Leaf Piles!




What good is the Fall without a big leaf pile to jump in! For the last few weeks, the number one question at Granny's House has been "Can I have a rake and make a leaf pile?!" Whether it's burying each other in a pile of leaves, or running around with a pile to throw in the air, I'm sure the kids will enjoy playing in our front yard until the last leaf falls!

MU Basketball Game



Thank you to Cleeks Rent to Own who provided Granny's House with basketball tickets to last weeks game against Lincoln. The kids had a great time! Many of them had never been to the new Mizzou Arena, so it as an exciting experience!

If I Had A Million Dollars

Just seven minutes. That's all the time it takes to watch "IF I HAD A MILLION DOLLAR$" featuring the children of Granny's House. And that's all the time it will take for you to fall in love with the precious children who appear in our little movie.

As you watch, you'll howl with laughter, you'll cry, and sometimes find yourself awestruck as you listen to the depth of love and appreciation they have for all the goodness God pours into their lives. Sometimes their profound responses to our questions belie the fact that they're only children.

At Granny's House, it seems that every season, not just the holidays, is filled with joy and we are thrilled to be able to share a little bit of that joy with you via our latest DVD project. This is just a sample, just a little bit of what we get to experience every single weekday afternoon on Trinity Place. Enjoy!!

Halloween!






Thank you to the Christian Medical and Dental Association (CMDA) of Mizzou who helped provide Halloween costumes to Granny’s House kids this year! What a fun time it was seeing everyone dressed up as pirates, princesses and action heros! Several of our younger children went to the Christian Fellowship “Fall Festival” to show off their outfits as well as play games and bounce the night away in the many bounce houses at the event! Thank you again to everyone who helped make the night so special!

CALEB-Cow Eye Dissection





Members of Caleb the Science Club dissected cow eyes during Saturday’s meeting, as they participated in a telemedicine link with St. Louis University. After learning about the parts and functions of the eye, the students examined each section of the cow eye, as doctors and medical students walked them through the dissection process. I think we might have a few surgeons in the group!
