Giving Thanks

I read a wonderful prayer that Dear Abbey had written before she died -
something to think about all year round:

O Heavenly Father
We thank thee for food
and remember the hungry.
We thank Thee for health
and remember the sick.
We thank Three for friends
and remember the friendless.
We thank thee for freedom
and remember the enslaved.
May these remembrances stir us to service
That Thy gifts to us may be used for others. Amen

The Meyer/Oldenburger family got up early Thanksgiving Day and Ran for the Hungry. It has become our annual family tradition. We love the idea of doing something to help those less fortunate and also doing something good for our bodies before we sit down to a day of delicious food. After the race we enjoyed a brunch and relaxed watching the parade on TV. Megan, Josh and Isabelle then left to see other family and Larry, Katie and I went to the movies and saw Enchanted. A very cute and light Disney fairytale/romance. We would recommend it for any age.

Isabelle's First Halloween

Although Isabelle didn't have a clue what was going on, her mommy had fun dressing her up for Halloween. She was the cutest little mermaid and little princess I have ever seen.




I know that Megan and Josh look forward to the day they can take her trick or treating so they can get the candy!

Isabelle's First Halloween

Although Isabelle had no clue what was going on her mommy had fun dressing her up in costumes and of course she looked adorable as a little mermaid and a little princess. I think megan and josh look forward to the day they can take her trick or treating so they can get the candy!

Larry Turns 60

Another milestone is turned. Larry turned 60 on October 12th. He decided to downplay his birthday this year and let his family throw him a little asian mystery night with a murder mystery game called "Who Hung Woo" Each of us came dressed as a character with names like Hao Dee Doo, Ding a Ling, Pen Ta-gon, WooPi, Wee Ping etc, We played out the mystery and ate chinese food that night. With a new granddaughter in the picture all things do revolve around Isabelle. When she got tired we all decided to focus our attention on cake, presents and just enjoying each others company. As you can see by the pictures there is an undiscovered side to larry. We never did figure out who Hung Woo that evening. to be continued.....

Changing Seasons

The leaves are turning color, our little Isabelle is growing each day and now actaully smiles and coos! Larry and I continue to juggle work, family and social time and we praise God for the many blessings and peace he has given us these past two months. Larry had the opportunity to fly back to Illinois with his sister Donna and reunite with many family members that he had not seen in a number of years. Larry's mother Gwen, will soon turn 88 and was thrilled to have her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren surrond her with love.
