first clue: Central Market and legalized midwifery


we had a wonderful visit with des. she got to spend lots of time with hannah because i totally took advantage (in a good way, i hope) of her being here. we went to the pumpkin patch, and hannah really enjoyed her birthday present from nana and pop pop, pictured here.









roll in the hay, anyone? :-)



who knew a feeding trough full of corn could be so enthralling to a toddler?










david couldn't come, but he sent hannah some beautiful dorothy shoes, which she loves. patrick helped des put together hannah's wagon.





after a completely dry month, we got nearly flooded last week. when it finally cleared up, we went outside for hannah to play in the puddles.
i know this post has an uncharacteristic brevity to it, but we're really busy these days. very unexpectedly, patrick was offered a promotion. wait, that came out wrong! i'm not surprised at all that they think he's ready for a sales position. the unexpected part is the soonness of it, and the moving to dallas part. yep, we're on the move again. the office is in addison, in north dallas. i will talk more about if later, but by the first week of november, we'll be back in cowboy hats :-).
very quickly, yes, we're happy, but a little overwhelmed. we've only known for a week or so. we will be renting in dallas for a while, obviously selling our house will be a challenge. more details later.

How exciting! We'll be praying for you as you move yet again and get settled in Dallas. The pictures in the pumpkin patch are beautiful!

Wow!! Congratulations, Patrick. That's great.

I can't wait to hear more!

That rolling in the hay picture is awesome :) I love it. And also the one of Hannah in a diaper and red shoes.

I'm working from mi casa today so will give you a call later.

Love, K
