Arrgh, Matey!

We took one more step towards becoming a long term member of the community. Quaid and Mikiya had physicals this week. This included shots for both of them. Both kids actually did really well. For the record, both are in the upper percentages for size and are healthy overall.

Yesterday was the ward Halloween activity. It consisted of a chili cook off and then a "Trunk or Treat" for the kids. We broke tradition this year. Instead of having a family theme for costumes, we had two categories. Megan and Quaid were "Sports Fans" and me and Mikiya were "Pirates". It was fun! Mikiya had thought about being a princess, I for one was glad she picked princess. Megan's nylons would have been much too short for me.

Happy Halloween!

P.S. Our pictures taken the old way turned out better. So stay tuned for those.

And Then There Were Four

Okay, I have been a poor blogger. But I will try to get into a more regular routine. If you want to see my other contributions to the blogging world, visit www.idahosbdc.org. I must warn you though, there are not any pictures of Quaid or Mikiya.

Well this last week was surreal for me and real fun for Megan and the kids. Last weekend we had Miles & Sheila visiting for a few days. I think the highlight of the visit for the kids was going to their hotel and swimming. Quaid didn't have quite as much fun as Mikiya as the pool was too cool and the hot tub was too hot. Talk about your Goldilocks episodes. Mikiya also had a blast showing Grandma and Grandpa the greenbelt and how to "herd" the ducks and geese into the water. Quaid was just content to be outside in the fresh air. On Sunday, Miles flew to St. Louis for work and Shelia drove back to Idaho Falls. Megan and the kids went with her. So I had to fly solo all week. It has been good to have them all home. The house and car seemed so empty while they were gone. But they did have a good visit with all the family they saw and the kids did quite well in the traveling part of the adventure.
For those interested, here is the "Spanish love song" Megan was asking you all about.

Delays

Sorry for the lack of new info. We had some technical difficulties that have now been resolved. We will have the new pictures and stories forthwith.
