Visiting QUEEN ESTHER in Susa!!!

We took several exciting field trips with our grandparents!

We even traveled back in time to the Citadel of Susa to meet Queen Esther at Sights and Sounds!

It was SPECTACULAR!!!! 

Awaiting the show to begin...

Me and my boys!! 😍😍

So exciting!!! 

This show was truly FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS!!!!  WOW.  

Our picnic afterwards on a BEAUTIFUL fall day!!  

What a wonderful, exciting adventure!  

Three generations of McM-Robot-Dancers!!!

Pops started it...

Daddy jumped in on it...

The music got louder. The moves got funnier...

The little ones jumped in...

...and uproarious laughter ensued...

😎😆😆😆😎

Sundays and Grandparent sweetness...and an update on THAT project!!

The sweetness of home worship can be so precious at times...❤❤❤

Especially when followed by impromptu worship-dance-classes! 

Fellowship around the table and lots of jubilant music 👏👏👏

The girls LOVED it!!  (The musicians too, I suppose...😉)

And after all that fun, the grandparents arrived Sunday night!  

Steve put everyone right to work..."The tile guy is coming! The tile guy is coming!"

(Feels like the old days...😱)

The kids were much more interested in presents though...I mean, can ya blame them?!  😁

The work continued...

Prepping the floor:

Laying the radiant pipe!!  

And of course, Little Miss Muffin had Grandma busy in the kitchen with her!!  

Pumpkin Muffins!! 

Still going in there...almost ready! 

Special prayer time...

A little hair treatment time...

PBJ time...

Tile man came and left, Day 1 down!!!  

Stay tuned for more progress...

Randomness roundup of the week!

He decided to identify as a bunny today. 

What can I say?!

😂😂😂

Beautiful fall flowers from a wonderful friend!  

❤🧡💛❤🧡💛

Tea and talk time became ice cream and talk time this week...except we ended up shivering and laughing as we admired the stunning foliage!!! 

We had to get out the blanket after ice cream, LOL! 

Steve picked out my new glasses for me!  

Can't wait to get them in a couple of weeks!
