Today was a great day for discovering the fun of fall. Grantham had his first experience with a hayride and picking pumpkins. Even though the temperature was over 80 degrees, we had a fun day with some new friends at a pumpkin patch. Grantham picked out his very first pumpkin which was so big he could barely pick it up. He also ran through a "hay" maze (something he has been wanting to do since we read the book, Go Dogs Go), and proudly climbed a huge bail of hay, then jumped off. What more could a young boy want from a day?
John and Tabitha met while studying abroad in Grantham, England at a college called Harlaxton. Two years later, they were wed in a beautiful outdoor wedding attended by friends and family from all over the world. John was an aspiring dentist, and Tabitha planned on changing the world one child at a time-teaching. Within a year John decided that he needed to change directions in his medical career and enter medical school instead of dentistry. The years that followed were full of ups and downs but ultimately we ended up completeing four years of medical school and six years of teaching in Indianapolis, IN. With God's gentle guidance, we matched for a pediatric residency in Greenville, SC. Another move and another adventure . . . we soon found out that we were pregnant with a baby boy who we chose to name Grantham after the place it all began. Recently, we became the parents of two beautiful boys (our second son is named Isaac - which means laughter).
Welcome to our family's first attempt at a web page! We are excited to have a way to display pictures and keep up with family and friends while we are in Mississippi.
