Happy Halloween

Step away from my wand!

"I'm a brave knight . . . I'm not dragon bate." That's a line from Franklin. Gotta love kid's shows.

Cutie

Our trip

Here is a slideshow of our trip to Florida. Are we ever glad that is over! As beautiful as it was, four days is a long time to be travelling in a car with two little kids. The countryside was gorgeous--it was great to see in person. So, here we are in our apartment--our stuff finally arrived. Yeah!!!! We're unpacked and settled and really enjoying this city.
Some big news is that Matthew is walking. We think that all the space in this apartment is what finally did the trick. :) It's really cute to see him ambling around. At the DMV this morning where we went to get our official Florida driver's licenses, one guy in line told us that we should have Matthew dress up as a Frankenstein for Halloween since he kind of walks like one with his arms stretched out. Lol. I think he's a doll. Olivia's got the sniffles right now, but hopefully those clear up so she can go to church Sunday. There are a whopping 4 kids in the nursery. What a change from Provo Peak 5th Ward. There really is no official nursery leader--members just take turns. Brent was just called as the 2nd counselor in the Young Men's Presidency--he's responsible for one deacon. There are 6 young men total. Unbelievable! You'd think this was a branch, but it's a ward. We really like it though. The members are warm and friendly. We've really enjoyed it here so far.

The 25 Day Campout

So, we had our house packed up and shipped out on September 27 from Provo. We arrived in Panama City Thursday October 2, moved into our apartment October 3rd, were told our items from home would be there around October 3-7th. They didn't come. Instead, they told us they would come beween October 15-18th. They told us October 15th they would be here between the 19th through the 21st--STILL haven't come. In the meantime, we have become experts at eating on paper plates, using plastic utensils, sleeping on blowup mattresses, sitting on the floor Korean style without our couch, watching movies on our mini DVD player, and wearing the same old clothes for the last three and a half weeks. Thank goodness we purchased a washer and dryer right away or we'd really be in trouble. Sorry we haven't posted any pictures--when we get our computer with our moving stuff they will be forthcoming.
