Jenn was honestly surprised when she opened the door and saw her sisters!
Scott treated us to some delicious, gourmet s'mores! Yum!
We thoroughly enjoyed our time the Flakes. We walked and talked and ate and organized and worked out and talked some more. Scott and Jenn got some parenting ideas from the experts, Ruth and Elise. It couldn't have been any better weather. It was absolutely wonderful to be together. Camille drove over from New Mexico to be at the shower and Becca stayed the whole weekend with us, so Jenn had a couple of Belliston and Larsen aunts there to help balance all of the Flakes :) (who are really great folks, by the way) Ruth and I concluded that when the babies are blessed, all of the men in the congregation will stand in the circle, since Scott is related to nearly everyone in the ward! Ruth's solution is to invite half of them to help bless baby brother and the other half to bless baby sister!
Besides traveling to Arizona, we've worked hard in the yard and the garden is looking really nice. The potatoes are nearly growing out of the grow box and the tomatoes are getting big, too. We didn't lose any plants in the freeze that occurred while I was gone to Arizona (unlike the Idaho family memebers…). Dad had a neighbor help fix our sprinkler system and that is working nicely in the now very warm weather.
Dad and I went to Jamie's house the other day to help her get some packing done. We will go again this week and help finish up and get the last of the cleaning done before Matt gets back from Missouri and loads the truck to move the family there. We will miss them. Wish we could have spent more time with them while they were closer...
We enjoyed visits from Thomas and Becca earlier in the month. It is always so nice to have people come and fill up the downstairs for a while.
We are enjoying teaching Primary - 5 and 6 year olds. Very fun. There are 9 on the roll. Some come each week, some come sometimes, others don't come. We have some work to do! Dad took charge when I was gone and did great. We teach the first 2 weeks of the month, then get to one week of Sunday School and one of RS/Elder's Quorum. Nice arrangement.
There is one more baby due in about a week and after that I will head back down to Snowflake to await a sweet arrival. It seems that the time has flown by. Jenn may not think so, with her puffy feet and legs! It won't be long before we meet these little people.
Thanks to everyone for such kind and thoughtful calls and gifts for Dad. He had a delightful Father's Day, despite a terrible toothache that has bothered him for a while now. Hopefully the dentist will take care of that tomorrow.
Love you all! Have a wonderful week!
