The Turner's Thoughts: Adalyn - 6 months, some snow, and much more

Wow, where has the time gone? I'm pretty sure I say that every month. I've done a bad job of keeping up with this blog and really my goal was to only blog at least once a month...that's 12x a year...not that difficult, Amanda. The issue is, so many other things just tend to take priority over blogging these days. But I haven't given up completely. Maybe in the dead of winter I'll be more focused on blogging, but for now my free time is spent outside when the weather is nice, like it was today. Mid 60s in mid-November. Can't complain about that. Speaking of weather...before we talk about Miss Adalyn's 6 month birthday, I must show you a picture or two from the last weekend of October. Check these out.

What?!?! Snow in October? I have to admit...I didn't think the weather forecast was correct and I didn't believe it until I saw it on Saturday. So I didn't prepare (notice all of the leaves on the ground that I chose to neglect and not rake on Friday!). And I know you are all dying to see a picture of sweet Adalyn all bundled up...

Our little bundle of joy

It seems like some crazy weather event always happens on or around Adalyn's monthly birthday. The day she was born there were tornado warnings, throughout the summer it was either a hurricane, a flood, or an earthquake AND now snow. I really need to write these things down in her baby book so we don't forget! Check out the 6 month pictures.

Isn't she just a doll? She was a champ this weekend -- Greg and I have been planning for over a month now to go to PSU with my siblings. When we planned it, we never would have guessed that JoePa wouldn't be coaching. What a week and what a tragedy. Rather than talking about it too much, I've just been trying to pray instead, but I have to admit, it's hard not to get sucked into the news, facebook posts, blogs, etc... My heart goes out to all the victims and their families, not just at Penn State but all across the world, as such sin is everywhere. This is again a reminder that we all need Jesus. Greg and I have such great memories of our years at Penn State and this somehow seemed to taint them, but our weekend at Penn State was great and it was a good reminder that God is in control. Adalyn and I didn't go to the game, but Greg said that he just felt God moving through the stadium. How awesome was the prayer in the beginning of the game? I pray that many come to know the Lord through this horrific situation. On a lighter note, here are a few pictures from the weekend.
