Fun in DC

Hey everyone Happy Halloween!! We hope all of you had a great Halloween and a safe one too. We went up to Nelson and Karen's house for a couple of days during Halloween. We had a great 6 hour drive both ways and no accidents either way. Danika played on her first playground while we were there. She loves the swings and playing pick-a-boo while on the play-set. She went down her first spiral slide and did a somersault in the middle one time. She had a blast and you couldn't help but have a blast with her. I don't have the pictures yet but I will have them by the time we get back from Idaho. We will also have Thanksgiving pictures as well and fun with the cousins and other relatives. Lowell has told me that he should be leaving Iraq between January 15-17th but I won't believe it until I see the whites of his eyes. Lowell just wants you to know that if you are going to send something to Iraq send it before the end of November and it should get there on time or before. The rush of mail that goes out there backs up the system of USPS and it doesn't get there on time. If Lowell is coming home when he says he is then you will want to send it soon or it won't get there on time and you just might get it back. We got sister missionaries in our area finally. So now I have the joy of getting them fed every other week along with the Elders. It is a little harder now because everyone can feed the sisters and want to meet them too. So I have my work cut out for me, but it's nothing I can't handle. If I need help I have a great Ward Missionary Leader who's wife used to have the same job that I have so she knows the work you have to put into it. Well we hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving and a safe one if you are traveling like we are. We love and miss everyone and think about you all of the time especially when you don't call to say hey. Just kidding we know you are busy. Keep smiling and mom and dad are coming home soon.
