive early ;) apple hill was a great day to get away and enjoy time with grammy and aunt sallie and give them a reprieve from all the decisions they needed to make for grandpa's memorial and affairs. Next was bishop's pumpkin farm where we enjoyed lots of animals, pumpkins, yummy food and lots of running around. Finally, our last pumpkin farm was with some of our friends from church. Needless to say we have many pumpkins sitting on our porch!

i can definitly say it was a busy october and now i can't believe we are nearing the end of the month! this only means that baby rielyn is 3 1/2 weeks from her expected arrival!! wow!! is all i can say...we are super excited yet don't quite feel prepared, then again can you really be prepared! we definitly find comfort in knowing that the Lord only gives what we can handle and that He gives us what we need when we need it and usually not any time sooner...i look foward to having to rely on my savior for wisdom and strength and i am excited to see how He will use me in the lives of my soon to be 3 children!

i added some pictures of this month...enjoy!
