Fall turns into winter - catching up AGAIN

Just a little catching up. Here is a slideshow of some of the highlights from the last 2 months. Halloween, playing outside, Cody earned his Bear badge in cub scouts, the twins had a class play at school, Sadie shot a deer and had a recital - just to name a few of the things we have been up to.

We have enjoyed a lot of things the fall like playing football in the crisp autumn air, raking leaves and jumping into the piles, seeing the first snow fall and feeling the temperatures start to plummet. It has been crazy with school, but something that I have learned is that my family has to come first whenever that is possible. I can't miss school if the kids are sick or have a school party, but I can try to enjoy the time we have on my weekends and in the evenings.

This slide show is Thanksgiving and the day after when we went and got Christmas trees. We had a great weekend and had a lot of fun - the kids especially.

We will post our Christmas letter soon. Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and that your holidays will be filled with the love of those around you, and those like us who are far away.
