A Happy Halloween!

What a busy fall we've had- school days, anniversary celebrations, family visiting, pumpkin picking, trick-or-treating, baby showering, and flu recovering. Whew! We also enjoyed a visit from my brother, John, for a few days- what a fun uncle!! Earlier in October we went down to Salt Lake to bid farewell to Richard's parents who left for their mission October 19th. They arrived in London this past week- we are so excited and proud of them! Clara is walking- hooray! She still waddles like a bit of a drunken sailor, but she is so proud of herself- she laughs the whole time. She also says, "Dank-oo!" to thank us whenever we put food in front of her. She is too cute! Halloween came quick this year and we had fun at the pumpkin patch with our neighbors (the Thomas'), my sister Karen and her family, and Richard's sister, Shantel and her family. We will post more pictures soon as our "Tinkerbell" is turning three this week. Hope you are all well. Love, Steph
