It's been a while since I've shared any news, so I'll do my best to consicely catch you up. We've had a great couple of weeks. Having Blake home is definitely a bonus, he was gone the last week of September and 3 weeks into October doing an away rotation in Texas. Luckily he loved it and it looks like a great prospect for residency. We'll cross our fingers. He interviews there December 10th. That is another thing we have been up to, WAITING for interviews. Whoa! that can be stressful, but we have received some responses and that is very encouraging!
We had a wonderful Halloween! Our ward had a halloween party on Halloween so that was our main event. We just trick-or-treated to a few homes on our street. The party was great and the girls had a great time. My friend Michelle planned it and she did an incredible job!! Kelsey was Sleeping Beauty and Mylee was a Giraffe, thanks to Blake's sister Dionne for lending the costume to us :) Here are some fun pictures of that event.
A couple of weeks ago we went to Boston to visit Blake's sister Dionne and her family. They just moved there and boy are we excited to have some family within driving distance. We've been loners out here for a while. It was such a great visit. They moved into a fixer-upper, so we lended our support in helping get some projects done around the house. We were able to get a lot accomplished and we were so glad to be of service. I wish we could have gotten more done for them. While we were in Boston we also had the opportunity to attend the Boston temple. Whoa!! So beautiful! It so great to go to the temple with my husband. We felt so renewed and at peace after we left there.
On that trip we also went downtown to do the Freedom Trail. It was so cool, both meanings intended! The sites were so amazing and it was hard to believe that we were walking in the areas where our country started, but man was it cold!! We were freezing! It was so cold we didn't end up walking the whole trail, but got to see a lot of really neat things.

Kelsey had a great time with her 5 boy cousins, as she refers to them as. She carved pumpkins with them and had all sorts of fun! She and Drew were little buds. They would find activity after activity and keep themselves busy all day. It was great! Kelsey got confused with all their names though. She is closest in age to Drew and therefore played with him the most. To the others she would refer to them as the bigger Drew or the smaller Drew. You don't blame her for trying to remember everyone's names. 
Here's the crew, minus Kade or the "smaller Drew" who is 18 months old. He and Mylee will be great buds one day! From left to right, Conner, Trey, Spencer, Kelsey, Drew.
Oh and I can't forget, Mylee took her first steps while we were there! It was so exciting. She is getting better and better at walking every day. She's so cautious, it's funny!
