Long Time No Blog

So things have been pretty crazy us. Kyle was working a ton of overtime and between Preschool, sports, choir, church and Halloween, we have been running and running! With Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up we're pretty much booked through the end of the year. I'll try to post when I can, but I may be fairly absent from the blogging scene for a while. I'm hoping to post pictures this week. We had a number of Halloween celebrations we attended--for which Avanlee had a different costume each time. We had a murder mystery dinner at our house Halloween night (super fun, set in 1928). I ended up being the culprit. I held solo auditions for the upcoming elementary school holiday concert, and our preschool group had a field trip to the fire station. We attended Stacey Larsen (Ryan)'s wedding and had a good time catching up with some old friends from CA (especially the Larsens, Wallaces, Petrovitches, and Cowdens). We have regional volleyball (co-ed and women's) tournaments, Avanlee's birthday, cutting down our Christmas tree, meetings, visits, writing a choir script, and a doctor's appointment all before Thanksgiving week. We are enjoying every minute of our crazy, exciting, wonderful life together as a family. The kids are growing and learning and we love to watch them as they progress. Kyle's doing very well at work and we're grateful to be in a good position job-wise during turbulent economic times. We are blessed with faith in a God who knows us and in whom we can trust, a loving family, a beautiful home, freedom from fear, safety, transportation, sustinance, good friends and support, among many other things. we give thanks to God who supports and sustains us. We thank our family and friends for their love, support and patience. (I'll post pics soon!)
