Devin just received his mission call! He will be serving a Family History Mission in Salt Lake City! He is very excited, and we are really happy for him. I am swinging from overjoyed, to freaked out! The kid leaves in one month! Yes, four weeks. His farewell will be on December 26th, and he reports the following Saturday. Yikes!

Winter

This picture is actually Liam on his birthday trip to Salt Lake City, but it did snow like crazy for a little while, so it counts. Unlike the rest of the kids, who picked a major activity, Liam only wanted to go to Cabella's to play at the shooting gallery, and to hang out with mom and dad. That was the easiest yet!
I fondly remember Christmases when there were fun toys wrapped up and crowded under the tree. Now? There are a bunch of little (but absurdly expensive)presents under there, and it looks pretty sad. I think next year, no matter what the gift, it's going in a big ol' box and getting wrapped, just so the tree will look like I think it should. I don't even have any good pictures of this Christmas, and those I do have haven't been downloaded yet. Sorry, people!
