christmas memories

We had a fun Christmas trip to Oregon to visit David's brother. When we came back to Utah, there was snow, snow, snow! Here are some pictures of our Christmas vacation.

I knit this hat for Baylie.

Baylie and Kristin raked leaves (actually, Kristin raked and Baylie played in the piles).

Kristin never cared too much for Halloween, but David is crazy about it. Now that we have Baylie, Halloween is a lot more fun for all of us. Baylie wore an Indian costume that Kristin wore when she was little. Kristin and David went as Indians. Here are some pictures of our Halloween fun.

david's take on kristin

Salzburg, Austria

Kristin is truly the greatest woman I know. She is thoughtful and considerate, kind and sweet, friendly and courteous, beautiful in mind, body and spirit. She sacrifices so much for the good of others. When she is given a baby to hold or watch over, I am impressed with how she lights up with joy. She understands people and goes out of her way to make them happy.

What I find most pleasing is her company and friendship. When she's around, I'm always as close to her as I can be, and have been accused of accidentally following her through the house.
