October and November Highlights

October was full of great times. We were lucky to have three family visitors come stay with us. It was my brother, Tim's kiddos. They put up with us for the duration and we miss them now. Brittyn still walks around missing baby Katie. And Torbyn makes pictures for Lori almost daily. Brittyn and Josh had a "love-hate" relationship. Towards the end, more love.

November is speeding by so fast. Thanksgiving was great. We like to have fun visiting gramma and grampa and eating all sorts of yummy things. The kids especially love not being monitored, so much, with the candy intake. Always spoiled by whats hiding in gramma's ceramic ducks in the kitchen.

We are adjusting to life in Maryland! Morgyn is close enough to walk to school! Jadyn and Torbyn bus it to school! Brittyn and Mommy are home together having fun and Dad is learning the ropes with his new job. Jeff is also starting his second class towards his Masters with Gonzaga.

We had a great Christmas! Only half of our tree fit in the house. But we made it work. In the end it still filled our window and Jeff was satisfied.
Before Christmas we took a trip on the Metro to D.C. and saw our nations capital in person and of course the 76 ft tree from Montana! The kids also loved the Natural History Museum!
A couple of days before Christmas we also drove to the DC temple to enjoy the lights. Not exactly like Temple Square but it worked!
Morgyn represented our family well today with a great youth talk about service. She was very poised for her first talk in Sacrament Meeting.
