A Fall Break

No, no, I didn't fall and break anything. I'm just taking a Fall break from blogging!

I'll be taking a little blogging break for a week or two.
There's lots to do, and hopefully lots of fun for myself and my family to look forward to! I'll tell you all about it when I get back to blogging! I will try to read and comment even if I'm not writing any posts myself because I don't know what I'll do without my daily dose of the village.
I really am going to miss you all.



In the meantime here's a few Fall pictures for you to enjoy!

















Halloween 2005 (Jayden's First Halloween!)

I loved his alligator costume!





Halloween 2006

Umma's little scarecrow!





Halloween 2007 (Mia's First Halloween!)

A little ladybug!



Jayden loved 'Pirates of the Caribbean', and he wanted to be Captain Jack Sparrow, but he refused to wear the dreadlocks. "Umma, this hair is too itchy!"





Halloween 2008
(Jayden had two costumes this Halloween. He wore his Captain Jack Sparrow costume again for his party in school and this time he asked to wear the dreadlocks, and then he was Obi Wan Kenobi for trick-or-treating).







Mia, of course, was a Duck!!




HAPPY FALL, EVERYONE!
I'll 'see' you all soon!
Take care and God Bless!



I am going to try and participate in Carol's "The Little Black Dress" Party at Charli and Me on October 22 (I'm hoping Blogger behaves and will publish the post I have scheduled for that date!). And Jayden actually helped me with the post (he took the pictures of me!). If any of you would like to join Carol's party you can find the details here.




Love to you all!,
Eileen

  2. What fun!!!! Have a grand time!!! Jayden's 1st Halloween reminds me of the time our daughter Laura dressed up Kellie (age 6 at the time) and little Neil (5 months at the time) as the Princess and the Pea...Neil was dressed as a pea pod...very funny!!! God be with you!!! Looking forward to your return! Cathy

  10. Awww you're having a break??? ENJOY, ENJOY!!! You have the most gorgeous grandchildren !! Those costumes are delightful. Halloween is not so big in S.Africa so we never get to see dress-ups like those.
    Lots of love to you and your family

  11. Nooooo, nooooo, come baaaack! How will we ever make it here without you, Eileen??

    My absolute favorites of your two cutie pies is the one of Jayden as a scarecrow and Mia as a duck...both so cute that there are just nowwords for it! That's also a wonderful picture of all of you in front of your home.

    Along with all the other praying today, I will be praying that you have a relaxing and loving vacation!

    blessings and loving hugs,
