Hart Happenings

Greetings all!
  This week was marked by some fun events.  Jack and Peter both had soccer games.  Jack's team is undefeated and Peter pulled out some signature moves during his game that had us rolling on the sidelines.
  We had a great Family Home Evening with Ruthie's family to kick the week off.  Dinner was delicious.  We helped make a dent in their potato harvest by feasting on dutch oven potatoes and then had a great lesson about making sure we are charged and powered up, courtesy of Peter.
  Ian has started Tavaci (his choir class) again and is thrilled to be preparing for his Christmas concert.
  Alex made a trip to D.I. (there is a reason I rarely take him shopping) and came home with an air hockey table.  We have already more that recouped the cost in good times and listening to the boys laugh and play together ALL.  DAY.  LONG.
  The frost came and hit all of our plants.  So the season is over for us!  It is a little earlier than usual but what do you do?
  The big news of the week: Alex came in with 3 eggs this morning!  They are the first we have gotten from our chickens.  It is very exciting!
  Ruth, Addy, Ian, and I went out Saturday afternoon to tour the houses of the Parade of Homes.  We had so much fun!  Ian and Addy were so excited about every element and Ruth and I came home inspired and full of ideas.  Watch out Alex and Garrett!  There was one that we called the playhouse that had a slide embedded in the walls that shot you out into a foam pit right next a floor to ceiling rock climbing wall and deluxe indoor playhouse.  The owners of this house had quite the imagination!  But we also came home pretty content with our own cozy, quirky houses.
  Can't wait for Conference!  Hope all is well with everyone!
