Some things I keep forgetting to mention, or maybe I have and have just forgotten…..
Alix has lost both her front teeth. She lost them about five days apart right before Halloween. She looks pretty cute and talks with such a lisp it’s hard to understand her sometimes!! People keep asking her who stole her two front teeth. It’s pretty cute.
Afton took a pretty major spill last week. She was on the front porch and took a spill off the side face first into a bed of rocks. The initial fall seemed to leave a couple of scratches, but as time went on her black eye got blacker and blacker. The poor kid looks like she has been in a fight!!
Last week on Wednesday we went to visit with our friends who used to live in the house we live in now, The Adams-Hart’s. They live on six acres and the kids were free to run. What fun they had!! They got their “hiking” gear together and set out on an “adventure”. They were gone for about 2 hours and were pretty tired and hot when they got back, but boy did they have fun! Jaime collected acorns of various sizes and she gave them all faces and glued them to a paper and made an acorn family. It was pretty cute. They went on lots of trails and went swining on a tree swing and looked for berries at “blackberry bog”. The kids were exhausted but it was good and when we finally went home, they all fell asleep, except Jaime of course!!
So far I’ve had two primary presidency meetings. They have been very productive and short, I like that. We have a long way to go and will probably meet every week for the rest of this year, but hopefully we’ll be in a routine at that point and only have to meet once a month.
Scott did another all night fishing trip. He also had a fun day at work. He’ll have to tell you all about those adventures.
Jaime has learned to play some simple primary songs on the piano and it’s been nice to have the house filled with gospel music. It’s been wonderful.
Milo is Milo and there isn’t much to report on him. The most I can say is that he is a boy and all that entails! We love him so much.
Niah celebrated her third birthday, although I’m pretty sure she just turned 5 or 6!! She is such a good girl. We took brownies to nursery on Sunday to help celebrate Niah’s birthday. That went over really well. The kids and leaders loved them. Niah seemed to have picked up something and wasn’t feeling too well on Sunday afternoon and layed around most of the day. We thought we’d give her some medicine right before bed to help her sleep better. The only thing it did was wake her up. She didn’t go to bed till 10 pm!! Monday, her birthday, she still was a little lathargic but seemed happy and ready to celebrate her birthday. Whenever we asked her what she wanted for her dinner she kept saying ‘candles and cake’. I finally convinced her we had to eat dinner first and she chose McDonalds (perhaps we should have just eaten the cake!!). The kids had a great time. We went to a playplace and they enjoyed that. We came home and did cake and presents. The kids got to bed late but it was worth it. Jaime and Alix really wanted to give Niah a present. So each girl went through her “special” things and choose out a few gifts to give. It was an awesome thing to watch. Niah getting really excited about getting the things her sisters usually have and Jaime and Alix’s joy in seeing their sister happy. It’s what family is all about.
Guess that is the news. Hope you all are well and have a great Thanksgiving. We love you all.
