About twice a month we write a mass email to our friends and family giving them an update on our life here in Utah. We call it our "Highs and Lows." We decided that from now on we are going to post part of the email to the blog. Don't worry mom, we will also add some pictures of the girls for you to enjoy.

High: It’s fall! I absolutely love fall. It always brings back great memories of raking widow’s lawns, carving pumpkins, trick or treating the same house several times (hey it wasn’t my fault the guy handed out Keebler cookies), drinking hot chocolate with a couple of spoons of vanilla ice cream in it, and cuddling up inside watching a great oldie with my mom. It’s the greatest time of the year. Happy fall everyone!
Hannah Says:
Hannah has given me (Edgar) a nickname. She occasionally calls me “baker.” This affectionate nickname comes from Cinderella 2. If you haven’t seen it, this movie is just a collection of three different stories. One of them is of Anastasia falling in love with the baker and Cinderella helping her win his heart. The cutest part is when I ask her, “If I’m the baker then who are you?” She replies, “I’m Anastasia.” It melts my heart every time.
Today Hannah was picking her nose and I said, “oh gross!” While continuing to pick her nose, she replied, “No, it’s not gross. It’s just a bugger.”
The other day, Hannah put on a pair of jeans because it was cold outside. Well, because of the summer, it had been a while since she had jeans on and when she put them on she put her hands in her pocket, looked down and then quickly put her head back up as if she had just realized something important and said, “Look, I’m daddy!” That little stinker was making fun of me because I don’t own a pair of shorts (besides the gym shorts I wear to bed) and I’m always wearing pants!Oh, this one is my favorite! We had just parked right next to a red suburban and Hannah points to it and says, “Woah, that red thing looked like a hotdog for a second. Haha.” It was super hilarious! Especially because she laughed at her own joke.SarahHigh: I just spent the last week with my sister and her family in Boise. It was a very enjoyable trip. My sister was so accommodating and the girls were wonderful. My sister Beth is one of my best friends. I had so much fun staying up late talking, going couponing, and taking the kids to the park. The plane ride there and back went smoothly too. On the way home the captain said we were going to be delayed at least a half an hour. I knew sitting in the plane an extra half an hour was not going to be easy, but next thing I knew Hannah and Julia were asleep. They slept through the whole delay and through half the plane ride. I appreciated this small and simple blessing and thanked God right then with a silent prayer.

High: I should get an award for being the best roller ever. I can sprint (roll) across around in a half a minute no problem. Sometimes I like to play hide and seek with my parents. Today my dad placed me safely on a blanket in the living room. He stepped in to the kitchen for a moment (a couple feet away). A moment later he glanced into the living room from in the kitchen and I was gone. It took him a few moments but he finally found me smiling up at him from under the kitchen table. How many 5 month old babies do you know who have that speed?
