Sadie's Blessing and visit from Ryan's Parents

In October we blessed sadie..funny though my family was all able to come because they are from here but we have no pictures of them because sadie was sleeping. It was a great blessing. We are grateful for everyone that was able to be a part of sadie's special day!

Aunt Natalie

Grandpa John and JiJi Our Family..obviously a little wind blown

Our Sweet girl

Also when Ryan's dad was here they were able to go to the game..also 3 generations of Shurtz's

September trip to New England..Maine and Boston. We had so much fun! It is so beautiful! We were able to go spend time with Ryan's Aunt and Uncle in Maine for a week. they have a farm in Maine. It was fun to learn how to operate a small farm and grow and can your own food. I also witnessed dinner being killed... I am from the city so this was disturbing to me. Riley got some fresh air in his lungs as her literally ran with the animals all day long. It is so peaceful there. I would love to live there if I didn't like being around humans so much. We also got to take a quick trip to Boston...HIGHLY Recommend Boston to everyone! Also we were able to go to a little pennisula off of Maine called Bar harbor..breathtaking.

Beautiful Boston

Love this.....

"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenk's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helpingto weed someone's garden.I want to be there with the children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived." Marjorie Pay Hinckley
