Keep On Keeping On

He saved a tortoise crossing the road.  I miss this guy and am so happy he will be coming home in less than three months.  Considering how fast the fall season passes, he's practically coming home next week!  Not quite, but close enough.

I am totally and completely in love with these two.  After  class this week the teacher asked if Peter has ever taken a dance class before because he was doing so well.  He does have beautiful pointy- toes.
What is it with our boys and dance??  I love it!

Good buddies or squeezing to death?  One in the same.

Cannon is doing a drone videography class and he's really digging his drone.

We recently celebrated the first Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie Day of the season.  It's so wonderful.  I make a ginormous batch and then we eat cookies or all our meals that day.  Hey, they have eggs and vegetables in them.  That's well balanced.

A tender mercy that Greta discovered Bethany's old dolls under the bed the week after Bethany left for college.  That did my heart much good.

Daddy and the little kids on an outing to Farm Country at Thanksgiving Point.

That's a happy little girl.

Peter liked his horse's mohawk.

We've been enjoying some lovely fall weather.

We went to Victoria's mission farewell last Sunday.  She is a great friend of Bethany's and her family owns the dance studio where the boys started dance.   We love Victoria and her family.

My buff girls having a pull up competition.  I like how Faith's legs are straight and Elinor's are bent because she is so tall.

Abe, Elinor, and Zach at the Speech and Debate opening social last night.  Zach is a great friend to Clark, Bethany, and Elinor.  We love him.  His parents were in Vegas with us as well.

Last but not least-- some pictures of our wonderful Bethany and her darling room mate.  We are really missing her here at home.  It's made easier knowing she is having a great time up at school, but even so, this business of children growing up and leaving home is rough on the mom heart.

It is such a treat to get messages and phone calls from her these days.
