Just another week

Andy signing as a Doctor for the first time

Not a lot of happenings a couple of weeks ago, so I chose not to write a letter last week.  Andy did sign his acceptance letter to fulfill his residency in Augusta, Ga. and I had my first Ward Conference as YW President.  I spoke along with the 1st and 2nd counselor's to the Stake President and the YM president.  Afterwards, my presidency had a training session with the YW leaders of that ward.  It's humbling to try and train YW leaders who have undoubtedly had a lot more experience than I have, but it went well.
The highlight of last week was attending "A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder" at the Hale Center Theater.  We usually buy 4 tickets so we can take friends.  This time we took a couple that we knew when we bought our first home in Kearns.  We have seen them maybe 5 times in 30 years, but we always enjoy each other's company.  They live in West Valley, so we figured they were close to the theater.  We had a great time catching up.  The play was fabulous (I've wanted to see it since I first started hearing the music from the  play and I LOVED it!).

Last week we started having FHE with our kids and their families--one family at a time.  We started off with Adrienne and AJ because they will probably be moving next month so we wanted to catch them at a good time.  We showed a bible video and discussed it.  It seems our grandchildren were listening in church and at home because they said they learned this stuff already.  Roy and I will have to get more creative with our lessons.  This week we had Nick's family.

Avie is SO happy.

Of course, I forgot to take pictures from our previous FHE with the Green's--Next time!

Nick also had these cute pictures from making a snow fort earlier in the day on Monday (He had Martin Luther King Day off).

Inside the Fort.  I asked if it was cold and Ori said, "Yes...Not really."

Even Avie got in on the fun.

 Effie said the family night prayer with my help.  When I said, "and bless my cousins," she stopped praying, looked at me and asked, "Where are my cousins?"  It's fun that all my grand children love being with their cousins.

We took some friends from our Bountiful ward to "Lend me a Tenor" at the Centerpoint Legacy Theater. Another play I hadn't seen before.  It was funny and we had fun with our guests.

Friday and Saturday Roy ditched me and went to the Klondike.  He has been on the council for the last 2 years.  I guess he may be off the hook next year as scouts will no longer be connected with the Young Men's program.  I guess it depends on whether or not he wants to stay involved with BSA.

Caitlyn came down from Logan again to keep me company while Roy was gone (not really, she had a date).  Adrienne and AJ dropped by on Sunday to say hi to Cait, and Gunnar and Oli finagled a dinner invitation, so they stayed to hang out for a few hours.

The 2nd week of ward conferences also went well.  It's interesting because everyone does basically the same talk for 6 weeks, but we get to hear different things from each bishop.

More than dinner, Gunnar really wanted to sew.
