How far would you go to save your lost tooth???

Last Saturday, I took the kids to McDonald's in Greenfield, Indiana for an early lunch. Jonathan was practicing with the quarte,t and the kids and I were starved, so off we went. Parker got his usual, Fish Sandwich combo meal and was almost finished eating when he said, "Look Mom, my took is about to fall out!" Sure enough, he was right, it was bleeding and just hanging there by a thread. He had a bite still in his mouth so he said he was going to the bathroom to spit out his food and would come back and let me pull it out at the table! Yuck...... A few minutes later, he came out of the bathroom grinning from ear to ear and holding up his tooth! He said that when he went to spit out his food his tongue hit his tooth and it went into the toilet!!! He quickly stuck his arm down in the toilet to retrieve his treasure!!! He said he had to get it so he could put it under his pillow! After hearing his story, the first words from my mouth were, "Did you wash your hands after putting it in the toilet?" His reply, "Well, NO!" I immediately sent him back in to scrub his hands with soap!
The tooth fairy did find our house on Saturday night and we had a happy little man on Sunday morning!

Welcome Hunter!!

Hunter Drew Dunn arrived in this world today t 12:15pm to Montie and Elaine Dunn. He was born via C/S and both mommy and baby are doing fine. Due to strict hospital visitation policy, big brothers, Collin and Blake are not able to see him until he comes home. :( I'm sure this is very disappointing to these little guys! Hunter weighed 7 pounds and 11 ounces. Daddy forgot to tell me how long he was. I'm full of germs myself so I won't be going to visit for a few days either! Congratulations to the Dunn family on boy #3!!! You are outnumbered now!!! :)

Happy Fall Ya'll...

National Quartet Convention 2009

Once again, we were able to attend part of the National Quartet Convention in Louisville, Kentucky. We thoroughly enjoy going and would love to be able to attend more of the convention. However, this year it was not possible. Our only night there was Friday evening. We got to see some of our favorite groups, chat with some of our friends, and pick up several of their new CD's. Here are several pictures from our view of the NQC. Some of them are slightly blurry, sorry about that! (I'm posting these for Jonathan to view up in Winamac!!!) Just click on the picture below to view all of the photos!

Happy 7th Birthday Parker!

Happy Birthday Parker man!!! We love you SO much! You have brought so much joy to our lives. We can't imagine life without you. It's hard to believe you are growing up so fast and are getting to be so tall. You'll soon pass Mommy up! :( You are a very sweet little boy and a great big brother to your "twins!" We're glad you had a fun party today with your friends. Mommy will have to try to post some pictures on here of your party. We love you very, very much!
Love,

Daddy, Mommy, Peyton & Paige

Please pray for our friend Todd Myers...

Many of you have heard about Todd Myers recent diagnosis of Lymphoma. There is a "praying for Todd Myers" page set up on Facebook where you can get frequent updates about his progress. Todd starts his Chemo treatments today and it is going to be an eight hour treatment this first time. I wanted to post this on here for those of you who might be reading this, but aren't members of Facebook. Please remember Todd in prayer, not only today but every day. He's got a long and difficult road ahead of him, and he needs all the prayers and encouragement we can give him!

Jonathan and long time friend, Todd Myers

(Todd played the piano for The Singing Friends when Jonathan sang with them and currently plays the piano for Convention Quartet.)

First day of school 2009-2010

Last Friday, was Parker's first day of First Grade! Parker is going to our Christian school, Bethel Holiness Christian School, and is loving it so far! He says "school is awesome!" His favorite part is recess of course! He loves the fact that he gets to go on recess 3 times every day! He loves his teacher, Miss Willard, and is enjoying making new friends! He goes to school all day, which is a first for us this year! The twins are getting used to Parker being gone and are settling into their own routine. I'm glad he's able to attend there this year and hope he'll learn a lot. I'm also glad he's getting a Christian education!
