Seth will be serving in the Argentina Buenos Aires West mission! He will enter the MTC on January 27, 2010. We are more than a little excited around here, but they have given us plenty of time to prepare. Seth wishes he was there already (it is hard to wait around when you know there is somewhere you need to go).
I have been working like crazy trying to keep up around here. I think that it is more work to have highschool and college kids than babies. You should see our house after they all run in, fix food for themselves, exchange the items that they need and then run back out the door. And the laundry is really something else.
I have also been trying to can. And I am really slow at it. But I am working on it.
Yesterday John harvested over 20 butternut squash from our garden. And a dozen banana squash. And another big box of tomatoes.
Taylor put 11 pumpkins on our front steps.
My little clogging studio more than doubled in size this fall, which wasn't a hard thing to do considering last year I had 12 kids. I have managed to keep it all on one afternoon/evening--from 3:15-7:30pm. I have students ranging from 4 to 35 this year.
I am starting to think about registering for BYU-I in January. It is kind of exciting, but pretty scary to think about it. Bethany seems to be having a different, but good experience here. She is working hard and we don't see her very much.
Madison is also working hard--we hope she makes it through this fall. She is running varsity cross country, and her couch is about running her legs right off of her. Pray that her skinny little body can take the abuse. She also has AP Biology and advanced math and english keeping her on her toes.
