October!

 Where there's a screen, there's boys!

And muscles.

Same boys, fewer muscles:

For the first time in my entire life, we saw the Northern Lights!

Right in our own backyard!

It was actually less impressive with the naked eye.

We had to use cell phone cameras to be able to really see the colors.

But still, Northern Lights in Maryland?? So cool!

And how crazy are we?

This crazy:

Okay, not 4 kids in soccer crazy.

Elijah just wanted in the picture.

Three in soccer at once is our max.

Both elementary kids got student of the month in October!

October was also the Primary Testimony Meeting, featuring all 12 kids of the Bynum Run Ward!

Definitely a different feel than when we had 140 kids.

But it was a sweet, beautiful meeting. 

Notice Aaron's face?

That's the face of a boy who is ready to be done with Primary.

Annual Halloween tradition: cut out sugar cookies!

Catherine has been taking the lead on this one.

I'm a big fan.

This year's ofrenda:

Definitely my new favorite part of October.
