Anita, Everett and I all went to Croatia for Anka's Funeral. Everett got to hang out with his older twin cousins. I tried to get an all cousin pic (minus Ella and Hanna) but the kids didn't quite cooperate. I only got a few family pics. These are the most fitting as I took them in Anka's kitchen where the majority of my Croatia visits were spent. Anka took great care of her family and all those that came to visit her. She always welcomed us to her kitchen and kept us well fed. It will always be my place of 
Grandma helped out coming to Or to take care of Ella and Hanna. Now that Grandma is gone Ella wants to go home to Abq to see her Grandma. We also changed our moving plans for what feels like the 100th time. We will move to Phoenix AZ to continue my training due to the latest Israel Fab construction delay. The current plan is to leave Portland Dec 15th and visit NM for Christmas and New Years. First of the year move to AZ for about 3 months and then to Israel. That's the plan till the plan changes. We think we are very lucky to move to Phoenix, it was a simple choice when you look at the Portland winter around the corner.
We did Halloween at Hammer Head Shark J's house. Hanna showed some of her character and was not a greedy child. Once she had a few pieces of candy she lost interest in getting more and only wanted to eat what she had. Ella, who hid under the table at Easter to eat all her candy, showed amazing self restraint and would only eat a few pieces of candy per day after Halloween. Her candy would have lasted a month if mom and dad had the same amount of self restraint.
Here the girls wait patiently for daddy to put down the camera and start making pancakes. Everett just hangs out.
