WOW! I can't believe how much time I let slip by since my last entry! I appologize to our loyal readers (haha!) and to those who have been sending me emails asking for an update. We've been busy to say the least!!! Where do I start??

Ok, Aiden had his first on-stage debut (check out the cute pictures!) in front of a crowd! We had one of our infamous Fifth Sunday all-day singing sprees in August and went to two churches for the day. Aiden sang at both churches. He was such a little ham! He got up there with his microphone and sang with us like he was born to do it, which he was born to do just in case you were wondering! I can see the girls following closely in his footsteps. They are already loving performing Wiggles songs and holding the microphone while the sing, just like Aiden used to. God is going to bless us with SO many fun years ahead, I can already tell!

Funny story:
At the last church we were at, Aiden followed this beautiful little girl that was around his age all night long. He would play with her and hug her. He was so sweet and funny to watch. Well, when we got in the car to leave Aiden looks at us, very seriously, and says, "Momma, I really like hugging girls!" And then he grinned so big! He's truly a ladies man! Now when he sees a pretty girl, he just lights up. It's really cute to watch, but should I be excited about this or not?? Only time will tell.

I can safely say that Autumn has brought much better health to our house. The kids aren't sick nearly as much nowdays. We had an excellent Halloween, complete with trick or treating with the Sartins and a Halloween Party in Puckett with the Purvis family! It was a blast. Aiden dressed as Spiderman and the girls were little witches. Their heads are so big that the pointy hats didn't fit, so they really looked more like baby gothic princesses...oh well. They were still darn cute! We didn't get great pictures this year, but they're at the uncooperative age. Maybe they'll grow out of it soon. :)

We also had a visit from the Holleys in October. Jeremy, Jenn and Maddy were in town for a few days and this is the first time we've been able to see them since last year. It was so fun. Maddy is exaclty 9 months younger than Aiden and 8 months older than my girls so it was a fun mix. Aiden loves Maddy and says she's his girlfriend, which is fine by me! She's so cute and sweet and I already know she comes from good folks. The problem? Maddy could care less. Aiden kept trying to hug her and show off his toys to her, and she was so not into him. Poor Aiden, but he didn't give up and by the end of the weekend they were both sad to see the other go. Aiden is STILL talking about Maddy. We can't wait a year to see them again. I foresee a trip to Nashvegas in my future!!!

So the girls are getting SO big! True to form, they have flip flopped personailities once again. Camden is now dominant and Carsen is the huggy-lovey one. Cam will quickly tell you no when she doesn't want something, and both girls will push the other down if they're cornering on the other one's teritory (whatever that might be!) which can be pretty funny or pretty brutal...depending on the situation. Carsen talks plainer (more plain? eh. Sorry Mrs. Neal, I can't remember which way to go on that one!) than Cam, but less often. Last night, Carsen hit Camden on the head. I put her in time out (oh yes, it has begun) and then we had our moment where I tell her what she did, she hugs me and I make her hug Camden. I said,"No go hug your sister, Carsen," and she looked at me with those big, blue eyes and shook her head no. It was pretty funny! Carsen is notorious for loving you and giving you a big kiss then hitting you square on the head. I don't know where she gets that, but Aiden did it, too, so I guess it's normal. Camden is worse at pushing and yelling. She will scream at Carsen or Aiden before she pushes them, so they usually move. It's like a warning, I guess. She is so funny. She will be the bossy butt for sure. Poor Aiden is such a trooper. He just loves them both so much. He, for the most part (unless he's tired) will share whatever he has with them. He calls them his babygirls. I hope and pray that he forever watches over them with the love and care that he does now. I know it's alot to ask, but I pray that they never fight! (haha!)

So we are gearing up for Christmas! Aiden's b'day is December 13th and his party will be Sunday Dec. 16th from 2-4. This is after the Christmas program stuff at church is all over so I will have plenty of brain power to devote to the cause. He is getting a Power Wheels Jeep Hurricane for his b'day and WE are so excited! I think we're more excited than he is. When he sees the Power Wheels section at Wal-Mart he asks for the red car instead. Well, if you know Anthony and how Jeep crazy he is, you know that Aiden is getting the Jeep, not the red car. I personally feel like when he gets the Jeep, he'll love it and forget the big red car.(Note the Wiggles reference) We shall see!!!

Speaking of Wiggles, for those of you who follow the Fab Four, you know that Greg Page, the Yellow Wiggle, had to leave the group due to health complications this year. Well, the first video featuring Sam Moran as the Yellow Wiggle came out a few weeks ago and of course, we had to have it. Aiden and I purchased it at Wal-Mart one day when I had him by myself. He immediately noticed that it was not Greg on the cover and wanted to know why. I told him all about Greg getting sick and Sam, being a great guy and coming in and taking his place. We actually saw Sam as the Yellow Wiggle at our concert so I told Aiden this and he seemed to be ok with it. We got in the car and I put the video in and Aiden watched it with lots of giggles and singing and clapping, just like all the others. I was relieved!! Now he calls it his Sam Wiggle video. When he explained the video for the first time he said, "This is my Sam Wiggle video. This is Sam (points to Sam on the cover)and he's a real good guy. He was at our concert! Greg got sick and Sam took him to the doctor and took care of him and when Greg gets better we won't have to watch Sam anymore." It's pretty funny to hear their take on things. He was so excited when we went back and watched a tivo'd Wiggles from that morning with Greg on it. He said, "YAY! Greg is all better and we don't have to watch Sam anymore!" I don't know what that says for Sam, but I think he'll do just fine. I give any Wiggles-associated videos 5 stars! I can't wait until they're close enough in concert again to take the girls. (And yes, I realize I'm probably more excited than them about this possibility! What can I say...I'm a Wiggles Groupie!)

Ok, and finally for an update on our house. We have land, it is cleared off and we are waiting now for the architect to get our plans drawn out. He is going with Anthony tomorrow to view the land so he will understand more of what we need as far as size goes. I will update if there's an update. :) This building a house is a slow-go. Pray for patience on my part. I need it desperately. We are SO BLESSED to have my parents who are SO lenient in letting us live with them. It's been over a year now and they haven't booted us out yet, so I pray that God will also grant them patience to deal with having their home overrun by children and TOYS! (More toys than children most of the time!) Say a prayer for us and our parents this month, please!

I promise I won't let three months go by again with no update! More to come...
Love,
Mandye
