Sheesh, I've been lazy about blogging. Either I've lost my drive for it, or nothing interesting is going on in our lives. Well either way, here we are. Things have been rolling along pretty well for us. Greg's busy at work. Flu season, etc. Keeps those pill pushers super busy. The boys are doing great in school. Andrew recently did a report on Egypt. The second graders were all asked to choose a country and do a 15-20 minute oral report on it. I thought it was a bit much for second graders, but it actually was pretty great. My parents went to Egypt several years ago and took thousands of pictures and made them into slides. So we borrowed the old, old slide projector and showed that to the kids in Andrew's class. Mom and Dad also brought back lots of souvenirs that we borrowed to show the kids. It was a great experience for Andrew in public speaking and the kids were mightily impressed with all the cool stuff we brought in. They were also mightily impressed at the old timey slide projector and lots of kids asked what in the world that thing was. Different times.... I was working the slide projector in the classroom and wasn't able to take a picture of Andrew, unfortunately.
We braved the winter roads and drove up to Idaho for Thanksgiving. Idaho got dumped on with a terrible blizzard and the I-84 pass over Sweetzer was pretty scary. But we made it. We are grateful this holiday season for so many things. Good health, Greg's secure job, cars that drive, a warm home when it's below zero outside.
We are excited to move into the Christmas season and hope everyone has a fabulous holiday.

I found my parent's old wedding album while home for Thanksgiving. Took some pictures of pictures. That's my mom.

Nathan had a kindergarten assignment to disguise a turkey so he wouldn't be eaten for Thanksgiving. I helped.
My favorite bush in our yard that turns such a brilliant red each fall.
I was SO excited to meet my friend Danielle at a BYU game. She lives in California and came up for the game. Miss you!! Move to Utah!
(Below) Snapped a quick photo of LaVell as we entered the stadium at the same time. Such a nice guy, pressing the flesh and saying hello to everyone.
