November Brings Change


Well, this has been a crazy month for us. The biggest news is that I was released as Relief Society President after 2 years - which was a big relief and a sudden change. It has been interesting to go through that change - I am grateful I was able to serve, I am also sad that I will miss out on the blessings that came. Now, I need to make sure that my family is a bigger part of my life! I can already feel my newly available time being sucked up with un-essential things.

Fall has been fun - we have enjoyed football, Thanksgiving Dinner, the opening of an In and Out Burger a couple miles from our house, and seeing the kids progress in school and learn so much. It is strange that the fall is drawing to a close and the Christmas Season is upon us. Kate has become a three year old social butterfly, playing almost daily with her best friend, Emily. Carson and Audrey have surprised me with their progress in school, and Chad is in Heaven with the BYU win over Utah on Saturday.

These pics are from our leaf cleaning exploits one Saturday. We got them all blown, raked and gathered before the snow came down. The kids were in heaven playing in the leaves, and also very useful in compacting them into our garbage can.
This last Saturday morning Carson asked me to not go out to exercise. I asked him what I should do instead - and he said "play more with me". So, with that for a mission statement, I think I will play more with Carson (and Audrey and Kate)!
