Happy Halloween!!!

Faith went trick or treating and the Nursing Home and saw PAPA! I think PaPa was enjoying the candy more then Faith.

Yummy Halloween cookie.

Hope you all had a wonderful Halloween. Love from the Cains:-}

Fall Fun Day

My Pumpkin all carved up. It was the thickest pumpkin I have ever carved - almost 3 inches to the hollow portion! Can you tell that it is a fish? A zebra fish?

Some of the pumpkins that were carved throughout the night. Carrie carved the third one in from the left. It was three dimensional with a tongue that was stuck out and cute little arms. It reminded me of the costumes in the musical "Cats"

I am "outstanding in my field"!

Tim is one of the first guys to find all of the markers out in the corn maze.

Beautiful Pumpkins!

Friends Sarah, Alli, Carrie, and brother Tim! We had a lot of fun!

Drumstick Dash

This year our family is going to Indianapolis for Thanksgiving. We will be joining the Donnelsons for a lovely time. I am going to run the Drumstick Dash which is 4.5 mile run. They run is generating proceeds to support the Wheeler Mission in its effort to feed the hungry. I am really looking forward to spending my Thanksgiving this way - thankful for my family - thankful for the ABUNDANCE that God has given me. My prayer is that I would be His vessel that overflows onto those around me.

Fabulous Mom - the Frog!

Mom - I just love this picture - You are a beautiful lady!

Polar Bear - Over There!

Wonderful Weekend

I had a wonderful weekend. Mom flew in on Saturday and Dad flew in on Sunday. It was great spending time with them. On Saturday Mom and some of my dear friends visited the zoo. We had a great time!

Biology Scavenger Hunt

One of the first assignments that I gave my Biology students this year was to find BIOLOGY all around them. They each had to come up with a creative way to display their findings - This one was one of my favorites!

Return of the Varmint

We caught our varmint friend again - an opossum in the garage. Shortly thereafter we saw the HUGE skunk that lives underneath the deck. Any advice on how to get the skunk to move out would be welcomed.

Run Wild For the Zoo

On July 7th I ran my second race at the Detroit Zoo. I improved my time by 9 minutes! Yahoo! It poured rain almost the entire run. My friend Dave ran with me again - I was so thankful to have him there to keep me going!

Pretty in Pink

Farmer's Market

These are some of my favorites at the Farmer's Market. First and foremost - Otto's Chicken. They come once a month and sell organic - grain fed - no preservatives - nor hormone chicken. I always get the chicken thighs - they are so tasty.


The Oatmeal stand. It's a bit on the pricey side but this Oatmeal keeps me full until lunch - it's chock full of dried apples, plums (aka prunes), raisins, and nuts. I cook it in the morning while I am getting ready for school - it's piping hot and delicious.


Green Peppers for Piggy - SHE LOVES 'EM!




MMMmmm - Berries

Tim the Director

Tim has put together a really great show this year.
Here he is getting the band to play a little louder.


A few new formations

How cool - do you see how they are shaped into a canon? The tuba section comes shooting out of it!
