So yeah it's been over a month since I've updated this. Yes we are still here and everyone is doing great. 

School is going well for everyone. Daniel is learning to read. He brings home books each week and loves reading to us.  His favorite part about school is lunch and recess - but really didn't anyone think it would be something different.

Natalie is becoming a math bug. She loves it. She brings home math homework each week and gets all done on Monday night!  Homework free for the rest of the week! She also is excelling in her reading skills. Many nights she will read to Daniel!

Mark had another successful deer season and soon we will be waiting for the ice to come so that we can enjoy ice fishing.  My semester will be done Dec 14th and I can not wait for the class to be over.

We enjoyed the fall with hikes with family and friends. Had a couple of late season parties. We had a great Thanksgiving at Grandma & Papa's house - complete with a grilled turkey and dip in the hot tub! We are holding off on starting to celebrate Christmas until after Natalie's birthday. 

Here are the photos - they are not in any order - but all from this fall.....

These next two pictures are from adventures that I had during the. First is a ropes course that I did with Jocelyn and her sister Kara. We had a great time and all were very sore the next day and are already planning for next year. We are going to tackle the zip line! The second picture if after a road race that I did with friends Zofie and Jen. We all finished and had smiles on after the race!
