Upcoming events, and family news...

Family news...

Well, there isn't a whole lot to report on this front. Besides skirts that are getting to tight and shirts that are getting stretched out a little. Baby Creath is growing and doing well. The last midwife appointment went very well, and so far everything has been going great. We are currently 23 weeks along. Just a little over halfway. Already I am trying to figure out where time has gone, before we know it little John or Charlotte will be here making the pressence of the newest Creath well known. Not that he or she hasn't been already. I usually feel the baby moving the most around 10:00 or 11:00 PM. I also sometimes feel it in the morning as I am waking up. I think right now that is one of my favorite times of the day. Cuddling with my husband and feeling this new little life inside of me growing and moving. John's work is going well. In fact I am sitting right next to him as I type this. Our internet has been kinda on and off of late so I am using the laptop at SMI.

We are trying to get ready for winter, the weather up here is just cool enough to let us know that winter is coming, but warm enough that it makes one want to be outside as much as possible. I have missed this time, the definite change of seasons. Leaves that turn an amazing varity of color, and the breeze. It one of those things that you only understand if you have spent time living elsewhere, before living in Georgia.

Upcoming Events

The next big event that the Creath family is looking forward to is the Reformation Day Faire. Don't worry we will post pictures after the event. The Faire is October 27th. A little under two weeks away. I have been busily sewing costumes and helping those from the church that are planning the event. It is basically a time to learn more about the reformation, to fellowship, and to get to dress up. We will be having a Towne Market, a tournament, and a authentic German feast. We may even get to meet Martin Luther. ;) Well, I think that pretty much updates you all on the life of the Creath family now.

Many Blessings, and may Gods' peace be given to you.

The Nina, Tower, and playground.

The following pictures are from the weekend of October 6-7. Some friends from Georgia came up to visit, on Saturday we went down to the riverfront and went aboard the Nina (a replica of the smallest ship in Christopher Columbus's sailing fleet, also his favorite of all the ships.) After which we went to what we call the tower. An old water tower that has several levels on the top from which you can look out over the Illinois river and the surrounding area. At the bottom of the tower they have a playground, and they also have benches so we played, and rested while chatting.

Our Pastor's wife has been working on this book for a few years, and has just sent in the final copy. Yahoo! We have all been praying for her and her family as they have been having to add this book in to an already busy schedule. Take a look hope you enjoy it.

The Creath Family on Saturday Night

So you may be thinking, "What does the Creath family do on the weekend to keep from becoming sticks in the mudd?"

This picture might give you a small idea. :) While John was being creative I sat in the recliner drinking a cup of tea.

Visit home...

We are home (GA). The first visit since we were married.

John and I have been enjoying our time with family, and very close friends. Staying up way to late, and filling every moment that we have here with great joy, and blessing.

We arrived Thursday, Friday we went swimming with our brothers, and sisters, I officially recieved my first sunburn of the year. Really sad for a Georgia girl that used to swim all the time. Today (Saturday Sept 1st) we are celebrating John's birthday. Started the morning with chocolate chip pancakes, bacon, eggs, and orange juice. Now we are all just kinda of doing our own thing for a while. I am unsure how we will fill the rest of the morning and afternoon, I do know that ice cream cake, and presents will fill the evening.

Happy birthday John.
