A few pics

Matt and I in front of the Nauvoo temple. When we were in Chicago a few weeks ago my in-laws watched the boys so we could go down to Nauvoo by ourselves and we had a great time. This picture is a selt-portrait, which I was pretty happy with since I got the temple centered in the picture. :-)
I think we only had 1 nice day of weather while we were in Chicago (most of the time it was rainy and freezing) and so the boys and I were able to go to our old park that day and we had a lot of fun. It was weird but nice being back in our old neighborhood.
Matt and the boys on Halloween. Matt was a really cute Clark Kent, TJ was Batman and Cooper was a dinosaur. We enjoyed finally having trick-or-treaters since we we have always lived in an apartment/condo where we didn't get any.
Things here are going well for us. We have been enjoying the fall and it's starting to feel like winter with the few snow storms we've gotten and the cold weather. We had a wonderful trip to Chicago and were able to see quite a few friends while we were there, although there were a few dear friends we missed due to them being out of town. Last week TJ turned 4 (I need to download those pictures) and he had his first party with friends. It was a little chaotic with 13 kids ages 3-6 (he had a joint party with is cousin Seth since they share a birthday) but it was fun. Matt is still really enjoying his job, and for the most part I love being home with the boys, although today isn't my favorite day of all. :-) Overall we are doing great and have so much to be grateful for. We are looking forward to the holidays and spending a lot of family time.
