Much to be Thankful For

What I am thankful for:

Sweet Elizabeth and her excitement about preschool!

Owen and what a hard working student he is becoming.

A loving and hard working husband and daddy!

Precious siblings and our newest addition.

First Cereal Feedings! Love the excitement of a 5 month old.


Marshall School's Super Student of the Month: Owen Heath - Way to go sweetness!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our family and friends. May we be reminded of the richness of life the Lord, our Father has given us. Enjoy this time with one another.

A Tank Engine, A Princess and a Little Monkey

There is obviously no family theme to our costumes this year but all 3 kiddos were still pretty cute.:) We hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween! The older our kids get the more exciting holidays become, especially ones that have anything to do with candy! A few other pictures highlight a birthday celebration for mommy/double-date night with dear friends Jessica and Mike Fransz, The amazing Shermans babysitting for us that night, pumpkin carving and our pumpkin patch adventures. Fall is our favorite! Happy First Halloween to our little Adam!

To The Beach...

During Owen's 2 week Fall break, the Heath's family friend, Mr. Ray gave us the opportunity to enjoy his beach house on the boardwalk at Mission Beach! What an amazing gift. Here are just a few highlights of our refreshing break from routine:
1. Family Game Nights
2. Major highlight for Jeremiah: Four San Diego Padre pitchers and one outfielder staying at the house next door. Ray and his neighbor share a beachfront patio, which meant Jeremiah could chat with the Padres whenever we were all relaxing on the patio. (In the picture below are the four Padre Pitchers - left to right - Luke Gregerson, Joe Thatcher, Adam Leftwich and Brian Webb - Chris Denorfia was the outfielder and is not pictured). All five guys were very nice to our whole family.
3. Beautiful views and sunsets EVERYDAY! Mommy and Daddy felt like they were having a date night every night of the week just listening to the ocean.
4. Free Shells: Collected and given away by Owen and Elizabeth on our patio.
5. Fun times on the beach!
6. Dear friends stopping by for an overnight visit. Good times had by all.
Thank you Mr. Ray for opening your place to our family! It will always be a very memorable vacation!:)

Fun Family Pictures

Our little family had some photos taken by an amazing photographer and friend from church. If you want to see more of her work check out her website: www.jennibarrphotography.com She captured some precious family moments. Bringing sweet Adam into our family has been such an incredible gift from God. His babyhood is already flying by so fast! We can't believe he'll be 4 months old in October!

Elizabeth's Injury

Elizabeth had her first visit to the urgent care on Saturday. No broken bones, Praise the Lord. Elizabeth, Daddy, and Owen were playing around on the living floor and both kiddos were on Daddy's back. They fell on top of each other and Bug's arm was hurt from the event. Poor girl! Daddy, Dave and Parker Kitzman took her to the doctor for an X-Ray. We found out it was just a sprain, so she was required to wear a splint for a couple days. As you can see from the picture, she is recovering quickly!

A Visit From the Kitzman Family

Our dear friends, the Kitzmans are heading down to Peru once again to share God's love with people through a mission organization called SIM: Serving In Mission. They have been living in the states the last two years to raise support and have almost reached their goal. They still are in need of financial support and prayer. If you're interested in learning more about them and their ministry check out their blog: wwww.kitzfam4peru.blogspot.com

Happy Labor Day!

Our Labor Day weekend was very fun and relaxing. We spent time with friends as well as chilled as a family. Friday night we went to the zoo to hang out with church friends and to get to know a missionary family that our church family supports. Saturday we had the opportunity to spend time with old friends. Welcome Back to CA Fransz Family! Monday, we spent the whole day relaxing as a family. We hope everyone had a super 3-day weekend. Thank you Lord for weekends where we can be refreshed and renewed to take on another busy week.:)
