Three little Ghosts

Here are my three little ghosts. We tried on our Halloween costumes in preparation for a party tonight. I'm not sure how long the littlest ghost is going to make it though. I knew he would never leave it on if I tried to put it over his head, that's why I decided to try the hat, but he isn't crazy about that either. So, far he isn't sold on being a ghost.

Introducing Samuel Joseph Oldham

Well, my brother finally did it. He finally produced a male heir. After three beautiful little girls he finally got his boy, who is also beautiful. Sam was born on Wednesday, October 15, 2008. He weighed in at 8+ pounds.

He is the 11th grandchild born into the Steve Oldham family, we now have 6 girls and 5 boys. Up until I explained this to Gordon he has been saying that he wants our next baby to be a girl (Yes, I am expecting, due in April!) but after hearing there are more girls than boys in the family he has changed his mind and says he now wants us to have a boy to even things up. He is all about things being orderly, even and fair.

Anyway, I am so excited for Joe and Amy and their new beautiful baby boy. Congrats guys! Love you!

More Glimpses of Fall

The beautiful fall colors in Covered Bridge.

We took 4 TRUCKLOADS of leaves down to the burn-pile one afternoon. That's a lot of leaves, and of course there are still MORE.
Fresh peach pie that I made myself. It was delish.

Soccer

Soccer has been keeping us busy lately. Gordon enjoys playing and I think it is good for him. He is still loving school.

Other things we have been up to include remodeling our bathroom. I will show pictures when it is all done. We are almost there.

This week we are supposed to have our wood floors refinished and then we are going to remodel the kitchen; get new marble counter-tops, a new cook-top and a new microwave, new sink, new lighting, maybe some paint. All of the plans and preparation for these things have been keeping me super busy. I can't wait until it is all done. It is going to be so nice.

Exciting News

My baby brother Jason received his mission call on Friday. He has been called to serve in the Culiacan, Mexico Mission. He goes into the MTC on December 31, 2008. I can hardly believe that my baby brother is old enough to go on a mission! But I am so excited and proud of him.

Right before he opened his call we all predicted where we thought he might go and guess who called it! Me! I said Mexico and sure enough it was Mexico! It was just a lucky guess but I did have a feeling that he would have to learn another language and would probably go somewhere outside the US!
