Pumpkin Train

Kyle was out of town this weekend so Nonna treated us out to trip on the Pumpkin Train. Starting in Noblesville we rode 30 minutes out to a small pumpkin patch. The weather was wonderful and we all had a great time.

little photographer

Carter has become obsessed with taking pictures with my camera. Thank goodness for the digital camera. I can't imagine how many rolls of film this child would go through. I'll look back at the 20-30 pictures he takes in a day and find one or two good ones to keep. Here is his latest shot.

Taylor Family

I think most of my blog readers already know the devastating news about my friend, Shannon Hunter. Her parent's home in Terre Haute, IN burnt down a couple of days ago. They had no home insurance and they lost everything! It not only effected her parents but also Shannon's brothers and her very small niece and nephews.

We met Shannon's husband, Simon, thru Kevin (Kyle's brother). Simon is such a close friend to the Meek family that he has actually experienced Meek Christmas and Thanksgiving first hand. Simon and Shannon married just over two years ago and now have adorable twin baby boys! The Hunters are a sweet, loving family and wonderful friends. I've met Shannon's mom on a couple of occasions and she is a loving grandma to lots and lots of grandchildren. (Shannon comes from a very, very big family!) We recently saw Shannon's parents this summer at a BBQ at her house. They were a real pleasure to be around. They seemed so happy to spend time with Shannon and Simon and to love all over their new grandbabies.

Since the tragic fire, so many people have been reaching out....donating money, clothes, furniture and housewares. I am amazed at what wonderful friends and family I have. So many people have asked to donate....many of who have never met Simon or Shannon. I feel lucky to have such wonderful people in my life. I especially want to thank my aunts, mom and my friends Nicole and Sandy for all of their donations. You have such big hearts!
