Much needed update

I have been quite busy this last week, which is why I haven't updated the blog. Wednesday was suppose to be pack meeting and that turned into a leaders meeting, Thursday was a stake aux training, Friday we had a teacher apprec. night, and Saturday we had a quarterly activity. Sunday we had church and Matt left for Minnesota, Monday the kids and I went with Grandma Horn, Great Grandma Lich, Great Aunt Kate, and Aunt Kim to the outlets. We found some great deals and great gifts for Christmas. Tuesday night Matt got home from Minnesota. Today we are just lounging around. Tomorrow will be filled with LOTS of food and fun. Friday Matt and I are celebrating our 5 year anniversary. Not quite sure what we are doing yet to celebrate.
Next week I am hoping to add pictures when I'm not feeling so busy. I took Benson to the dr yesterday because his cough was coming back. Luckily it's just a cold and not croup. He's weighing a healthy 17.08 lbs. He's crawling everywhere, starting to pull up to things, and loves it when Al plays with him. He gets upset when he isn't included in every meal (when he's awake). He prefers to eat whatever we're eating and not his puffs or cheerios. Ally is doing great in swim lessons and has improved a lot already. Her teacher said she's pretty much floating by herself now, she just needs to work on trusting her teacher. She can do elem. backstroke and freestyle.
So we've just been keeping busy and getting ready for the holidays. I don't have anymore activities for church for the remainder of the year so that's a huge relief. Ally is getting excited about Christmas and we're trying hard to focus on the reason we celebrate. She's kind of gotten sucked into the present thing already. Oh and she knows how to write her name.
Happy Thanksgiving,
Love the Horn Family
