Highlights!

October....
We had a beautiful October and we were so thankful for great weather at all of EWU football games. We bought a family season pass this year and had so much fun tailgating and cheering on the Eastern Eagles. Nikki and I even had our picture taken with Michael Roos (who the red turf field is named after and plays for the Tennessee Titans). Our family also hosted 3 young girls and an adult from the Watoto Children's Choir from Uganda, Africa. This is our second time having members of the choir stay at our house and we always feel so blessed by them. What remarkable children! And of course, we spent alot of time playing in the leaves at Woodridge (Andrew's school). Such a joyous activity! Halloween was busy with school parties, field trips to the pumpkin patch, trunk-or-treat for boy scouts and trick-or-treating with cousins. Abigail was a zebra and Andrew was a skeleton.

















November...
The month of November was quite busy. We went to 4 GU women's basketball games and it's always a highlight to get a picture with Spike. Grandma snuck in too! The kids and I spent Veteran's Day weekend in Gresham while Matt was in Sun Valley for his annual boy's weekend. And all of the Liezens were in one place for Thanksgiving this year and we had a great time of course!











December (so far)...
The week before Christmas we took a little 5 day adventure to Gresham for Nick and Abi's wedding. It was a special day and Abigail is quite fond of her new aunt Abi! Olivia and David were wonderful hosts and the cousins had major play time. We even squeezed in a trip to the Portland Zoo to see Zoolights with Jen, Brent and the girls. So much fun! While in Gresham, Andrew lost one of his top middle teeth. I love his toothless grin and giggles!
