Oktoberfest.

Last weekend, we celebrated Oktoberfest with a few friends. The highlight was definitely the mechanical bull that Jack rode twice. Because in my mind, nothing says Oktoberfest like a mechanical bull.  












Life is pretty good around these parts.  

Jack is loving school, particularly math- he absolutely loves working with numbers. He is also preparing for his school production, which is at the end of the month, and is going to be epic.  He also has a singing solo in the Primary Program, (one Sunday a year in church where all of the children sing and have speaking parts).  

Thomas is constantly surprising us with his bouts of attitude. He is  developing his sense of self, and unlike Jack, I have no idea what to expect from him.  It is a lot of fun watching him.

Ben is excited because he has found some people to play basketball with...now they just need to find a place to do it.

I am busy with school, and am halfway through the semester. The next most exciting thing happening to me is that I am recovering from the most hideous and terrible boil on the back of my neck.  I wanted to put pictures of the horrid thing (which now resembles a volcano) on the blog, but Ben said ABSOLUTELY. DO. NOT. DO. THAT.  Therefore, for everyone's sake, including my own, I will refrain from publicly displaying the development of the growth on my neck- I photo documented the growth from the beginning.  I'm sorry and you're welcome. 

On a less grotesque note, we are in the midst of bidding, and hopefully in the next few weeks- maybe months- we will know where we will going next. We are coming back to the States next, so basically no matter where we go, we will be closer to family, and a lot of our friends. 

There you have it.  The basic summary of all of our goings on.

I love that Jack rode the bull! What a brave kid! I am embarrassed to say I wish there was a picture of the boil on your neck! Lol I am glad you are recovering from it.
