Celebrating October

-
Well, the event I attended this weekend did not work out so well for Thread Head, not the right venue for me, I guess. It was a bummer considering all the work I did in preparation, BUT the extremely bright side was that is freed me up to enjoy Sunday with my family.
It was a perfect fall day and we headed out to our favorite local pumpkin patch. What a phenomenal day. It was a great day to pull the camera out and snap a few (or a TON) of photos!

Dr. Seuss Party, Part 1 Decor and Food

I have to say,  Bruce and I totally knocked ourselves out to throw Lucy the best Dr. Seuss 4th birthday party that we could and I am pretty proud of the results!  It was a wonderful day for her and hopefully for all her friends that came. Our kids have LOVED the story The Lorax for a while now and were so excited to go see the movie.  Bruce had a brilliant idea to make his own truffula trees .  With some PVC pipe and spray paint he put these together.  I made the tops out of tissue paper (tutorials widely available).  Of course, once I got started on them, I just had to make some extras to hang around the dining room.  I used the extra paper to make a super colorful one for the front porch.  These were so easy and cheap to make, I highly recommend them as party decorations for all different types of themes!   I printed out some of my favorite Dr. Seuss quotes and gussied them up with some fancy paper cutters (Thanks, Lisa!)  and hung them around the dining room

  Our baby girl is 16 today.  This has been an extraordinary year for her.  She has dominated her academics, was a leader on her future problem solvers team, and was part of a marching band that competed in finals at the State level.  She is interesting and kind and bold in her own way.  We are so proud of the person she is becoming!  All that AND she recently received her acceptance email to the Gatton Academy !!  It is a two-year residential STEM program on the Western Kentucky University campus in Bowling Green, KY.  It's basically college with training wheels.  This was a goal she started with Grandad Lowbridge many, many moons ago and although we will miss her like crazy....I can't wait to watch my daughter SOAR!  Birthday Interview What activities/sports/clubs were you involved in this year?

This is Big Poppa filling in for Mama Gast. I wanted to show a couple pictures of one of the most wonderful things to happen in our lives. She's an 8lb. 11oz. reminder that there is such a thing as perfection in the world. A 21 inch reminder that there is nothing that lifts the spirit as much as the limitless possibilites that comes with new life. And she's a living testament to the power of love. Momma and baby are both great and should be home soon (with more pictures to come.) Good- bye for now. Papa
