small UPDATE

Well it seems that since I actually posted last, that a lot of time has gone by. We drove across the country, have had a few visitors, a new nephew, a little girl who is potty training (and doing pretty good too), started Lucy in school (playgroup/school, same difference, right?), and now the count down begins for another trip West.

We had a great time this summer. We drove to Colorado and spent a week with Brad's family at his family reunion. Thanks to Nicole and Monica for their hospitality and for all their hard work. It was so good to see everyone. Boys played golf, girls did girl things (brunch/shopping), had family pictures taken, played, and spent a day at Breckenridge.

Then it was off to Utah. I was able to have a whole day with my mom, all by myself! (Thanks Brad) Brad, my Dad, and the McDaniels went to the zoo, we went swimming in American Fork, hiked to Mt Timpanogos Cave, and to top the whole trip off—most of us got the flu.

Lucy was so good in the car, and kept her pants dry most of the time. We saw lots and lots of corn, and we were able to stop at the movie site for the Field of Dreams.

In september, we were visited by my Dad. When he was here we made our first trip to Door County, visited a museum by my house, photography, running, Indian food, and a picnic in the park. In October, my Mommy was able to come. Her original plans were changed due to the early arrival of Ethan Berget. So I had to wait extra long for her to come. We had fun, she is one of my best friends. I love to spend time with her. Even if it is just cleaning the house, or thinking about food storage.

Lucy started preschool in September and LOVES it, and her friends she has made there. I can't even get out of the parking lot before she asks to play with someone. She has learned her colors in spanish, and playing with other, and following rules. Her end of the semester program is this week, it should be fun. Her teachers are great too.

Now we are getting things ready to go to Utah and Montana for Christmas. We set up a small tree at home today and Lucy got her new ornament (annual tradition) and is having so much fun. She is reading her ornament (a fairy) a book right now. I may need to find a more convenient spot for Lucy and the tree.

Here are some photos to go with our ventures. Happy Holidays to all!
