I know, finally! I'm going to do one giant post to finish out 2009 and then come back and do another one to start out 2010. Ready, set, GO!
PRESCHOOL!
Megan started her last year of pre-school before Kindergarten in September. She just loves it! Our good friend Karolyn does it in her home and it has been great.
MORE FUN with Meggy's hair.
CRAZY OVER CANNING!
After moving here, we realized we had some fun treats in our yard. One, was an apple tree! We went nuts canning and ended up not only doing apple sauce, apple butter, and apple jelly, but we were able to get some peaches plums and choke cherries and did Choke Cherry syrup, peaches, peach salsa, peach jam, peach berry jam, and plum jam.
We made a makeshift canning kitchen on the back porch and made it a family affair! Rain or shine! :-P
Sometimes, Megan would be off catching grasshoppers in the rain instead.
This picture is before all of the plum jam and choke cherry syrup. I wish we had a picture
of all of it! We have almost 2 hundred quarts and pints! Yay!!!
My brilliant husband realized we had a lot of yummy pulp left over after juicing all of the
plums so we used our dehydrator to make plum leather! YUMMMYYYY!!!!!!
And yes, we were exhausted! I didn't know Drostan took this one until I saw it later.
FAMILY VISITS!
Nana, Papa, and my brother Bruno's kids came up for a visit the beginning of September. They kids had fun playing in all the moving boxes, roasting hot dogs, and celebrating Nana and Papa's birthdays!
VINYL by Jenn
That's right, I now have my own business. It's growing a bit slower than I'd hoped but really I probably can't handle much more than I'm doing. I have a different blogspot for it if anyone is interested in anything. I need to update that one too. :-P
PRIMARY
When I got here, they put me in as a cub scout assistant. 3 weeks later, they called me to be in the primary presidency. Then, just 6 weeks later, they took the president into the Stake and made ME primary president. Oh yeah, just 1 week before the program!!!!!! :-S It has been crazy but a lot of fun.
SWINE FLU
Yup, it hit our family. Poor Kyle got it this Fall and was out for a week. I quarantined him to his room and brought him his meals and only let him out to shower and use the bathroom. I think he secretly loved getting to lie in bed and watch movies for a week. :-P Nana and Papa sent him a sweet gift to cheer him up. He really loved it.
HALLOWEEN
I feel horrible I didn't get all of the kids pictures taken but I did get Jaron's. He had fun helping me at the door and yelling "Happy Halloween!" to every Trick-or-Treater that came to our home.
