Nice to start the week with an email from K in Ukraine. We were able to send them back and forth in a few minutes time. He sent a photo of his Companion and their apartment. He is doing great seems happy and eating eggs,yogurt,bread and spaghetti. Learned to get filtered water. One bottle at the airport cost $7... Wow.

N getting over the bug he got Monday...Tamaflu cut the fever in just a couple of days. Stayed home from school Tues. and Wed.

C loving school and so glad the Boiling bucket is full and hot, been in the last 2 nights.

Cranked up the heater yesterday and T, said eww...what is that smell. Looking forward to Conference Weekend.

Changes are coming everywhere.....

D-Testing with UL at work keeps his stress level too hight. Under the weather too...
S-Was pretty emotional at the end of K last live email from the MTC. Now she has to think 2weeks -2 months in advance for him. Lost her voice... but hopes to get it back soon.
T-Had Strep last week.... doing better. Busy in School and with K . What a pair.
K- getting so excited to leave for Ukraine. Next Tues. 20 hrs in a plane should be interesting. He is ready for the next chapter in this adventure.
N- Homecoming week at WHS. Mid-terms and PTC. Got his WEBER hoodie...Now what?
C-Making new friends. A week off from Piano.Getting Faith in God done, will graduate from Primary in 3 weeks.
Garden slowing down. Peach Pie filling was a group effort. Stream in ditch is back again. Cleaned the Garages and getting the Boiling Bucket ready to fill.

Fall is in the air

Happy Fall y'all

What a nice Labor Day Holiday. We spent a night at the cabin, and then spent the day in Wellsville. I decided why the "hearing loss" is so high in Wellsville.....That Parade and Shambattle definitely keep those selling hearing aides in business. Emailed with K for a while on Tuesday. He sounds great. The city finally stopped the stream flowing down the ditch in front of our house. The tapes from K are fun to listen to. We are waiting for the next one. C and N keep us busy running here and there and are loving school. T on the other hand, is just biding her time and anticipating Spring graduation.

2nd Week of School

Well, things are going faster already. Life gets busy when the kids go back to school.

D made it through the 1/2 Marathon like a champ. He and K were done in under 2 hrs. Work keeps him busy, so busy he doesn't have time to run at lunch.

S is so frustrated with Google/Gmail. I was so excited to talk to K, but unable because the server is messed up. So don't plan on any responses from my email for a while. I have opened a new one on live.com

T will close up the pool this weekend. School is just a task to complete but she won't be driving to SLC as much. She will spend more time at McKay in Ogden.

K is doing great. Only about 3 more weeks in the MTC. Then the adventure of Ukraine will be right there for him. His letters are so positive, he is loving it.

N loves school. Thinks he can go to lunch whenever he is hungry....They obviously are not keeping track of him. He is doing some Life skills/Job skill training at Kirts, the local Drive Inn. I bet he loves that....if they can keep him from the french fries....

C back at gym and very sore....She is doing Valet Parking for he job in 6th grade. Early morning Piano is very difficult for her.

Days are getting shorter, the garden is hard to keep up with. Life is grand. Enjoy the moment.

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!

Wow, kids back in school. What am I to do?

We had a wonderful week at Ed. Week. Great learning and nice to get away. Berries are on...

T held down the FORT here at home with help from K. She did some teaching in Logan and I bet was relieved to see us come home on Friday. She is going to SLC this week for school. I think

K last email was not live, since we were in Provo and the internet was not working. He is doing well...learning the Russian Language and lovin' the life at the MTC. Letter came on Thurs. with Tons of Pictures. He looks awesome. What a great Guy.

N is so excited and becoming more independent and doing things for himself. He got a FAT CATS shirt at my favorite store. New glasses too. We found the old ones after placing the order and paying for the new ones. WHS in the 10th Grade..Wow.

C is 6th grade at NOE. We can see her class from our front porch. Nice new school. She will love it. Great help to N. She went fishing with K and N and had all kinds of fun while D and S were gone. Growing up so fast.

D is back to work... S is going to find something to keep her busy. She finish the quilt, so now what?

Temple dedication was wonderful. Great messages. We have so much to be thankful for.
