Executive Office of Ken Woodward
September was a quiet month. Joshua and Zachari are well into the school routine, with the usual homework and school lunches that I prepare seven days a week. I have prepared the same lunch for them every day for at least the past three years, even to the direction that I cut their sandwich. One insists on a straight cut, the other insists on a diagonal. They abhor any change in routine in their lives.
I’ve been worried whether Aaron closed the deal on his house, and whether the real estate “el crasho” has forced him to relocate east of I-5. Come to think about it, being the cheapo that he is, he is probably part of the problem. But then I don’t know much about ARM mortgages and Dow Jones Average. Until recently I thought Fanny Mae was one of Aaron’s Fresno girl friends of the past.
I appreciated the visit of Kevin and Kristy, who fortunately were here at the same time. And especially having Todd and Sarah bring the new great granddaughter over to the house so I could see her. I was so impressed that I have made a picture of her the wallpaper on my computer. Take a look.

Anyone heard from Carol in the last several weeks?
With the arrival of the fall season, I’m beginning to get excited about the upcoming holiday dinners that has always been such an important part of my life. If any of you want to join me at Boston Market for Thanksgiving dinner we’ll need to get our reservations in early. Love, Dad

Not much to report. School is going well for Maja. Annika is taking advantage of her big sister being gone during the day by destroying all of Maja's toys. Ava sleeps pretty good during the night. She wakes up only a couple of times to feed. We blessed Ava last Sunday. Maja received an award at school. "citizenship" apparently, she is a good kid. Who knew?

WHAT A CRAZY MONTH!!! I have never been so busy in my life. When it rains it pours! Levi was scheduled to defend his thesis on September 17th, two weeks before we had a flight scheduled to move us to NY. I was scheduled to have a c-section on the 23rd just in case the baby didn't come on her own. In trying to have a blessing that a good portion of our families could possibly attend, we decided to have Charlotte blessed on September 28th, a mere two days before our flight and 5 days after my scheduled c-section. Thinking that I was absolutely crazy trying to get all that done in one week, I begged the doctors to c-section me a week earlier, on September 17th. Yes, that's right our sweet Charlotte came on the day Levi was scheduled to defend his thesis. Luckily good ol' BYU was okay with Levi re-scheduling and he has successfully defended. I had had a c-section with Emma and Charlotte was not descending on her own so the c-section was written in the stars. Everything went really well, the extra week that I was given to recover has made all the difference. And now when I want to have kids I get to schedule them, no doctor is going to allow me to have a normal delivery after two c-sections, oh well, longer recovery time. But that's enough about me, Charlotte is such a sweet baby! She is eating pretty well and seems to go pretty well with the crazy flow of our family. My mom has been a huge help and it was a blast to have her and Arianna visit before we moved. The move has gone pretty well and we are enjoying our first few days on the east coast. The best part about this month, besides the healthy baby, is how incredible Emma is handling all the changes around her. She is so sweet and gentle and is being so obedient. I just love our sweet girls. I hope to have just fun stories to report and not too much drama, but we shall see….. Until next month.
Love

Is it true, has September come and gone already? It appears it has and with very little to show for it at the McClintocks.
For those who would know her, Evelyn Green passed away peacefully on Saturday Sept 20th. She was in good health until about 10 months ago when congestive heart failure became apparent. One of her most joyful times during the past 10 months was getting a portable oxygen tank so that she could come to Sacrament meeting. (Never, never take anything for granted.) I guess Corene has her choir pal back with her now.
Uncle Bob has been and will be keeping pace with the Sacramento City Community College Panthers during football season. Uncle Bob takes pictures during their games and then posts them up on smugmug.com. He has several galleries and lots of great pictures. (http://creativ-eservices.smugmug.com/)
Susan is participating in the Carmichael Stake Fall Concert. Grandma Anna continues writing her life story. And that is pretty much it.
We include pictures taken at the Christiansen/Bos reception. The Bos children are just as enthusiastic as their dad about jam sessions. Unfortunately the photographer didn't anticipate the impromtu Bos concert and didn't get any pictures of the Bos family "jammin". It would have made quite a shot.

We have had a busy month. School always keeps me very busy. I have an interesting class this year. As usual, I have some very needy students. This class will keep me on my toes!! Mel is still building houses, although it has slowed down some. The economic news doesn't look very good. I guess the prophet has been warning us for quite a while. Hopefully, we have been paying attention.
Mel and I went to Detroit for a convention on September 12. We flew out of L.A.X. on September 11. (911) I have never seen so many police in one area. They were very very visible. Detroit was an interesting place. You can say that you would not see any foreign cars there. Where we were staying, they had futuristic concept cars. VERY INTERESTING. The hotel (Marriotts) was enormous. We were on the 56th floor. This place was awesome. It was totally self-contained. To get to the convention, we just took a (people mover) trolly/tram . This went all over the city, so we could go where ever we wanted to go.
Last Sunday we were in Los Angeles at little Ava Cannon's blessing. She had quite a group there to celebrate this special day. She just mainly slept through it. What a beautiful baby. We are so happy to add her to our family.
Cassie also was here last weekend to go to her 10 year class reunion. I will let her talk about that.
Hope everyone has a great month.

Well, this past month marked 120 days that I have been on the job with the Colorado Springs North Stake. This would suggest that either my probationary period is up, or the stake’s warranty has expired.
A good portion of September has been on the road for our family. Tammy and Arianna winged their way to Provo on September 17 just as baby Charlotte Haupt arrived on the scene. I paid a weekend visit to the Executive Office on Watt Avenue, just prior to spending 4 days in San Jose on legitimate business. I got a chance to meet newly arrived Kaitlyn Christiansen. After coming back to Colorado Springs for an overnight visit, I joined the rest of the family in Provo for Charlotte’s blessing on the 28th. It was wonderful to see family members who reside in Utah. Early morning on Monday the 29th, Arianna and I flew back to Colorado Springs to jump back into school and work. Tammy stayed with Levi, Torrie & family to escort them to upstate New York for about 10 days.
Well the Colorado Rockies closed out their baseball season pretty quietly this year. Not a great deal of fanfare. Oh well, March is just around the corner. For the past 42 years, Grandpa Woodward and I have enjoyed a friendly ice cream wager on the All-Star game held each July and on the World Series in October. He’s consistently supported the American League and I the National. Suffice it to say that unlike the 1970s, the past decade or so has not been my friend. But hope springs eternal, as I look forward to this next month’s World Series.
We love you,
