Our 100 year old house is getting a little facelift. We are moving the existing kitchen into another room and tearing down a wall to make it more open, and redoing the original hardwoods. Kevin and our friends here in RI have been working so hard at making this happen, we have a contractor doing the major work. We move in now not until Jan. sometime.

"The Valley of Vision"
This book was introduced to me while at our church in D.C. It really has aided me in my prayer life. It's a collection of Puritan prayers and devotions. Here is one of the prayers:

Crockpot Buffalo Chicken Lasagna Recipe
This might sound weird, but it was really good. It has a kick to it of course with buffalo sauce and actually Kevin thought it would be better with a little less buffalo sauce. Click here to see the recipe. You might like this blog too, it's all crockpot recipes.

Waterfire
Providence does this cool thing called Waterfire. The river runs through the middle of the city and certain months of the year baskets in the water are lit down the river. It really is a neat thing to go to, music is always playing, gondolas are floating down the river, chandeliers are outside (yes, outside so pretty!) it's like you're in Italy or Europe, and all together it's such a neat atmosphere. Here are a few pics of it.

Our Apple Picking Trip
So here goes me trying to do a blog. Our first adventure to tell about is apple picking. Silas and I went the other day. The day was gorgeous and the trees were too. Everyone has been telling us the falls in New England are awesome, and so far we haven't been disappointed. It was so cute watching Silas play with the apples and the pumpkins we found. He even stood on his own for a second, but I don't think he realized what he was doing. It won't be long until he's walking. He's actually really fast crawling, I mean if you turn your head and he'll be gone in a second. Anyway, we ate a lot of apples along the way and Silas found a basket to play in too. Here are some of the pictures we took, hopefully I can get the other ones.
