We have had another round of the dreaded head cold here this week. It’s one of the few anti-perks of hanging out with toddlers.
We enjoyed seeing Teddy participate in the Primary program last Sunday. He said his part beautifully. Arthur was blessed by his daddy in Sacrament meeting today. We’ve enjoyed playing with the Mueller boys, walking in St. Louis’s lovely parks, and eating some really good Italian food (in the Hill neighborhood) and tacos (on the Delmar Loop). We’ve also been trying to plan for the coming year and catching up on personal projects.
Anyway, since we are under the weather, I thought I would keep this extremely brief and wish you a happy November. Enjoy the photos of our grandkids with jack o’lanterns and dressed in their Halloween costumes. Ciao!
Paradise
Happy October! We hope you are enjoying this beautiful time of year! Some people dream of paradise on a quiet tropical beach, listening to the surf with a drink in hand. Not this girl! Give me mountains, especially drenched in autumn color, bursting with new spring leaves, or covered in snow. We are spending October in one of our favorite places–Big Cottonwood Canyon just east of the Salt Lake Valley. We are loving the gorgeous golden aspen with the deep pine greens. Hiking is great and so is the smell of fresh forest! Nathan’s sister, Liz, and her husband, Christian, joined us one morning for a lovely hike through the woods. We got to experience a powerful thunderstorm and then a full day of snowfall. Our condo for the month is just right for us and we love having access to a pool, hot tubs, sauna, and workout facilities. We especially like that we can pop back to the valley to do some shopping or see family and friends. So far, so good!
Fun Family Time
We have had a lovely couple of weeks in Utah. We’ve been able to rest and recover from five months of travel, help Nathan’s mom at her house, and spend time with family.
Full Circle
Five months ago we flew to Rome from Utah. We had a summer of trying new places and experiences and revisiting old favorites and now we’re back where we started. Since we get the question a lot, I thought I would share some of our favorites from our travels in Europe this year.
