Fall Photos
Click on 'Fall Photos' to see the pictures.
Pictures from this years CornMaize visit. Came back to the house with Mom and Dad over. Had Chili, cider and donuts and s'mores on the bon fire. Jess carved pumpkins for Lilly and Isaiah.
Ross and Amanda came down Sunday and Kayla showed off her walking skills. When you look at the photos, you need to check Kayla trying to get on the scooter. She was standing on the left side and we were continuing to lift her right leg to get on the bike. When she went back to it she was on the right side of the bike and continued to lift her right leg to get on. We cracked up at her.
Lilly is going to be Princess Jasmine for Trick or Treat. Isaiah wants to be the same dog he was last year. It is Tuesday the 31st. Should be fun.

John is ready to go
It's hard to wait the final hours. We will take him to the recruiters office at 6:00 tonight. They take him to Harrisburg and he stays the night in a very nice hotel and has a very nice meal at the hotel. The next morning, we will be able to go for a swearing in at 9:00. Then, he's off. He will fly south. I'm not sure what the afternoon holds, but late at night the new recruits board a bus and are taken to Parris Island. They are ordered off the bus in hurried fashion by the drill sargaent and the adventure begins. The only thing he takes are the clothes on his back, his New Testament and his driver license. Not hard to get him ready! He cleaned his room and stripped it down. Now the room war begins as several of the children want to claim it.
Stan was on vacation this past week and he spent time at our adopted lean to. He built a new fireplace for it. The lining is brick and the outside is stone. It took him hours to look for just the right stones. He is pleased with how it turned out. He enjoyed the stone work so much, I can see that as a new hobby for him.
Sarah is getting a lot of driving experience in and she also started working at Cherry Hill. A store that is surrounded by apple orchards and sells the produce and many other things. She enjoyed the day which was mainly spent bagging peoples purchases.
Keep John in your prayers. When I get an address I will pass it on.
Love, Jeanne

It has been....
beautiful fall weather here for the last few days. Rain coming back Wednesday or Thursday.
We all went out for breakfast Sunday after church for Mom's birthday. They then went to Anderson's and bought some new jeans for her and then supper at Shucker's. So they had a good day.
Reminder that John is leaving soon for boot camp. October 16. Good Luck to him. And Jeanne maybe give us updates on him.
Kathy Bodenbender is in hospice in Perrysburg. She has had brain cancer about a year now. Is also in her stomach. Had been quite bad for a couple of weeks, but has had an upswing this past week. She is talking and eating shrimp and milkshakes.
Later,,,

Hi There !!
It's Thursday evening and just waiting for Survivor to come on.
I have had pics to share, but I had too many for the free account and had to delete and move around and I just did that, so here are some from the fair and Kayla's birthday party.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/cashadday/ I see Jeanne accepted my invitation on Flickr but to be honest I have no idea what she was invited to do !!!
And Jeanne, I can't imagine what life is like there right now. If all of you don't know, the Amish school shooting was about 20 minutes from Jeanne's family. When Rick and I were there, I remember seeing some of the towns they are talking about when we were sightseeing. It has been a sad week in this country with all the shootings.
Reminder that Mom's birthday is Sunday. I don't know what we are doing yet.
More later,

Fall happenings
Hi all,
We had a good summer vacation. Now fall is here and we are in the swing of routine. The school year has started out well. Sarah-junior, David-sophomore, Nathan- 7th, Benjamin-5th and Rachael-3rd. As a junior, Sarah can take one free class a semester at Lancaster Bible College and earn college credit and high school credit. This semester she's taking Intro to Literature. She has a great professor and does not feel overwhelmed. This class will count a year of high school English. Sarah and David are also taking an American history class at a co-op for homeschoolers and some other interesting classes for fun like Criminal Science and The Art of Conversation. Nathan is not doing anything special right now. He still specializes in fixing anything that is broken around tthe house. He comes in very handy. Benjamin is interested in Mime (drama) and takes a class for this once a week. Rachael is playing soccer. She is quite good. She looks to be the smallest on her team, but she's all spirit.
Last weekend I attended a conference with 1000 other people which was called Thousands not Billions. The scientists from Institute for Creation Research presented some of their research from the past eight years looking at a number of projects they were doing. It was quite interesting hearing first hand from these scientists. The findings on helium diffusion rates from zircon crystals which should not have any helium at all, and the finding of c14 in coal c14 in diamonds is major. Coal is typically dated at millions of years and diamonds many millions even billions. c14 as you may know has a half life of 5,730 years. With the sophisticated measuring techniques of today even minute amounts of carbon can be detected. The scientists sent all these samples to the best known labs that believe in the old age of the earth. All samples had measurable c14 . There shouldn't have been any.
Anyway, I could say so much more but I will spare you the complicated explanations. Science is the Bibles friend, not foe. This topic has always interested our family, because Stan was an atheist for many years and believed wholeheartedly in the old age of the earth, (evolution)
Other news for us is John's departure for the Marines is now October 16. He can't wait.
Because of his delay, the temperatures will be milder in the south. I'm glad for that. His graduation from boot camp will be in January. I will get a firm date. If you can come please do!!
Also, I will be going to Ohio this weekend for my class reunion. 30 years.
What's everyone else up to?
Love, Jeanne
