Visitor

My mom came to visit us in Mississippi last week! We had so much fun showing her some of our favorite places and enjoying the nice weather. We walked a lot, and talked even more. We ate some yummy local Southern food, and wandered around looking at all the beautiful homes.

We had a picnic on the beach during sunset, and it was pretty perfect. It may not be the most "touristy" or "sight-seeing" place we have lived, but it really is beautiful!

We spent a few hours in New Orleans before I took her back to the airport. It was fun to walk around together because we notice and appreciate the same things. We ate beignets and pralines and had so much fun together! We are so glad she could come for a quick visit!

October

October was a little bit crazy, but also full of lots of good things. We had a lot of great Halloween events and activities, and trick-or-treating in our new neighborhood was lots of fun.

Matthew and Anna did another session of swimming lessons and they both did awesome! They have also been doing piano lessons and it is so fun to see them learn new talents and improve their skills.

I can't stop talking about the amazing weather we have been having, and it has been so nice to spend time outside without getting so hot! We love the nice cool mornings and warm afternoons. We spent a lovely day together at the Baton Rouge temple and it was the perfect ending to a full and busy month. Happy November!
