Winter's Here...

October has been an interesting month with visits and projects and hopefully this will update our activities. Andrew and his children, Jane and Reynolds arrived on the 21st from Salt Lake City, where they had dropped off Sarah who was heading north to Calgary, Canada with a friend. We were happy to have them for the rest of the week. Andrew and I got to play a couple of rounds of golf and the weather was perfect. Jane and Reynolds got used to us (we think) and had the run of the house. Here are a few pictures of a few minutes before bedtime in our bedroom.








Andrew left for Denver on Sunday after sacrament meeting and Jane and Reynolds were with us for a couple of days and did very well. They certainly liked the nursery in Primary. On the following Monday, a member of our stake came and began a project of installing our new counter tops and back splash in the kitchen. We made the decision to do this last month and are finally around to it. The end result was beautiful and I hope you all like it. Pam does for sure.







Monday evening, late, Sarah and Erin and Kate arrived from Salt Lake. Sarah had spent all day Monday coming from Calgary to Salt Lake. She had a great trip and we were happy to have her with us for the week. Jane and Reynolds were happy to have their mother back. Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate too well and it was quite cold. On Wednesday a huge storm rolled through and resulted in snow, the first snow of the season. The kids wanted to be out in so much that after breakfast we let them go and they had a little fun, although they were pretty cold and didn't associate cold with snow. But they soon found out.








So that's our hectic schedule. Andrew is going to meet us in Grand Junction this week end and we will give him back his family. Other than that we are doing well and I am preparing for Stake Conference in November--will be glad when that is behind me.

Love the new kitchen! I can't wait to see it in person. And I'm so jealous that I'm not there with all the kids. Hope you are having fun!
