We went to the ENT Monday with Kinley and found out that she does have yet another ear infection (I think that is number 11) and that we are definately going to do the tube surgery. We are waiting until January because of insurance issues. Please pray with us that her eardrums will not rupture and that she would not have to have another antibiotic between now and then. They found that she does have minor hearing loss and they think it will be repaired with the surgery. She has started talking more - she says whoa, baby, Jada, bubba, uh oh. I think I put this last time but she is also signing milk, more, eat and please.

These are the girls on Halloween night. They really liked this little girly couch.

Silly picture of Kinley at the Butters' dressing up in Super Why stuff. You can keep praying for me parenting these crazy kids. I have been having a hard time not being overwhelmed all the time and overcoming my feelings about Jada. I have got some major sin to overcome and it feels like God isn't doing anything to help me except opening my eyes to more and more ways I sin. Josh could also use some prayer for work and discipline to keep doing what he knows is his part and trusting God for the rest.

James and I made a volcano in the sand box - it was really fun to work together on but we made the sand smell really bad and it was over really fast. James has decided that he is really into Star Wars even though he knows nothing about it. He is scouring toy magazines for pictures of Star Wars toys and making up songs about Jedi's. We decided to watch episode 4 (the first one made) with him. He was in boy warrior heaven. He asked 1o million questions. I think he needs a light saber for christmas now.

Needless to say he has been very into fighting, war, weapons, evil, etc. Josh and I decided to educate him on spiritual warfare! It has been very interesting and beneficial. We told him there is a war going on between God and Satan for peoples hearts and that in the end of the world God will win and that people who aren't on God's team and don't believe in Jesus as their savior will go to live in hell with Satan and people who do accept Jesus and hopefully choose to fight for Him will live in heaven with God forever. We also explained that fighting for God does not involve weapons like swords and guns but things like faith and scripture. We told him that real (toy) weapons are to remind us to use our spiritual weapons. Like when he wants something Jada has, satan would want him to scream yell hit and take the toy but God would want him to be patient and selfless so when he feels the urge to be mean he would say 1 Cor 13 love is patient, kind, and gentle and that is like shooting a bullet at satan and giving God's team a victory. He has been really into it and it seems to be helping us get some motivation for him to do right. I am just worried about him telling some kid at school that he is on satan's team or running around church shooting satan and his demons.
