Alex ordained...

Last Sunday Alex was ordained to the office of a teacher, like most 14 year old LDS boys. His duties remain pretty much the same which mainly consists of passing the Sacrament on Sundays, although now he won't sit on the stand occasionally as the Bishop's messenger anymore.

For Halloween Hannah had a very simple costume for work. She dressed up as an ant. She wasn't sure how an ant would act for a photo...

Halloween night we had a little scare. Not as much as the family who wound up in their truck upside down on our property. They (mother and her 2 kids--around age 10 or so?) were OK because they had been wearing their seat belts. They were able to crawl through the broken windows to get out of the truck. The mother had taken the corner too fast so she plowed through the signs and wound up in the weed patch next to our driveway. She had been speeding and apparently drinking.  :( They are so lucky/blessed.

On a happier note, we were blessed with rain in the valley and snow in the mountains this weekend. What a great way to start November off.
