Grant, Christine, Grace, Thaddeus, Madelyn & Ephraim: October

"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

— Marjorie Pay Hinckley

October

Grace loves to read. She is reading the Boxcar Children series and is on book 15 or so.

Thaddeus is trying to become Ephraim's favorite person. Some days he hugs and plays too hard, but he's working on it :)

Madelyn is still as cool as can be!

We painted our house, that may have been in September though, I can't remember.

Ephraim can now see out the front window. He loves it and if you can't find him, chances are he's there. He also broke two more teeth through for a grand total of 8, I love when teeth break through in pairs, it seems that they cry just as much but did twice the work!!
