Hi Everyone,

We had a busy Halloween week. It was lots of fun. Katelyn had a fun party at school and our ward had a party on halloween night. The girls scored way too much candy. It has been tormenting poor Justin. He finished all of his candy, but can't rest until their candy is gone as well. Unfortunately for him Ashley isn't much of a candy eater so she has almost her entire stash left, except for what Hans and I have stolen. Ashley was a witch, Katelyn a cowgirl/pony, and Justin a fireman. Mia was herself. Halloween is a fun holiday. Now we are preparing for Thanksgiving costumes, parties, and dinner. We are staying busy with the usual - playgroups, playdates, school, pre-school, gymnastics, and ballet. Yesterday we were able to go four-wheeling and ride our little dirt bike down in fountain. It was beautiful. The weather has been so great so far this winter. We hope it holds up. It's only November:) Mia is almost one month old. I can't believe how time goes so quickly. She is starting to wake up and has set wake/sleep times. It makes it easier on all of us. I am still housebound for the most part. I still hurt. I'm hoping that another two weeks will mean I am totally better. I'm craving a good run and bike ride on my new bike. Hans is busy with work. He has his open house on Tuesday night. His consultant seems pleased with the way the schedule is filling up, but it still stresses Hans out. He says that in a year he will feel better about things. He has figured out his x-ray machines and already done some fillings, root canal, and pulled some teeth. Not bad for one and a half weeks open. It should only improve.

Enjoy the pictures.

Love, Michelle
