October was a very busy month for our family.  We had a calf born on October 13th--Jim Bob-named by Ethan--it is his calf--in honor of my Dad--Bob.  It was born on my dad's birthday.
For a few days we had a journalism student from the Mountain Workshop hanging out with our family journaling our lives.  It was fun to have an outside perspective on how we live.   She wrote a story for the workshop.  You can access this story be copying this and placing it in your address bar.

I hope that works.  I am still learning how this blogging thing works.

Then of course we had Halloween and visits from family and just life in general to deal with, but I really do love my life.
I have officially become a substitute teacher and have worked a few days.  It makes me ever so grateful to come home in the evening to my beautiful happy place, with my family that I love.
