Finally Snow

For some crazy reason, we have not had much snow here in Alaska yet even though it is passed time for snow to be on the ground. This morning we finally woke up to snow on the ground. The boys were so excited to go outside and play. It is still snowing now. And the forecast for this winter is not pretty. With the mild autumn that we have had, they are predicting a snowy and COLD winter. Bring on the 70 below!!

Halloween

Tonight was the church Halloween Trunk-or-treat, or rather inside door to door here in Alaska. It was the first time that the children were able to wear their costumes. Halloween is so fun. It is great to get to dress up as whatever you want to for a day!

Tae Kwon Do

Nick tested for belt advancement in Tae kwon do on the 16th of the month. He did really well. He is very good at tae kwon do, but is shy and not very vocal. First, he demonstrated his form by himself. Then he had to demonstrate one-steps with an opponent. This Saturday, the 23rd, is a tournament that he can enter. He is not sure that he wants to do it. He just doesn't know what to expect. We will try to convince him to try one out. Hopefully we will be adding that post in a week or so.

I couldn't upload the second video of the one-steps. Sorry.

School Pictures

It seems like we just had them taken, but I suppose that it is time again.I sometimes wonder what is going on to make these children make these faces!But it is a great part of growing up; looking back at your school pictures and seeing how you have changed.Even Megan got hers taken. Photography studios are few and far between up here so we jump on it when an opportunity comes up.
