Meeting Symone in UTAH

Kasi, Robert and Symone were going  to Utah from London so we had to meet them there because we still hadn't met Symone! Plus we got to see fall in Utah so that was a huge plus.

Lewis' first flight! He killed it. Actually all 3 kids were great.



We were there over Halloween and did all of the festivities. We had a circus theme with our family and it was sooo fun! Calvin + Mae loved trick or treating with Olivia and painting pumpkins. We also went to pumpkin nights at the fairgrounds.












my Halloween cake!




We spent a lot of time with family and playing in the fall leaves. The kids really liked Symone even though she was pretty shy towards them. She is so cute!




















We drove to St. George for the weekend. Highlights included meeting both Clara and Lucy, getting to be there for Lucy's baby blessing, going to the ABBA concert (which Calvin LOVED), and getting to see Doug and Mark who were in town for a wedding. 
CRAZY Mitchell cousins







As always we missed Dal. He has to miss out on so much! Bummer. Our flight home was delayed for FIVE HOURSS! It was terrible even though the kids were pretty good. We did hang out with the nicest people in the airport who helped me get all of my sleeping kids onto the plane. We got to our house at 4 am.

Lewis Dennis @ 6 months

At 6 months old, Lewis...
-Just barely stopped nursing. My milk dried up last week (which really through me for a loop after breastfeeding my other kids for over a year each). I was sad at first but we are liking bottles. It is fun that the other kids + Dal can feed him. Plus, he can hold it himself so that is nice.
-Laughed for the first time at Calvin!! He tickled him under his chin. It was around 4 months.
-He could roll over to his stomach much earlier than the other way around. This was a bummer for him because he didn't like being on his stomach.
-He crawls now!! It is still really slow but he can get around army crawling.The fist time he did it we were at Grandma Juanita's house.
-Doesn't sit up
-Likes the car but only the stroller sometimes
-Sleeps from 9pm-7am (still in our bed in the Dock-a-tot)
-Got his first fever at 5 months
-Took his first airplane ride (from Austin to SLC) and slept the whole time
-Feels pretty neutral about solids. He's had rice cereal and some table food but not much.
-Still super bald and super sweet.
