Where have we been?

Obviously life is out of control at our house because we have not had any time to blog. September just slipped away in a flurry of school, kindergarten, Seminary and Murray.
Anna is probably the happiest in our house right now because she absolutely loves kindergarten. The biggest challenge for me right now is that each day she has to wear something that starts with the next letter of the alphabet-26 days of torture! On "F" day she was wearing a shirt with flowers on it and the neck line had a little v-dip in it. She decided that it was not modest enough and had to go put a t-shirt under it so she could be more modest. You've got to start them young I say. We were going to get apicture of her modest outfit but didn't get to it.
I had my first parent teacher conference for Anna last week. The teacher slid a paper in front of me and said that this was a test that they give at the end of the school year to see if the kids are ready for 1st grade. Anna had a plus in front of each item. The teacher said she is ready for 1st grade now. I hope all my PTC for the rest of Anna' school career go like that.
Seminary this year had been challenging. I was really hoping Book of Mormon would be a great year but I have had a hard time getting all 18 of my students to come. Those who do come, many do not want to read the assignment or participate in class. Of the 18 kids I only have 5 who are reading the Book of Mormon. I've tried pleading, begging, bribbing, etc. They don't get it. Very frustrating. I am still loving the in depth study that come from being a Seminary teacher and even if they don't get much out of it I sure am.
Murray's work continues to grow and he has been out of town a lot. Last week was DeMoine next week Eugene Oregon. We muddle along quite well without him especially since there is less car juggling when he is gone. (We still only have 1 car).
Natalie and Krista have settled into school and continue to be the wonderful beautiful people that they are.
Richard had almost got his papers in for his mission. Only the Stake Pres. interview left. We thought maybe we would take a poll and let everyone submit their guesses as to where they might send the boy. I'm thinking Quebec because he still needs to make-up for the French class he didn't do so well at in High School. Any other guesses?
