October Fun!

Well, its next to the last day of October and time to update all of our fans around the world of the latest happenings at the Shad Point Scott's!

Life is crazier than ever. With two kids age 2 and under, there's not much time for anything that's not centered around them. And Guka and I are loving every minute!

I must admit this is the longest I've ever celebrated Halloween in my life. It all started on the 10th of October, when Luke went to the "Living Zoo" here in Salisbury. Then last Saturday night he and Will dressed up and went to "Trick or Treat Street. Tonight we had a pumpkin carving party with Luke before he went to bed and tomorrow night we are going to "Trunk or Treat" at our church. Luke has been dressed as a pirate and we think Will is a dinosaur. We certainly have gotten our money's worth out of these costumes!

Last week I(Judy) went to a week of training in Baltimore. I had a 3 night stay in a suite all by myself and caught up on my "quiet time." I couldn't wait to get home to my little munchkins. I missed them terribly.

Randy and Jamie have been able to spend quite a bit of time with us each weekend and we enjoy getting together every Sunday for dinner and then our small group. I love being with my family and cherish every moment.

Two weeks ago, Jamie, Mindy and I went for a "maternity shopping trip" for Jamie. It was such fun to watch her model her clothes and see her start "showing." I never got to be with Mindy when she was at this stage in her pregnancy. Randy and Jamie are due in March and will be having a sonogram next week but they have decided they don't want to find out what they are having until the baby is born. Jamie seems to be doing great but definitely feeling the effects of this little one taking over her body!

Well, here's a picture version of what this month has been like:

Just so you all know that sometimes "Its still all about ME!

This is the suit I've not been able to get into for the last 2 years!

Fall is Here!

Well, the Scotts are not as faithful to their blogging these days. We are enjoying the beautiful Fall weather at Shad Point. Today is Saturday and while Mindy went to a women's "Apples of Gold" mentoring group with Jamie, Guka and Meme were in charge of the grandchildren. The boys were very good and we enjoyed our time together.

Uncle David and his grandson, Landon came to visit. Guka took Luke and Will for a wagon ride and we went up to see the horses. Everybody had a grand time.

Tomorrow is the Centennial Celebration for the Church of the Nazarene. Our own church, Cross Pointe Church of the Nazarene will be celebrating 70 years. I have actually been a member for over 40 years and many at church have been busy getting ready for tomorrow's special events. Mindy has been working diligently on a video presentation. She's doing a great job and we are so proud of her. Maybe we can even post one soon. I'll have to get her permission, of course.

We talked with Chris the other night. We are really missing him and it hurts me that he is missing this time with his boys and Mindy. These are days you can't replace. It's very upsetting when I think of what a difficult road this is for our soldiers and their families.We're just happy that Min and the boys are here and we can help but I think it just makes Chris more homesick. We just pray this time will go by swiftly and he'll be home soon.

Randy and Jamie are doing great! I think they are getting more used to the fact that they will be parents in a few months. We are so looking forward to the arrival of a new grandchild. Things are really going to be buzzing around here for the next year!

Here's some pictures for your enjoyment:
