Last Sunday our family at St. Davids had a wonderful picnic. We had Sunday School at the Topeka Zoo followed by a service at the park and a potluck picnic. We have been blessed with a church that has a ton of kids the same age as ours. These are a few girls from Abby and Morgan's Sunday School class. What a group!

Mark Hood graced us with this (and a few other) picture of Parker last week. He came by to take pictures of our house to go with the listing. I know there are more pictures of Parker this time of year, but there will more of the girls soon. Nutcracker and Mother Goose are coming up. I can't even express the joy I have staying home with my little man. What an amazing season of my life. I thank God every day for the gifts he has given me in the forms of Abby, Morgan, and Parker. Nothing shows the beauty of God like the face of a child.

Well, here it is! Will and I bought this house and signed the contract today. We are moving on November 13 (anyone interested in helping?). We are so excited about a new neighborhood with a lot of young families. Here are a few more pictures of the new home of the Wise 5. Keep us in your prayers for the sale of our current house!

Parker is 3 now! He is being a pirate in this picture if you couln't tell! We have been very busy lately. Abby and Morgan received their cast lists for Nutcracker last week. Abby will be a Polichenette (a little girl who emerges from the skirt of a giant mother) and Morgan will be a Cherub (angel who acompanies Clara to her dream world). Practices are every sat. this month and go to 2 days a week in November and every day after Thanksgiving. Morgan is also involved in Mother Goose with the Kansas Symphony. They will be performing at Washburn on November 1 and at Emporia State at the end of the month. She has rehearsals for that as well. They are dancing fools this time of year. Just in case we weren't busy enough, we are listing our house for sale this week. Its just time for us to find something with a little more space. We'll keep you all updated as we go!
