In Honor of a Great Man of God

In Loving Memory

I Sure Miss You

The Crabb Family

(Verse I)

If life could only bring again,

the days I took for granted when

To hear your voice was just a call away

Oh what I'd give for just some time,

to say the things that slipped my mind

There's so much now I'd really like to say

But I can never go back when

we did the things we did back then

I'll store those precious memories in my mind

I'll take what you've instilled in me;

I'll try to be all I can be

And walk the path that you have left behind

(Chorus)

I sure miss you;

life will never be the same with you not here

Each passing day has brought much pain

But with God's grace my strength remains

I sure miss you, but heaven's sweeter with you there

(Verse II)

The little things that seemed so small

are now gold in a memory vault

I cherish every one I have of you

Now I can see and recognize

the part you played to shape my life

I often see you in the things I do

In God's design and master plan

He saw the hurting hearts of man

As we would say goodbye to those so dear

So with our family and friends

we'll be together once again

We'll view all heaven's splendor hand in hand

Fall Colors and Our First Snow

Well we have had our first snow! It didnt last long but I dont think it is a good sign when it snows the first week of October! LOL!

I love the fall folliage in the foreground with the snow on the mountains behind.

Native Americans

This week we have been learning all about Native Americans.

Here are a few of the books we have read together.

We also learned that different tribes of Indians lived in different types of homes.

We made wigwams...

and Teepees!!
