A Very Busy October

Our October has been busy with moving, but we've also done a lot of fun things.  We miss family and friends a lot but we're doing great in Saint Louis.  Andrew and Hannah both love their teachers and classes so I'm so happy about that.  Hannah made the transition from 2 1/2 hours of school a day to 7 hours of school a day without any problems.  Daniel's job is going well and I love having him home more.

Before we moved

We loved staying at Grandmas!

Flying to Saint Louis

Ethan loved the sticker book from Grandma

Eliza loved the baby doll bag from grandma.  Being able to bring the carseat on the airplane was a lifesaver!  The kids all did really good and we were grateful Daniels mom was there to help.

pumpkin patch 5 - I've lived in Washington my whole life and I've never gone apple picking.  I thought it was funny that we went in Saint Louis after living here only 2 days.

Cousin Megan, Hannah, Eliza and Daniel - We're happy to be near Daniel's family


Andrew had fun climbing


Saint Louis temple

The Saint Louis zoo is awesome...and free.  We need people to come visit so we can show them the cool zoo.

Getting ready to trunk or treat

Queen Elsa

Harry Potter

He loves the balance bike!  We miss having a cul-de-sac but our street is pretty quiet.

Happy Hannah

Eliza cleaning the windows.  Her hair is getting so long and out of control, I don't know what to do with it.  I like this hair style but she doesn't like sitting still for me to do it.

Washing dishes.  I don't know why these pictures all look so pixely.  They look fine on the computer, just not on blogger.

I tried to find pics that showed the house a little, but I'll take better ones of the house and post them soon.

We're ready to go trick or treating
