A Bunch of Turkeys

This week Ashley prepared Family Home Evening and this picture is the result of the activity. I'm not really sure what the headband is for, but I think the pic represents our family pretty well. I love Thanksgiving. I think it has to do with a lot of good memories from childhood. We would gather with my dad's side of the family. I loved being with my cousins. Looking back I was probalby the annoying little cousin to them, but all I have a fun memories. Seeing uncles, aunts and the people there that make you wonder who they are and are they actually part of the family and if so who do they belong to? I guess my memories of Thanksgiving are warm and happy.

Lately, I've been hosting Thanksgiving at my house for my mom's side of the family. I wonder what kind of memories it's making for the children now.

First Bike


I found this little red bike at a garage sale. I thought it would be just right for David until we get him a new one for his next birthday. The tires are a little worn, but the good thing about having a 4 year old is that he doesn't care (because he doesn't even notice).

Just Something



I am having such a hard time with keeping up with blogging. I was just looking at some other people's blogs and they write A LOT and have lots of cute pictures too. I guess I need to remember that none of the ones I looked at are written by people who have to go outside the home to work. Anyhow, even though I have a sink of dirty dishes and a thousand household chores that need to be done, I'm going to write something. There that feels a tiny bit better. By the way, on Halloween, right before we were going to go trick-or-treating, David had his rectum slip out again. Dustin decided that he would take matters into his own hand and put it back in place himself. We took David to the doctor and he said it was fine to push it back in and to give David raisins, grapes, and apple juice to keep his stools soft. OK, enough yucky stuff. He is doing fine. OK, so here are a couple of pictures of Halloween this year.
