The Gray Report

October has somehow come and gone very quickly. The month has been filled with LDS General Conference, walks, fall break, and lots of work. There is still a few days left till November but you know, the month is pretty much gone.   General Conference was inspiring and timely. We watched all the sessions on my laptop on our little apartment. Though I did go out to Priesthood session and Kas told me after she watched a little of it at home. We both agreed that GC always gives one the feeling that everything is going to be alright. And at the same time things always stick out that can be improved or changed in your life after watching it. Happy Times  Kas had the great idea of going to the Pawnee Bill Museum out in Pawnee, OK during my fall break. I had never heard of Pawnee Bill, but got to learn a bit about him as we toured his mansion and looked at some of his old stuff. Apparently he was friends and partners with Buffalo Bill for a while and had quite t...

Well, I (Kassie) got into a car accident last week. Luckily, no people were hurt, but our car sure was. The front passenger's side of the car banged up and the front wheel was ripped of the axle. So I won't have a car for a few weeks until it is fixed. We have been functioning with just Greg's car since the accident, which is a whole adventure in and of itself (It likes to play this unpredictable game of quitting when it stopped too long.). How do I feel about all of this? Not too happy at all. Even so, it certainly puts things into perspective. When the crash happened, I just remember feeling and hearing the crunch. Then I heard Hinckley screaming. The first thing I could think to do was make sure he was okay. His car seat was twisted and he was crying louder than I have ever heard. I undid his belts and pulled him out of the seat and just held him. As soon as I did that, he calmed down and seemed fine. I was so SO grateful that it didn't seem like there was any harm...

New Room We made the move, and Hinckley now has his own room. This has meant more sleep for Kassie (she doesn't wake up at any slight rustle of noise coming from his direction), and more sleep for Hinckley (he doesn't wake up when I get up in the morning to get ready for work). It is sort of sad and crazy that he is out of the room, and on his way to be a toddler. But that is what happens!  One of the first nights in H's own room. New Etsy Shop It was about 2 weeks ago that Kas began working towards opening her own Etsy shop . It has been fun to watch her make things and play around with the best way to get people to see her stuff. She is really creative and simply enjoys making things. We aren't looking to make a fortune or anything, but it would be nice to have a fun hobby, and have it pay for itself!  Check it out! If you know of anyone that is looking for baby products, come look at Kassie's site. More products will be coming.   ...
