I just got done re-reading all of my past posts on this blog! What a blast. It is so fun to have the memories documented. It has inspired me to try to start blogging better again. I used to be so good at it but have slacked as of late.
First of all, I am so excited that Thanksgiving is coming up. My parents are planning on driving here and spending Thanksgiving at my house! This will be the first time that I attempt a Thanksgiving dinner and I am having fun with the planning and preparation. Been recording a bunch of Food Network shows on Thanksgiving meals. I will let you know how it goes.... I think trying new things is so fun.
And coming up in Dec. the kids and I are taking off to fly to Boston for a week. We are staying with a friend that I met while I was in Sweden. I am so excited to see her again after 6 years!!!! And to meet her brand new baby girl. I was originally nervous about the flight alone with 2 babies. But, I decided I would rather try and have it be horrible than not try. So, we will see!
Just so you know, I sure love my kiddos. They are both growing and changing so much. Quincey is still really into Spiderman and pretending that other people are his enemies. He often will just randomly yell, "We're not so different!" (pretty sure that he got that from the green goblin Spider man movie.) And our little miss Maiya is really not so little anymore! She is walking everywhere (she started walking about a week before Halloween), and has just really taken off! She also says, "YUCK!" Every time she has a dirty diaper. She also throws it away all by herself, and without me asking! What an angel. She also says yes, no, mama, dada, this, that, and knows a few signs as well.
They both nap for a couple of hours during the day, and sleep so well at night. I am sure spoiled right now. :)
Also, about a month and 1/2 ago Geren was called as the Bishop in our Ward. We already feel many blessings from this. It has been a change for sure, keeps us on our toes. At first it was really hard for Q to see daddy up on the stand but not able to sit with him, but he is getting used to it now. And thanks to the activity bag from his Grandma, and to many big helpers, he keeps himself pretty entertained, and I've actually been able to catch some talks!!
Okay! let's hope I keep this up! I still need to talk about my thoughts and feelings with So you think you can dance! Stay tuned for that!

Oh my goodness! bishop! he's so young it seems like,.. wow. Your life is busy I'm sure. Love the little milestones the two cuties are hitting. Q cracks me up! "we're not so different!" hahaha.
Good to hear that everyone is sleeping well! That's quite a feat even for a mom of one. And bishop???? Whew! We wish you well during this busy time in your life!!
Thanks so much guys. Yeah, Geren is young (27 yrs.) Busy-ness is happiness though, right!? And I forgot to mention that we are speaking in Stake Conference this weekend!
Holy cow, Megan! How old are you? In your twenties I'm assuming...and already a bishops wife? That must have been quite the shock, but I'm sure Geren will do great. When my Dad was the bishop our family received so many blessings, and I'm sure you will have some amazing and trying experiences. Good luck with everything and keep the posts coming!
seriously! that's my age,. I don't feel old enough to be a bishop,... I guess Dan could be if he was called,...but I'd expect he'd get called into a bishopric most likely first if that was going to happen as a counselor before getting moved into the bishop position.
I am 28 (the older and wiser one in my family:) But honestly we both felt very prepared by the Spirit. We actually knew it was coming. Which I am so thankful for, otherwise it would have been a big shock!
Holy crud! Bishop! That is tense! I liked your post! I hope you have a good flight to Boston. It seems like you were blessed with well-behaved kids!
WOW, I know everyone else is saying the same thing but: BISHOP?! That's quite the big step in life! Glad to hear you were prepared for it & seem to be handling it very well! :) Great post, catching up. Hope you have a fun trip to Boston!!
I hope you're back. I've missed you. See you soon!
Isn't that about the age that Pres. Monson was a bishop? I'm just saying...
Also, I love to hear that other kids pick up lines from super hero movies. The boys run around the house yelling things like, "run for your lives!" It's pretty entertaining.
And we're flying to Boston in December, too! It's awesome. And cold.
WHAT!? Wow, that's intense. Good luck to the new bishop!
Hope your Thanksgiving meal goes well! You're a great cook, so I know you'll have yummy food for your family. :) And wow, hope you are enjoying being a bishop's wife! Geren is a great guy (with a great wife to support him). I told John about Geren and he was speechless (probably thinking that a guy his age was bishop...kinda scary). Good luck with everything and have fun in Boston! :)
