This is a big one!

Yes, it has been too long since our last post, but better late than never, I always say. A lot has happened: my brother got married, Sissy started kindergarten, Dudie started preschool, we enjoyed Halloween, and the list goes on. We'll start with Halloween. Here are our costumes. Olivia, true to form, is Tinkerbell; Matthew is Superman!; Brent is Zorro and Janae is Queen Elizabeth--quite the eclectic group.




Here is Little Dudie demonstrating the snack prayer song for us.

Here are pictures from our trip home to Grant's wedding:

First Day of School

Olivia had her first day of kindergarten today. She did so well. We were really proud of her--she just went to her class and after we stayed a few minutes she just waved good bye to us and we left. In the car Matthew said "I'm going to miss her." :(

Here's Olivia in her uniform--the kids can wear only khaki or navy skirts/skorts/pants or jumpers as well as a shirt with the school emblem on it.


She looks pretty bored here, doesn't she?
