Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving was great. We spent it with two families in our ward, the Kams and the Bradshaws. We had TONS of great food and had a lot of fun together. Then later, we went to the Bradshaw's house and ate pie and played games with all the families that live in our apartment complex. It really was a wonderful Thanksgiving and we are so grateful for everything we have, especially our families!!!

Eating Thanksgiving dinner at our friends' house (Emily slept through Thanksgiving, making it very nice for Mommy and Daddy to eat, but hard for her to be in any of the pictures)

Emily has grown a little bit more hair since the last pictures we put up...

Happy Halloween!!!

Well, it's been a long and hectic couple of weeks, but I'm finally getting some pictures of the girls up on the website. I should really teach Amy how to do this and you'd see a lot more pictures. Anyway, we had a fun Halloween. Chelsey got to go trick or treating at the church on Saturday and then at the medical school on Monday, so she's got enough candy to last her the rest of the year. Emily didn't get any candy, but so far she hasn't complained.

I have another big test week this week, so if you can't think of anything else to pray for, you can pray for me... :) Amy is doing well and manages to keep her sanity while caring for the two girls basically all by herself. I admire her a lot. She really is a great wife and mother.

Anyway, we hope everything is well with all of you and we are getting very excited for Christmas so that we can see you! Thanks for all your love and prayers!
