Odd Double Feature

Saturday night Aim and I went to see Beowulf.. But low and behold it was sold out(again). So we opted for our plan C and saw the video game turned movie HITMAN- I thought it was watchable(if it was 3:30 a.m. on TBS and I couldn't find the remote) After the Hitman we planned on going to see Beowulf... But it was sold out again! So we took what was behind door #6 and went and saw ENCHANTED- We both loved it-


(I guarantee it)HITMAN 2- Straight to DVD


I honestly don't what it is, but if has talking animals... I'm a big fan

The film had a chipmunk named "PIP" that was the main character Giselle's best friend. He was too funny- We want him-

Dog-Day After-noon

After running raggid Diesel and Luigi crashed at the foot of the ottoman.

The Nativity Story

If you have not seen this movie--See it, I loved it-
It is the story of Mary and Joeseph's journey that lead them to the manger where Jesus was born.. Which is why we celebrate Christmas, Loved it- FYI- It is on HBO this Saturday night-

Turkey Day

Today Aim and I split the holiday up and hit both sides of family! We went to Huntley for my side. Huge house, the whole family(Illinois), lots of adorable kids, tons of food!
We stayed there and stuffed our faces. Then we left to go to Aim's family in Elmhurst. We got there just in time to see Aim's Grandpa "Big D" say goodbye. we chilled there talked wedding and ate dessert and then we called it a Holiday.


On the way to Huntley Aim spilled her Starbucks all over her lap. The coffee got all over legs and butt and she was forced to jump in the back seat while it was cleaned up. Since we were in bumper to bumper traffic people were staring at us.... It looked like I was Driving Miss Daisey



Cousin Jami and her husband Chris Timmons hosted Thanksgiving-

Old habits die hard for Uncle Cook and Aunt Dee Dee. They carved up the turkey like pros... They would know how havin hosted Thanksgiving since before I was a shorty-

ISELLA'S DEDICATION

Today my brother and sister-in-law are having a dedication for my niece Isella. Since we could not be there for it, we will participate via the Internet. Here is the e-mail they sent us for prayer request for Isella-Technology Buddy--

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isella to God!

Today 11/11/07 we will gather our friends and family (virtually and physically) to pray and dedicate Isella to God. Although we do this every day ( her name comes from a meaning "Consecrated to God), we wanted a time like what was typical of babies in the New Testament. Jesus was dedicated in the Temple and prayed over by Mary and Joseph and others came over and prayed over him, too. Today we will pray over Isella and ask God to work and bless her life. Everyone who comes is getting a prayer card with this on it. (Chicago Fam--We thought you could have the same info so you would feel part of the dedication, too!)

Pray for Isella :

-To know God as her Father and Jesus as Savior and that she would desire a close relationship with God early and throughout her life (Mark 10:13-16, Luke 2:52, 2 Tim 3:15).

-To develop a commitment to prayer and time in God's word. (Joshua 1:8, Daniel 6:10, Matthew 4:4, Philippians 4:6-7).

-To have godly friends and mentors in her life to help her grow in holy living (Psalm 1:1-3, Philippians 1:17, Proverbs 27:17).

-To be protected from the evil one, harmful people, & emotional, spiritual, and physical danger (Psalm 28:7-9, Psalm 41, John 17:15; 2 Thess 3:3).

-To see others as God sees them treating all with love and kindness. To have a heart for the least. (Matt 25:35-40, Romans 12:10, Philippians 2:1-5).

-To sense God's calling on her life and live in her giftedness. Pray for her to understand what it means to be fearfully and wonderfully made; for her to blossom into beautiful womanhood (Psalm 139, 78:1-8, 103:12-18, 2 Tim 1:9).

-To be kept pure and be strengthened against temptation. Pray for discernment in her choices. Pray for her to be an obedient child and live as God wants her to live (1 Kings 3:11-12, 1 Tim 1:5).

-To understand her need for forgiveness and to freely forgive others. To live like Jesus did (Ephesians 4:2, 1 John ).

-To receive provision for her and our family's needs

(Phil 4:19).

-To love God and love others. To have strong family connections.

(Matt 22: 38-39).

Pray these for yourselves, our family, and us as parents!
THANKS!! Love AJ and Wendy
