Lucky for all of us, I have another brother who is on a mission and needs a monthly letter, with photos. For those of you wondering, Peter (not my youngest brother) is currently in the MTC and will be heading for the North Carolina, Charlotte Mission is just a few short weeks. We are very excited for him and know that he will make a wonderful missionary, as soon as he gets the language down.
For us, October was a month of soccer! We did get one game called for rain (and played one in the rain), but otherwise our days were filled with practices and games for both Daniel and Joshua. We sang "Happy Birthday!" to Nathan, who insisted the only thing he wanted was a cake with a rat on top. Dewain made a very cute little rat from a snickers bar, licorice and a tootsie roll, but Nathan's face made it obvious that what the boy meant was really the large, plastic rat we hid in the bottom of a package we mailed to Grandma Jorgensen. Nathan loved all of the sharks he got from Grandpa and has used his new Mack to continuously haul around his well-loved Lightning McQueen.
For Halloween, Gideon used one of our 10c costumes-(I will always have fond memories of half the women in the ward raiding the Halloween aisle as word of the 10c costume sale spread), Nathan dressed as "Superman to the Rescue!," Joshua was Pikachu, the faithful creature that is side kick to Ash Ketchum, the Pokemon trainer Daniel dressed as. We had a fun month, even if it started out with Dewain spending almost every spare moment being trained as or acting as the Scoutmaster.
