Since I last posted, we've been busy traveling, seeing family, and finishing off the XC season. Jeff and Bonnie came to Utah to visit at the end of September. We stayed in Park City for a couple days, which coincided with peak fall color in the mountains. It was beautiful! We enjoyed a relaxing weekend together.
In mid-October, Todd and I took a trip to London! Mom and Dad came out to Utah to stay with Sam for the 5 days we were gone. We had a great time (and Sam had a great time with Grandma & Grandpa!). Todd and I saw a lot in just a few days. We enjoyed everything we did, but the highlights were the Tower of London, Stonehenge, and Lacock.

The cross country season ended well, with the boys and girls teams both qualifying for state. The boys took 3rd place at state, and the girls took 5th place. We traveled down to Arizona for the Nike Southwest Regional with 14 varsity girls & 9 varsity boys from our team. Both teams raced really well! Samuel stayed home with Papa & Nonnie Mitchell, and had much more fun than he would have had on the charter bus!

We flew to Michigan for "Thanksmus". It was fun to celebrate Dad's birthday, Thanksgiving, and Christmas all in 5 days! After missing many Klein-Wassink Thanksgiving dinners, I enjoyed being with my extended family. We cut down a Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving, and opened Christmas packages the following day. Sam and Lily had fun playing together. I can't wait for a 3rd little one to arrive in the next month!
Happy Birthday, Dad/Grandpa!

With or without water, playing in the bathtub is fun!
