Thanksgiving Day! I made the full Turkey day meal--rolls, potatoes, yams, jello salad, brocolli salad, corn, carrots, and stuffing. We had our friends, the Truscotts, over (they are vegan), so the huge meal was enjoyed by just Scott and I. The kids had a few rolls. Needless to say, we have lots of left-overs!


At the ripe age of 36 (almost 37), Scott decided it was time to take a step up in the car market and buy a Volkswagen Touareg. The Durango was going on 10 years old and every time he left for work (5:00am at times), the kids would wake up from the vroom, vroom of the Durango. So, agreeing to a change in cars for me meant a couple more hours of sleep. Although I will miss being able to hear him coming home from work from a couple miles away.

Halloween 2007, Ethan was a Ninja, Ryan refused to wear anything but PJ's, Ireland was a Snow Princess for the 2nd year running (We actually forced Ryan into a pirate costume that he promptly took off the second we got home). They had lots of fun trick or treating. Especially Ryan, who was so excited that he would run into our neighbors houses when they opened the door to give him candy. After we pulled him out, he would take off to the next house, but in his excitement he would trip and all his candy would go flying. He did that about 5 times. Scott and I had a great time watching him!

September/October Highlights



Scott, Ethan and Ryan at the Joseph Smith Barn in Palmyra, New York.
We've been so lucky to have lots of company over the last month! Chad, Bren and Aden came to visit over Labor Day weekend. Julie, Will, and Alyssa came to visit the last week of September. My mom, Lorenne, Jen, and my nieces McKenzie and Mia came to visit the beginning of October. And Doug and Janet came to visit the second weekend in October. We went to Niagara Falls, Letchworth State Park, Brown's Berry Patch, Powers Farm Market, Stokoe Farms, Church History Sites, Bristol Mountain, Naples, and Strong Museum. We also took the paddleboat out on the Erie canal. We've stayed up late, eaten lots of unhealthy foods, and had a great time!! Thanks for coming to see us!
