Halloween Fun

I promiss to get pictures posted about Jack's birthday soon. I am trying to stop using our laptop so much and use our regular computer more, but I can't put digital pictures on this computer. So I have to go to my laptop and insert them. I'll get to it. The Holidays slow everything down.

Halloween was fun. We had quite a few parties to attend. Our ward had a trunk or treat, Celie had a preschool party, and we both had the Ballet party and then there was Halloween of course. We only went to a few houses. Our neighborhood street was covered in masses of people! We were out of candy so fast! I have never seen so many kids (and adults) come to one house before. All the surrounding communities come to ours I think. Crazy fun!

In our new ward I received two callings. Senior nursery worker and Public Affairs representative. For those of you in Utah - I didn't ever hear of this either. They only have this calling for some areas. Anyway, one of the biggest projects we do is the "Nativity". It is where members from the stake bring their nativities to the church house for display (about 400 different nativities). They have community choirs and orchestras playing during the exhibit. Dress up in the nativity scene and receive a free photo, a craft for kids, and a cookie too. I am in charge of getting volunteers from our ward and getting the word out to the community. I m excited about this event. I think it will be so amazing to see and it will help the community understand that we are Christian. I guess it is a big missunderstanding here. So I will be busy doing that for the next month. Wish me luck!

My brother in-law tried out for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir! I can't wait to hear the results. I believe he made it back to the third call backs - Go Bob! We are praying for you.

Jack still hasn't taken his first steps, but I think it will be soon. He will stand up on his own for a few seconds before he throws himself to the ground laughing. He has learned his first sign!!!! Finished. Holding the hands up and twisting the wrists side to side. He uses it for anything right now, but he recognizes the word when I say it and he performs the sign. so cute. Our next sign is More. I'll let you know when he grasps that one. He also has gotten his first two teeth! The bottom front two. Wow, a lot of firsts this week!

Nothing else new here. I hope you all have a great weekend.
