Eye Shadow?

This morning around 6:00 I, (Jenn) was helping Emma and she looked at me and had a weird look on her face and then said, " Mom, why are you wearing purple eye shadow below your eyes?" I laughed and she could not understand why so I explained that it was not eye shadow! I have been working late every night and during the day most days and then we also have a sick baby at our house so need I say more?

Jofuss's feet unveiled!

For those of you who are avid Crandall fans/stalkers/followers/etc., we have the pictures of Joseph's NEW, IMPROVED feet!!!

BEFORE:

AFTER:

TA-DA!!!!!! He's such a good little boy!!! I love that little brudder!!! (--Erika)

GREAT NEWS!!!!!
Joseph graduated today! He can now be brace-free all day (except for nap and night time)!!! His feet are looking great and hopefully he will be walking soon. He is a very patient baby and has been so good at wearing all of the casts and braces. I will post pictures of his cute little feet soon so all of you can see the miracle that has happened over the last 11 months. I am so grateful for modern technology and for doctors that know what they are doing and care about their patients! I am also thankful for a loving Heavenly Father who watched over this whole process and helped those little feet turn. We are so blessed!

"This Should Keep Us All Thinking"--Very Cool.

Halloween!

Keep in mind: Erika is #1, Emma is #2, Anna is #3, Mandy is #4, and Jakey is #5.

Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate,

The first one said,

"Oh my, it's getting late."

The second one said,

"But we don't care."

The third one said,

"I see witches in the air."

The fourth one said,

"Let's run, and run, and run."

The fifth one said,

"Get ready for some fun."

Then whoosh went the wind,

and out went the lights,

And five little pumpkins rolled out of sight!

Here are some pictures from our Halloween!

Group photo! ^_^

Anna was Dorothy! (Very last minute due to costume malfunctions...Good thing Erika is a pack-rat and kept her costume from almost 9 years ago! Hehe...)

Jofuss was a handsome biker-dude, but he fell asleep just before we left to go T-O-T so he stayed home...

To infinity and beyond! Jakey was BUZZ!

Getting ready to FLY! (or fall...with style. :P)

October [not-so] Break!

For those of you who like to rest during October break, know: we don't believe in it at our house. It's against our religion :P We've been as busy as bees around here, running like wild chickens without heads. Whoo hoo!
