Fall 2009 (our first blog)

We love the Fall! We drive through Sardine Canyon many times throughout the year, but we especially love the first week in October. We even see herds of deer if we keep our eyes open. Even the kids are getting good enough at spotting them. The kids are looking forward to Halloween. Bridger, Porter and Ty are being Star Wars characters and Katie has a variety of costumes. It will depend on her mood that day. As for me and Charley, Charley is going to be a "Johnny Greaser" and I am going to be a witch. I play that role well. I am looking forward to the Witches night out with my Mom and sisters. We are hopin to expect puppies right before Christmas. We also hope to survive the flu season. Ty and Kate have got the swine flu now. Bridger and Katelyn are doing well in school. We just went to first parent teacher conference this year and the reports were all good. They are both very well behaved and well mannered in class. They are loved by their teachers. Katelyn finally got her cast off this week and it's been great to give her a normal bath! It's nice for her to be able to use her right hand for writing too. Charley has had a miraculous recovery from his carpel tunnel syndrome, for now atleast. Keep stretching!
