Wow!  It's been a whole month since I last posted!  Where did this last month go?  They do say time flies the older you get but I honestly didn't think it would go this fast. 
This past month we have been doing lots of fun stuff.  Since my last post....
*Clara had her 2 month check up - She is weighed 9lbs. 15 oz. (23%) and was 21.5 inches long (15%).  Dr. Sarah said that she looks like a healthy 2 month old. 
*We went to the pumpkin patch in Oakes with our friends Katie, Tucker, Carly & Griffin
*I went scrapbooking at the Catholic church here in Lisbon one weekend.  I came home only to feed Clara and went right back to work.  It worked perfectly.  I got lots done including a fun project that I'll show below.  It felt really good to get out of the house for a little while. 
*Jason & Hayden helped combine corn at the farm.
*My cousin Clare got married in Fargo on Oct. 29th.  We were able to see most of my family and had a lot of fun. 
*Halloween - we had a really cute Buzz Lightyear and Bumble bee
*Deer hunting at the Farm - Jason got his buck.

Sorry the pictures are all out of order....but I think you can figure out where they are from.    Some are from my phone so I just put them wherever they landed. 
 Here is a version of the project I worked on.  I adapted it to work for me but it's pretty much the same concept.  You make an index card for every day of the year and write the year on the left hand side.  You write a little note about what happened on that day and put it in the back of the box.  So if you do it every day and then once you have completed a year you will see what you did on each date.  It's sort of like a family journal but much simpler.  So I'm hoping to keep up with it.  I think it will be fun to look back at in a few years and see what we did.  I used a recipe box instead of the box shown in this photo.
