Words of Encouragement

“If you are still in the
process of
raising children . . .
be aware that the
tiny fingerprints that
show up on almost every
newly cleaned surface,
the toys scattered about
the house,
the piles and piles
of laundry
to be tackled will
disappear all too soon
and that you will
-to your surprise-
miss them profoundly.”
President Thomas S. Monson

Halloween Time

A Witch, Boba Fett & Frankenstein set out for our ward "Trunk R Treat"

Fun with cousins at the YMCA Halloween Party


Tyrone won best costume for his age group at the Trunk R Treat

We only carved one pumpkin this Halloween. We carved it on Halloween night too. We have big plans for next year. At least 5 pumpkins.

Niamh turns 2

Niamh turned 2 years old on October 20th. She loved opening her presents and every time we sang "Happy Birthday" to her, she sang right along. She played with her presents most of the day and then we had a little family party in the evening. Niamh got lots of fun presents and some really cute clothes. I can't believe my baby girl is 2. She is a spitfire and likes to rule the house. She loves running around all day long. She loves Mickey & Minnie Mouse and Tinkerbell. She loves to sing and she loves to drink. By that I mean, she drinks most of her meals throughout the day. I can barely get her to eat anything. We love our Niamhy and are blessed to have her in our family.
