Michelle Is Big Sister

Michelle is a great big sister.  I caught this moment of her reading to Lena while I made dinner!

Old Faithful Field Trip

For one of Jim's classes he had to take field trips to several "green" buildings.  The first qualifying building in a National Park is the new Visitor's Education Center at Old Faithful in Yellowstone.  So we braved the chill and ended up having the best trip ever to the popular site.  Usually it is packed with people, but it was the last weekend being open for the season and was nearly empty.  The center was neat, Michelle especially liked the youth section.  We did a few little walks.  The air was crisp and clear and the sun was shining!  We lucked out though, because the snow moved in the next day!

Happy Halloween (A Few Weeks Later)

I just wanted to share some Halloween memories.  Jim was in Wyoming :(.  But Micki was SOOOO CUTE!

Let it SNOW!

Winter has come to Idaho Falls!  In fact, the reason this post has no pictures is because my camera is in the car, and the car is covered in snow!  Michelle likes to say "Noing" which means "It's snowing."  We are making holiday plans and birthday plans too!  Jim is working on finishing this semester of school.  Next semester he should start work on his Master's Thesis/Project, and hopefully he will be done next December! The girls are cute in their winter gear (of course).  And I have an excuse to wear hats and scarves two of my favorite accessories!
