Catch up

The first Sunday of every month, my siblings and cousins get together at our house for family dinner. The last sunday was extra special because it was not only conference sunday, but my Aunt and Uncle from Hawaii were here visiting. We missed Angelina and Carlo, they could not make it, but we hope to have them come next month.
In true Heinzen style, my dad's twin, Uncle Don, made some repairs to Mica and Matt's car.
The door handle broke off. He drilled a hole inside each end of the broken handle, stuck a nail with the head cut off inside and through both parts to help hold it together, super-glued it, then used my soldering iron to melt the plastic around the break, as well as melt some plastic spiral book binding, (the hardest scrap plastic I had), to reinforce the whole thing.

Yet another example of resourcefulness at it's best. I love my family, and I love that this part of my heritage rubbed off on me. (although I don't know if Bill appreciates it as much, since it results in me saving garbage, "just in case")
Sunday was also significant, because Josh lost his first tooth! (I use the term "lost" casually, since Bill pulled it and Josh was not too crazy about that)
The kids looking cute before church.

I thought this was so funny. I let the kids play with boxes when we get them, for a few days at least, before we throw them out. This was Jade's project.......

The weather has been beautiful lately. The leaves are just starting to change, and it snowed in the mountains this weekend. I wish I had a better camera, (maybe later), but this is the best I could get from our backyard.
