Hang in there....this is a long one.

Still way behind, this is a bit of randomness of what we were up to before the holidays.

To avoid too much detail here is some pics. of some of the fun things the kids did with playgroup. We were able to frequent many parks, visit the Rangers Stadium and refresh some of our baseball skills along with learning a bit more about our team. We even got to tour the field and have snacks! We were also able to have some fun Halloween parties.















We were able to get together with a few of the residents Ryan has been able to work with the last few months. It was fun to finally meet some of these people I hear so many stories about. The kids also had a great time playing...there were some amazing inflatables!





This is the newest addition to the babies on the residents list for '09. She is sooo cute! Madison of course was loving every minute with her and hasn't stopped asking for a little sister since.

One of Madison's many school creations. She still isn't loving going to school but she does have a great time once she is there. She has made some new friends and contiunes to surprise us with how much she know and how fast she learns.



Some cute pics. of the kids. and some of their milestones.



Following in Dad's footsteps, although thank goodness Ryan doesn't go for the boufont in the O.R. Seriously, those things are so ugly!







Love this picture...check out those eyes!



A work in progress. If my memory serves me well it was around September that this little one was up and down these things like a pro! (Wow...I am behind!)



It's nice to have weather that is conducive to going to the park in October.



Madison's first talk in Primary and first Primary Sacrament Program. She did great for both. She had both the talk and her part memorized but I gave most of the talk as she was too shy but she surprised us all by doing her whole part in Sacrament Meeting by herself. Go figure she is fine around all the adults but intimidated by a bunch of kids??!
