Dedication Cancellation

Pastor Rodger had unexpected surgery and will not be recovered enough to perform the dedication. When he is able to, we will reschedule it and let you know. Please pray that he recovers quickly and completely.

Well...

It's been a crazy bunch of days since I last updated the blog. Ria is sick and in the hospital and we're hoping she gets better soon. Please keep her in your prayers.

The girls had their 4 month appointment and they are getting HUGE!!! Tara now weighs in at 14 lbs 1 oz and Kate is 12 lbs 4 oz. They are just doing so great. They are just such a blessing to this family. A lot of work , but a blessing.

The Dunn clan all met in Santa Clarita yesterday to celebrate my nephew's b-day. The kids had a great time at a bouncy house type place and everyone got to love on all the new babies in the clan! We got to see the in-laws new house. It's a bit tore up right now as they had a small disaster and are just getting the house put back together. It's beautiful though and we can't wait to spend some time down there in the hot tub and seeing the new puppies when they arrive. Oh, I guess I forgot to tell you but the in-laws are having Yorkie puppies! WOOHOO! Nathan just can't wait til they get here. We're expecting them around the first week of December.

The girls will be dedicated to the Lord on Sunday the 23rd of November. We're so excited to share this news with everyone. For those of you who need a little help in understanding the dedication thing..here goes:

The parent part is a dedication of the parents to raise their children according to the Biblical principles. The child dedication part is a "setting apart" of their children unto the Lord.

We welcome anyone to attend.

What's new at the Dunn House

Well, it's been busy and we have taken lots of new pictures. I have a link that will show a few of them and then I'll post a couple.

We went to Halloween at the Kelsey's house and the kids had a great time riding the hay trailer and getting lots of candy. Too much candy! The people in their neighborhood go all out and even give the kids full sized candy bars. I would prefer the smaller ones as it's easier to deal with portion control...but...Oh well.

The kids have been pretty healthy lately and things are moving right along. The house is pretty much in order and we are just waiting to get the back patio cover put on and the projects around here will come to a close. We never did get around to setting up an open house. Maybe one of these days we'll get it together enough to have everyone over to have a look see. In the meantime I'll try and take some pictures.

It's getting colder in Bakersfield and we are loving it! It's so nice to have it cool off. I get tired of the hot weather.

I will be having a minor surgery in December so I will have about a weeks recovery during Christmas break. We may not be able to do much in the way of traveling this holiday. We'll just have to see how things pan out. If you just can't stand not knowing what is going on, you can call me and I'll fill you in on all the details. Just not a good public thing ya know?

The Dunn Clan is heading for Sea World at the end of November. WOOHOO! It's our annual vacation and Nathan got to pick the place. He's so excited about getting to dine with Santa and Shamu, train dolphins, get up close and personal with some penguins, and have a picnic during the Shamu Show. We're really looking forward to our first family vacation with our newly completed family! The girls won't remember this but we'll have pictures to show them when they get older.

Don't be surprised if Christmas this year is a little slim. We have a lot more responsibilities this year and with the new house, money is pretty tight. What if we just bought for the kids this year? Let us know via e-mail what you think of the idea. I was thinking just Christmas cards for the adults and a $5 gift card. Quick, cute and fun.

That's it for now. I'll try and check in again soon! Love to all.
