October Things


We takes walks in the early afternoon and usually stop by the haybarn. Normally, there are several tractors parked under the barn. Those are definitley the highlight compared to the hay. On this particular day, Joseph noticed that there is hay stacked under the barn and got his first lecture about not climbing the hay for the reason that it will fall and he will get squished.  I heard that same talk more times than I can count when I was younger.
Nathan, at 7 months, has his two bottom teeth. We jokingly called him "Sharp Tooth" because he had one for a while and we're into watching The Land Before Time. Sharp Tooth just doesn't fit now that he has two. He likes using the Little People characters to sharpen his teeth and coax others to pop through.

The first weekend of Octorber is General Conference. Getting Joseph to watch any of it is a feat. Shane decided to try hanging out under the precious blanket with him during the Saturday morning session. Joseph stayed for about thirty minutes and enjoyed the Tabernacle Choir. Luckily, we recorded all the sessions, so we were able to go back and listen when the kiddos were asleep.
For our fifth anniversary, my mom asked if we would like dinner or a piano bench. It took about a millisecond for me to reply that a piano bench would be fabulous. My Uncle Jimmy gave us the piano. It belonged to his mother and had been sitting unplayed in his home for years. He decided to clear some space and thought that we might like a piano. We were thrilled to get it and love playing it. Shane especially likes that we can stand around it and sing Christmas carols in October.
