My youngest brother Peter came home from the Canada Edmonton Mission the middle of October and I was able to driver over to Rexburg with the kids and surprise him at the airport and spend the weekend. We had a lot of fun and it sure was grand to see Pete again! We missed him, except Tommy was meeting him for the first time as Tommy was born a few months after Peter left.

Kids are so silly. Yes, Mary. This includes you. 🙂

Tommy getting ready to pull the flag down. Part of the reason I didn’t get as much footage of this event as hoped for. Sweet busy boy.

So long, Grandma and Grandpa Pieper and horsies. Tried to get a video of Tommy feeding the horses hay, but my battery was frozen at the time so it didn’t really work out, but he still talks about it. Somehow I didn’t get any footage of Coyote or Maumeaow, my family’s new exchange student from Thailand. Jenny and Matthew because fast friends with Maumeaow and Jenny has even become her penpal. Can’t wait to see you all again!
