Thanksgiving in San Anselmo (near San Fran)

Mere talking with grandparents and window shopping (Saki's parent's live right by downtown). 
    
Mere got into the fridge and started eating a tomato. 
    

San Diego Temple :)


As you can see below Mere has become very attached to her "Bearsie" so I try to let her have it just when she sleeps or is in a new situations so she can see something familiar.





My dad came to visit for the weekend (tail end of a business trip), and had fun taking Mere to the park while Saki and I went to the temple. Then Saki and my dad attended the temple with the youth of our ward and Mere and I napped and did a little shopping at a nice health food store they have in San Diego and the distribution center (church things). It was so great to attend the temple, we are setting a goal to go once a month now, it was so close in Vernal (2 1/2 hrs for us now). . .

I am so grateful to have temples and be able to be sealed to Saki and my family and children for time and all eternity! I can't imagine being married for this life only, to die and not have my family and children bound eternally!

Early Birthday Gift

Mere got an early birthday gift from her mom and dad-only because her mom couldn't resist and wanted to play herself--(non-toxic) ball pit balls to go into her pool. It'd be fun even deeper, but they get pricey with shipping and all :(



Here's Mere with her dad and below you can she she is enjoying exploring and climbing onto things-this shelf isn't very high, but there's a picnic basket she keeps trying to climb onto and she doesn't realize she can fall right off.

We have sod!

It's getting chilly here in the evenings. . . windy too, fun!
Our new sod-now Meresiana can play without eating dirt.

We're an apple computer family : )

Halloween

  

   

Meresiana was a fairy and Saki and I were Reese's :) We went to the ward trunk-or-treat and had dinner then, as I wanted to be more healthy I handed out glow in the dark trinkets and bracelets and playdough (all for $4 at the dollar tree) and was reminded that most kids really just want candy :( so I got some candy-a small bag for anyone that might come by our apt Friday and NO trick-or-treaters! I was so sad, I love seeing the costumes. . . though Saki and Meresiana got my hopes up by knocking after their walk and saying trick or treat. . . I was excited for a minute :( 

Here's a new video of Meresiana "walking"-she gets nervous if you just hold one hand, but she can still step. . . and some old videos of us at the beach in San Diego with Robert and Camille in July. 

Well-the videos won't load-I'll keep trying, sorry!!!
