For some time now Torrie's extended family has been blogging monthly. At the beginning of each month every family post a little tid bit about what they have been doing that month. We have found this to be quite enjoyable to read. With this in mind we thought we would post our post here as well in hopes it would catch on. If you feel inclined please let us know what you have been up to.
October 2008
This past month has settled down only slightly…. We made it safely here to New York. We had a great time with my mom for the first part of the month. By the tenth Grandma Woodward (Torrie's mom Tammy) had gone home and I was on my own in a new apartment, with two kids, and a husband with an actual work schedule. I am trying not to get overwhelmed and to take it a little at a time. We have enjoyed going to our new ward and getting to know the area. It’s been beautiful, there is nothing like a East Coast autumn, however, the leaves are fading and winter is on its way.

We also celebrated Levi’s 27th birthday, the girls and I made a dinner and cake and the girls helped Levi blow out the candles. After the candles were blown out they posed with Emma’s patented "smile". Emma had a blast being “Captain Hook” for Halloween, she scored big time bringing home a completely full pumpkin of candy. 
Levi has enjoyed the job thus far, although it’s been an adjustment for both of us since he can’t tell me anything about what he is doing, for all I know he leaves for work and meets up with other engineers to play video games all day… Charlotte has been growing and changes by the day.She is over 6 weeks old now and has an opinion all her own. 
It’s been so fun to see the sisters interact, Emma is quite the one woman show and charlotte is her captive audience. We should be able to report more fun stuff next month, since we have double the source of entertainment. We hope the holidays treat you all well and can’t wait to read your reports. Love,Levi and the girls
