Today was General Conference and we were very excited tolearn that there will be temple built in Calgary!  Yeah for Calgary! Today was also the day that we were supposed to have our family picturestaken at 4pm and hopefully be done in time for Marc to make it to Priesthoodsession.  Well, it rained cats anddogs ALL DAY!  So, we had to cancelour pictures for another day but we did get our Halloween costumes today.

We weren't quite ready for it but two nights ago, Lincoln decided it was time to sleep in a big boy bed!  He's only 17 months.  I asked him to ready for bed(grab his blanket and teddy bear), he grabbed them and climbed up into the bottom bunk (Aden's bed).  I thought, okay, let's try this.  Well, he was on the floor in the morning but not from falling out because there was no crying-just from him getting out of bed and falling asleep on the floor.  But last night he stayed in his bed all night and also had his nap today and yesterday in bed without falling out or getting out of bed.  I had to go buy a safety rail for the top bunk and Aden headed up there last night.  He felt pretty big.  We thought it would free up some room in the boys' room but we had alot of storage on the top bunk and Lincoln was sleeping in a pack and play so really, it freed up no room by the time we moved all the tupperware bins but it's exciting to have him a bed.  It's also nice to have him a bed, no pacifier(got...
