Two weeks ago we had our first snow fall of the year. It was not very much and melted pretty quick, but it was still snow! (Don't mind Damon in his pj's, it was a Saturday morning).
On my days off it has been fun to take Damon to the little groups they have going on here. Tuesdays is Music Makers, a group of moms and little kids that get together at the church. We sing, play instruments, learn songs, and read books. Wednesdays/Thursdays are reading times for Damon's age group at the local libraries. Then there are the separate ward play groups that meet every week. We have had such a great time meeting new people and having some place to go to get out of the house and socialize. This week after Music Makers, Damon and I went with Suzanne and Lincoln (our friends who watch Damon while I am working) to the library. They were having the firemen come and talk to the kids. They put on their gear, and taught us about what they do as firemen. Then we went out to the truck.
They brought the ladder down so the kids could touch it
I think the firemen made Da a litle nervous, but he did love the truck! He just would not turn around so I could get a picture of his face.
My sweet wonderful friend Audrey sent us a fun fall package! Damon's cute orange pj's and his new Halloween Backyardigans show with snacks and the cutest card ever! It was the best, we love you Aud!
And here is a little sneak peek at Damon's Halloween costume this year.
Kyle is doing well in school. Busy as can be, but enjoying what he is studying. We are so grateful for his hard work and diligence in doing his best, even when we miss seeing him. Work is going well so far. I think in the next few weeks they will be flipping me between days and nights which will be an interesting adventure. We feel extremely blessed to be in the position we are, in the place that we are. I think everyone knows that I would have much rather stayed closer to complete our schooling. But I do not know of anything that could take the place of what we are experiencing here. We both received new callings in our ward. Kyle is teaching in the Primary, and I am an Activity Day leader. And, I get to see my doctor this week!
