In November we have gone on hikes, practiced for performances, written music, taken tests, given tests, and started a new ward.
L is doing a spelling bee for school so we've been having family spelling bees to help him practice.
Thanksgiving was fun. We had a lot of good food but not too much.
We took this lettuce picture for M so she wouldn't miss us while she is traveling with friends.
G is visiting and we've been able to get a lot of important medical appointments taken care of while he is here. The 3 peas are enjoying having him around and playing video games with him.
L and B love to read. We love it when they want to stay up all night reading and don't remember to eat.
We have a lot of instruments and sometimes the kids want to try something new. lP and B were fighting over the clarinet and then lP said "Don't we have 2?" Why, yes. We do.
This was our hike on Saturday when we took lP to a birthday party out of town. This is called Spring Cave. It was very cool.
We enjoyed this walk along the river. There were tons of molusks and bivalves on the shore. I think the water is low because they release the dam waters in October.
Our stake was re-organized from wards shaped like strips of bacon, to wards shaped like hash-browns. I was asked to be the primary president which has been a huge challenge. Things are starting to settle down but it is still a lot. The kids are great and the teachers are wonderful.
We're looking forward to visiting family in December and plan to go big with a trip to seaworld.
