Kate kept working at Kraves until they closed in October - fun times with Becca and the other employees but I think she was ready to be done. Working during school was hard.
We spent conference weekend in Provo with Natali catching a football game with Natali's friend Jessica and watching conference in the hotel room together with Fritz. It was a great weekend - loved seeing our girl.
On the way home from Utah on Sunday Emmy started having weird pain in her leg. Monday she showed me some bumps and complained of leg pain. Tuesday the rash was way worse and she was limping. It was just too weird so Wednesday I took her to urgent care. The doctor was shocked and told Emmy that she was the youngest patient she had personally diagnosed with shingles. I'm so grateful that we went to doc when we did because her pain continued to increase for a few days before the meds kicked in. Thank goodness for meds!
A week later I was volunteering at Mill Creek Library when they had a fire drill. During the drill we heard a loud sound - it sounded like a plane taking off continuously. The kids were quickly sent back into the building were we were placed in lockdown - no leaving the building. We learned that there was a gas leak less that two miles from the school; there was talk of evacuating. Kids were crying and starting to get worried. Parents were showing up at the school to pick up kids because our phones were getting alerts about the leak. I grabbed Lily and headed home only to learn that we couldn't get to our house because roads were closed so no one could get close to the leak. About that time Emmy texted asking me to pick her up because all her friends had left. So we grabbed Emmy and headed to Chick-fil-a. After a lovely lunch our road opened up and we returned home. What an adventure.
Spencer and his family came out in October and we had a fun week playing with them and spending time at Grandma's house before they headed south for the winter.
Of course these are the only pictures I took 🤦♀️.
While Spencer was here we had an annular eclipse which meant the moon went over the sun but was smaller than the sun so it left a ring around the moon. We weren't in the ideal path but close enough that we could see it. Kate came through with two pairs of eclipse glasses that she had saved from 2017 so we were able to watch it. For a while it was cloudy enough that you could actually look up and see it through the clouds. Super cool.
Thanksgiving was a solo affair so we invited Jessica to join us. Fritz and his sister, Kim, had come home with Natali so the table was full. I made 48 rolls at Lily request and they were gone by the time Natali headed home on Saturday.
On Friday night we went to the Boise Botanical Gardens to see the lights. We had fun sharing stories about the Old Penitentiary field trip and pretending that the gingerbread men were escaped convicts because they creeped Emmy out.
We had a great weekend playing games, eating good food, watching both kinds of football and just being together. Our Friday lunch with Wilfords and the accompanying soccer game were pretty epic as well.
