New Missionmerries and Halloween

We have a 12 elders here now! These are the ones serving in our branch. The guy without a badge is from Houston here on business. 2 from Mozambique, 1 from Portugal, 1 Canadian, 3 American.

Maren went as a Ninja to the school dance. She said it was very successful this year with nearly every one dressing up.

We had torrential rain during our Halloween party. Thankfully it let up before trick or treating.

Gwen went as Sally of course, from Nightmare before Christmas. Jay and his buddy made their costumes they are the ghost bookends.

Summer, Fall and Winter

We had a very restful October break. We took the boat out to the clean beach and had lots of fun playing in the waves and of course digging very large holes.

Gwen loved "surfing". She collected lots of shells and fed the crabs. Summer is here again!

On the other side of the hemisphere Jana and Missy got ready for Aunt Lisa's famous Halloween Party. I tried to upload another picture with Will in it but it didn't work.

Jana and Will have quickly moved into winter. All I can say is "BRRRRRRR"!

Fall didn't last very long!

Somebody's Birthday Shout Hooray!

When I think of you I think of you reading at breakfast just about every morning. Going quickly from Hank the Cow Dog to Harry Potter. And most importantly peeking in on you at night and seeing you reading the scriptures. Making my heart swell with gratitude.

We wouldn't have Feather if it wasn't for you!

Do you remember wanting to be a butterfly when you grew up?

What a beautiful, fun, intelligent, happy, content, witty young women you are! It is pure delight to watch and be a part of your life. I love you!
