Cute Logan Story

When we picked Logan up from Sunday School we were told the cutest story and wanted to pass it on to you. If we all had faith like a child! We walked in and a male Sunday school teacher said, "You are looking for Logan, right?" I said, "Yes." He let me know that He wanted to tell us a story about Logan. A couple of weeks ago Logan fell and hurt his leg. The Sunday school teacher asked Logan if he knew who Jesus was. Logan replied, "Yes, He lives in my heart." The teacher then told Logan that he could ask Jesus and He would help his leg feel better. Logan then lifted his shirt up and looked down saying, "Jesus, my leg hurts." Logan stayed looking down for a minute then looked at the teacher and stated, "He is almost done." Logan then waited just a little longer and went to play! I wish I had been a fly on the wall to watch that one. We should remember to have faith like a child and watch the children in our lives, they can teach us a lot.

Fall Is Here!

It is fall time and it shows here in Colorado. I love watching the leaves change (sorry to those of you in Tucson, cactus does not change color it only dies)! It reminds me of how God can change us when we are open to listening to Him and obeying Him. God has changed our family in so many ways through our venture in His ministry. He has brought us closer together as we left our home and comfort zone. God has also taught us and continues to teach us how to trust in Him in everything. I would say that our finances have been the hardest lesson to learn. When you are not sure if you can pay for everything you need, He surprizes you and gives you gifts that you never expect. God has sent us many people who have blessed us. When we come to a point where we think we can't pay for something such as tires for our car God blesses us through His people! Thank you for letting God bless us through you. Sometimes He blesses in big worldly ways and sometimes not as big, but still a great blessing. A great example is just the other day we walked up to Baskin Robbins for dollar scoop Tuesday. A great deal. We brought our five dollars and went to the counter, then from behind a young lady approached us and told us that she was from Fellowship Church and that she wanted to pay for our ice cream. What a blessing from someone we didn't even know. God is always blessing us, we just have to remember to look for His blessings. In this crazy economy I challenge you to look for God's blessings in your life and share them with others. Even though God changes us, He is never changing and always there!!!! What a great God we serve!

Flight Home

I know many of you have been waiting and here it is!!!! The return home. Now I don't want to dissappoint any of you, but it was not as bad as the flight to Tucson, but none the less we still had an adventure. We arrived at the Tucson airport one and a half hours early. We unloaded the car yet again, but this time I got a picture! We get a cart to go in (ridiculous that you have to pay $3.00 for 3 minutes of use) and quickly checked in. We then headed for the one terminal (GO TUCSON) and went through secruity. Being a smaller airport it was fairly easy. We then had a little over an hour until our flight left so we got some breakfast and let the kids walk around or if you are Landon spin around. As we were waiting I noticed that two people got on the plane before pre-boarding. Interesting I thought! They then called pre-boarding and we headed to get on the plane. As we found our seat I noticed the two men that boarded before us and noticed that the shirt of one said security transportation and the other had a jacket placed perfectly over his hands. Yes, you thought it, we had a fugitive on the plane. That was a first for me. Well luckily the plane was not a full and Bryan and I could sit across from each other and help out with the kids. The flight was pretty uneventful except for the older lady who was mentally challenge who kept changing seats throughout the flight. As we began to start the landing everyone buckled up (except one) including the flight attendents. Landon at this point had enough of the plane and threw his binki across the isle. Classic Landon! Luckily it did not hit anyone. Here is the fun part which I had never experienced. As we were starting to land the mentally challenged woman (who did not buckle up) decided to keep changing seats. She got up and the flight attendents started to yell sit down and she did, but then she did it again. They once again yelled to sit and she did just in time to land. As soon as the wheels hit she was up again and heading for the door. At least it kept the attention off of our children :) We landed and made it safely home and headed for our ride (thanks sister)! Well let's just say there is never a boring moment in the Thigpen world!

Tucson/Mexico

The last couple of weeks we were able to go to Tucson to visit many of our wonderful supporters. It was such a blessing to be able to see them and catch up. We so appreciate everyone who supports us. While in Tucson we were able to go to Mexico thanks to Papa and Gigi Thigpen who allowed us to use their condo. It was a great break and time with the family. We loved walking on the beach, catching crabs, kayaking, snorkling, and swimming. While we were enjoying the nice warm pools of Mexico Logan taught himself how to swim!!!!! Yes, you read correctly. Logan learned to swim. If you have not read about his swimming journey scroll down and find out about our long swimming journey. He goes from crying during the whole swimming lesson to teaching himself. Crazy kid. Never a dull moment.

PS: STAY TURNED TO HEAR ABOUT THE RETURN FLIGHT!!!!!

Logan Starts Preschool

Logan has started preschool this year and loves it! He goes to school Tuesday - Friday from 1:00 to 4:00. He loves his teacher Miss Janis and loves that he has new friends. It is a little quiet in the house (which is the beginning of the end). Here a couple of pics of his first day! Enjoy
