Smithfield Scoop

 We have enjoyed perusing the blog this evening! What wonderful photos and recaps of what is going on in your lives! The pictures are especially fun. Thanks for taking time to post and publish your goings-on and the proof of it in the day to day snapshots. Hopefully Dad will get some of his great, daily photos posted soon. Problem is, which ones to choose. He's coming up on 365 consecutive days of photo taking - and has several photos of each day that he has to choose from...

Our recap for the past few weeks:

- We got new carpet upstairs and we love it! Some of you have seen and walked on it. So nice! 

- Had a few visitors - Sarah Belliston (Nate and Aimee's daughter) and her boyfriend came for a couple of nights. Lauren and her children were here for a couple of nights and days. Mama Hart and her three boys for a couple of hours. And looking forward to many more of you coming in a week or so!! CAN'T WAIT!!

- Helped Mannings with some "getting ready to start an addition to their house" projects, like cutting down the big pine tree, leveling the chicken run (chickens have been moved) so that the shed can be moved to where the chickens used to be, cleaning out the shed, and spending time at their ward chili cookoff and trunk or treat. Very fun! Mostly fun because my main responsibility was keeping Jane and Gus happy and out of the way :)

- Exercising (biking, walking, pickleball) for our Goal-it effort. It's always so nice to have to account for what we say we'd like to do!

- Dad spends a lot of time at the temple. He has two sealing shifts each week and then recently he has substituted for several sealers, as well as a friend who is an ordinance worker, and he attended an endowment session, since he was already there! It's a good place to be.

None of that sounds extremely exciting, I suppose, but it is thrilling for us to be with family whenever we can, and we love to be at the temple.

We do love you all and appreciate the blog posts.
