The first snow
We have had our first snow today. It wasn't much and is already gone, but it is my signal that I need to get out the big jackets. I love the first snow (even if it only makes mud). It is the sign that winter is here and it is time to snuggle down and watch the winter go by. Time for hot chocolate with marshmallows (the kids favorite). I love the way our valley looks all white and the trees all covered in white. And Christmas is coming which is exciting. Especially this year because we are heading to California for the first time since we moved here. Yeah. I know that by the time we get there I will be looking forward the the sun and warm weather!! What I am really looking forward to is seeing all our family and friends. Yeah!!
It wasn't pneumonia
Well it turns out that Justin didn't have pneumonia. He had a really bad asthma attack. I thought we were done with asthma. You know how you always hear "he will grow out of it!" Well, I thought that had happened, but it has not!! Oh well. So he is on a medication for one month that has been helping. And everything he got for the pneumonia treatment works for the asthma too, except the antibiotics, which he didn't need. So we continue down the asthma road and now I know it is not over! :)
Star Wars party
On Nov. 10th Justin turned 7 and we had a Star Wars party at our house. It was a lot of fun for the kids. As you can see we had quite a few kids there. Justin invited his cub scout wolf pack and Jacob who he has been friends with since we first got here. Then some of the siblings came too. I think in all we had 19 kids that day. It was the event! We had Jedi training - they ran an obstacle course in the garage, we played pin the lightsabor on Darth Mal, and guess the name of the Star Wars character. The cake came out cute, we decorated a Costco cake with star wars action figures we had here.
It was the hardest party I have ever done, because there was so much going on all the time. But everyone said they had fun, so I guess that is what counts.

Justin gets pneumonia
Justin has pneumonia! Can you believe it? Joshua got a cold on Thursday and then of course Justin got it on Saturday, while I was at work. Then I worked Sunday so I didn't see him until 8pm. When I got home Justin seemed OK, but Mark said he had a fever that day. So off he went to bed. So when I go to check on him, his breathing was awful. His rate was high and I could tell that he was having a really hard time. So out comes the inhaler (which I kept from our asthma days). That helped a little, but not enough. So Justin and I head off to the ER. On the way there, of course he was getting better. He was sitting up and breathing better. So then I was thinking do I really need to take him?? But, we went. And it turns out he has pneumonia. I am glad we went and started the medications he needs because his Star Wars birthday party is this Sat. We have had a quite week at home with the boys coughing everywhere and me cleaning! We are having the whole wolf pack and some extra friends over on Sat. Justin is really looking forward to it. It should be a fun time. We are checking up with Justins doctor tomorrow to make sure he is better. That is it here. Hope all is well with you. Michelle :)November 2, 2007
Oct 2007
Hi! Sorry it has been so long since my last update. We have been very busy as always. It was 44 degrees out on the day that we got our pumpkins!! 
Very cold. When it drops past 50 I start getting really cold. 50's are cold, but manageable! The pumpkin picking was a cub scout activity, so we had lots of friends there. Josh and Justin got to dress up on Halloween as Anakin Skiwalker and Superman. They each loved their costumes. We went to the church harvest festival and had a great time. There was lots to do, and candy to win!! Justin has been doing great at riding lessons. He is not afraid to get on and ride, even after his fall. I am very proud. His other favorite activity is face painting. Every other day he wants to paint his face. It is always fun to see what he comes up with. Josh's favorite thing right now is music class. He is learning so much in class. They even are learning to play the piano. The class goes by so fast I haven't had any time to take a picture. I will try to remember to do that.
So the Christmas plan is for the boys and I to get to California on 12/19 and leave 1/9. Mark can't stay that long, so he will be there on the 21st and leave the 5th. We hope to see everyone while we are there!!
