Fall

After summer came... fall. Caleb and Isaac played soccer. Joseph did Cub Scouts. In September my aunt, uncle, and cousin came to visit from the east coast. They have a lovely tradition going of taking a week or two during the fall and coming out west to visit some national parks. This year the came to Colorado. After spending a few days at Rocky Mountain National Park, they headed west to our neck of the woods. We were lucky to get to spend a day with them hiking around Maroon Bells near Aspen. That night they treated us to some fantastic Nepalese food. It was great to see them!

There were the usual projects around the house.

Some Very Tall Lego Towers.

Some cuddling while we watched General Conference in October.

Some raking and jumping around in leaves.

I helped out at school. I tried to get a mill levy to pass so our school district wouldn't need to make really drastic cuts for next year, possibly (likely) including closing our elementary school. It would have cost property owners about $3-$10 per month. But times are tough, and it didn't pass. I can get all worked up about it, but we'll see how things shake out. Maybe it won't be as drastic as I fear.
