We're still here!

I realized that once summer was over, I put away my camera and stopped thinking about keeping track of our day to day lives on this blog. Admitedly, life is not nearly so exciting when we're not traveling and there is only so much to talk about. But I'm going to do a better job of journaling on here, even if it's only mundane stuff to report.
The big news is that the basement is completed enough for Meghan and Derek to move downstairs. They've been there for a couple of months now and the breathing room I feel is remarkable. The bathroom still needs finishing, but we use the family room for tv watching and the bedrooms and laundry room are great!
This past weekend we went to a house in Heber with Mark's entire family to celebrate his parents 50th wedding anniversary. It was quite the group effort to pull it all off, but we had a great time. The house we stayed in was large enough that we never felt like we were on top of each other, and there was plenty to keep everyone entertained. We finished on Sunday with a family sacrament meeting (pre-approved, of course) and it was a great experience. I didn't take nearly enough pictures, but here are a few.
