October events

Here are a few photos from recent events in our family. Kirk went to Berlin, Germany, this week. This is the Social Science center where he was attending an academic conference.

 He did get to see some places in the city, including the place where the Berlin Wall used to be.

Dividing Line: West/East

 A few weeks ago, I finally got around to sewing a new skirt for myself; I used the leftover material to make a dress for Lucy.

 Henry started to stand up. You might be able to see the four cute (sharp) teeth he is now proudly showing.

 And continuing this random assortment of photos, we finally dumped the chair that had been in the boys' room for about 6 years. It broke and was dangerous, but they had many nice memories of it.

 On Friday, Andrew found a common gartersnake in our carport. We all got to touch it before he released it back into our yard. I didn't know we had snakes in our yard, but I guess we do. Andrew scared Edward with the snake.

 Saturday, Henry started climbing the stairs. He is very pleased with himself.

 Lucy wanted to wear a "new" dress on Sunday. This is the dress Grandma Wessman made for Marie and then they sent it to me. I wore it when I was in kindergarten. Lucy is taller than I am, obviously.

School and various events

Andrew started second grade. He is happy to be at school.
Edward started kindergarten. He is thrilled to be at school.
We went to Temple Square and saw a few of the sites.
After I found this zucchini, I pulled up the plants and threw them away.
Here are a few photos of the rock wall and patio/walkway areas.
Rather, they are photos of the construction sites.
Henry is crawling now. He is very cute.
One Sunday Edward constructed an amazing island out of rocks from the boys' rock collection. Then he populated it with all the animals.
We went on a picnic up the canyon.
And for General Conference, we had "bunny buns" again.
