Boston College vs. Penn State

This is my first time writing a "little ditty" on THE BLOG. On Saturday, Sept. 11, Josh and I went with Uncle Dave to a Boston College/Penn State game. It was sooo much fun! The game started at 8pm b/c it was scheduled to be on T.V.-ABC I think. I had a couple of "mis-spokes" (is that a word?) during the game that both Uncle Dave and Josh had a pretty good laugh at my lack of football sense. The first time was about 5 min. to game time and I asked, "Oh! Has the game started?" And the reply was..."Um....no, Heather, they're scrimmaging amongst themselves." Hmmm.......Another time was with 9min. and 22 sec. left on the clock in the second quarter. I couldn't figure out why their clock said 9:22pm, and my watch said 8:58pm. Needless to say, that brought forth more laughter (more from Josh...Uncle Dave was a bit more gracious). The game went great....it was a little chilly....but very fun!!

We had a great time, of course we had to check out the food. =-)

They have artificial turf. You can probably tell by looking in the picture, if you look closely.

Apple Pickin' in New England

Apparently this is a tradition that everyone does up here in New England. I have heard Heather talk about going to pick apples in the fall all the time, but this was our first time to experience it together as a family. Josiah loved it, and the weather was perfect, around 65 degrees and absolutely no humidity. Of course, I haven't felt humidity since I left Louisiana. Although they sure think they have it up here, it's pretty comical to hear what they think a humid day is.

I am really excited about fall. Can you believe that the leaves are already changing up here. It is crazy to think about. Heather and I are going with her Uncle Dave to the Boston College vs. Penn State football game tonight. I am very excited about that. They say he has really good seats. I will put some pictures up after tonight so ya'll can see. Well, there are some more pictures of us picking apples, enjoy.

Nashua Church

Last time I wrote, I told ya'll we were looking for a church home. Well, we have found a great church home at the Nashua church of Christ. They are a great family of believers that have surrounded us and really tried to make us feel welcome ever since we have been there. They have a Tuesday night care group (house church) that we go to, which is a lot of fun. Paul Clark is the minister there and he is real down to earth and fun. He was out of town this Sunday and asked me to preach, which I was excited about. The sermon went well and everyone seemed to enjoy it. I hope I will be able to continue to fill in every now and then. They also have several kids that are around Josiah's age, and he also enjoys the children's worship service that they have for the kids. The whole church really has deep conviction of doing what's right and striving to help each other along the way. Please continue to pray for us, and I now ask that you will also pray for this church as well, so that we may continue to grow up here.

Our Visit to the Train Station

One Saturday we decided to go to Bellmont Falls, Vermont, which is only about an hour away, and go ride on a scenic passenger train that they have there. Josiah was very excited as you could guess. Inside the train station they had "Thomas the Train" everything. They had several train tables with tracks and trains to play with, and all the kids were hovered around them. Of course, Josiah was able to work his way in there to play with the trains on the table. He had a blast! We are definitely going to have to do it again one day. In November, we are hoping that Amanda, Jason, Nolan and Emma will be able to come up because there is an actual "Thomas the train" engine visiting a train station in Connecticut. So we are definitely going to do that, and it would be great to see Josiah and Nolan experience that together. Here are some pictures of our trip. Josiah said that "salty" was the name of the train that we rode.

GO RED SOX!!!!

We had a great time at the Red Sox game. The Red Sox won, and we ate...and ate...and ate. I thought for sure we were going to eat them out of hot dogs. We had a great time though. We were able to spend some time with Pete and Summer before they went back to Pennsylvania and also with Taylor and Dan before they went back to college in Wheaton. Here are some pictures of Fenway.
