HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
















So this year we got to have Paige and Kaden for Halloween! It’s the first time for us to be with them on Halloween! Paige was a "stitch witch" Kaden was a scary skeleton with a bloody, bony chest that pumped blood. They wore their costumes to school, and then we did the trunk or treat at the church, and dressed up the Hummer, and passed out candy to a bunch of people who had no idea who the new scary family was! Since we don’t go to church, they haven’t seen us before, so I got this funny vision in my head of all of us being the "strange family" like the Munsters or the Addams family...there were the Kids, Me, Donovan and Barb, all dressed scary, with this mysterious Hummer that was decorated "over the top" for this little function...we were a great photo op for a lot of people though... we had a great time and then went to Pizza Factory to eat, and then home to watch Sleepy Hollow....fun time!

Grandma Eastman


On October 31st , Grandma Eastman passed away. We were fortunate to have gone to Canada and see her in summer of 07. We took Paige and Kaden, and met other family members there to spend a few wonderful days at the Eastman Ranch, where Donovan spent many of his summers while growing up. It was my privledge for me to meet her for the first time, and I enjoyed the conversation and memories everyone was sharing about their life with Grandma Eastman. (It was said many times that Donovan was her favorite!) She lived a wonderful life, dedicted to her faith and her family. We will all miss her, she lives in our hearts forever. Thank you Grandma Eastman for being the inspiration you have been to all that meet you.
