      Ok it is time to play catch-up.  October kicked off with my birthday.  It was great.  Nothing out of the ordinary happened except that I got to live to see it.  My kids surprised me with home-made birthday cards and breakfast in bed.  They fixed me toaster waffles, milk, and a tray of mini candy bars.  I did not get to eat any of it because I had to jump out of bed and help the kids get off to school.  As I was helping the kids get ready, they would ask if they could have a candy bar or a waffle.  Bit by bit my breakfast was disappearing and by the time I was ready to eat, I had to make my own breakfast.  I am happy to share.  I am in great health and great spirits.  I love my position in life.  I am a wife and a mother and try hard to contribute to society by helping others anonymously.  Tim also allowed us to upgrade our piano.  I am so happy.  All the keys and pedals work.  It is really enjoyable to play. 
      We also got to celebrate Xadia’s birthday.  She had a tinker bell party.  A young woman in our ward dressed up as tinker bell and came to help with the party.  It was perfect.  The kids were enamored with her and Xadia decided she wanted to be tinker bell for Halloween.  I love throwing parties for four-year-olds.  They are so easy to please.

      We took family pictures during the month.  What a dreaded experience.  It takes a miracle for all of my kids to be looking at camera and smiling at the same time.  Thank goodness for “paint” by windows.  I had to do a few face transplants to get a decent picture.  Oh how I love my family.
