Fall Retreat

Hello!

We made it through Fall Retreat! It was a lot of fun and the weather was amazing! I think on Saturday it was 73 degrees and sunny. Who could ask for anything more? Except I did forget to carry around the camera to take pictures of Jack eating dirt, sticks and all that exciting stuff. He loved to be around Eowyn. Josh, Liz, and Eowyn came down from Minnesota and Josh led music for the youth which was really fun. It was fun to see them and spend time with the 3 of them, the next time we see them we'll get to hold a new baby.

Jack got a new hat and mittens from LL Bean (free shipping, gotta love that!). We had a hard time finding a hat that latched under his chin. Since he has such an ear fettish we wanted to have some control of making his hat stay on. At least until he figures out how to take it off. He loves wearing mittens and clapping. I'm not sure how the 2 relate, but who knows? We did get some cute pictures in the kitchen, since it hasn't been cold enough to wear them outside.

The other excitement is that April and Jesse got engaged! YIPEE! Jack was doing a happy dance for Auntie April. We better get our dancing shoes out and dusted off. :) It's so neat to have such a great friend (a sister at heart) get engaged.
