Busy Month

This month has been very busy for us as a family. Michael turned 4 months on the 8th, Shannon is still taking care of a former co-worker's baby and maintaining the house, and Mike (me) is juggling being a nurse, student, father, and husband. It's been a time of growth for us all (metaphorically for the adults, physically for the baby).

Key points for Michael this month:
October 3: Michael found his feet (he hasn't figured out how to eat them yet...
October 6: Michael went on his 2nd hike, it was in Idyllwild, CA with his friends from church
October 7: Michael was dedicated to God by us at Coast Vineyard, we went to Joe's Crab Shack afterward to celebrate
October 8: 4 month birthday, he began eating Rice cereal this day also
October 13: Michael helped his daddy pick out pumpkins at a pumpkin patch in Lakeside, CA.

Key points for Shannon this month:
September: Attended women's event with Coast Vineyard to discuss CS Lewis' book, Till We Have Faces-consequent prayer time with some ladies at Coast in which I saw a very clear vision from God calling me to lay down my complaints against Him, receive His love, acknowledge His sovereignty, and fight for freedom for others.
September/October: Been keeping my sanity as I watch two babies (both 4 months!)
October 4-6th: Leadership retreat with Coast Vineyard in Idyllwild
October 8: Sad, sad-my baby ate food other than from me : (
October 14: Meeting for a task force at our church in support of Love146 (www.love146.org)
October 20: Looking forward to one of Mike and I's first evenings out together in San Diego without baby

Key points for Mike this month:

Work
School
October 4-6th: leadership retreat with Coast Vineyard in Idyllwild

October 8: I got to feed Michael rice cereal!
October 16: I made (completed) Michael's Halloween costume with my own two hands. It only took 1 1/2 months, $30, lots of patience and a half-way deconstruction/overhaul/resizing to get it done :(

We apologize for a lack of pictures. Blogger isn't posting pictures right now. We'll try to post them soon. ~Mike & Shannon
