Today, we had a church service project at Feed My Starving Children. We signed up for two 2-hour sessions and our ward needed to provide 180 people to work packing meals for starving children around the globe. (90 people in each session). Angela signed me, Sarah, and Kirstyn up for both sessions (9:00am-11:00am and 11:30am-1:30pm). […]
Today Ana went back to Spain. Kirstyn was especially sad. She really liked Ana and had a great time with her while Sarah and Brittany were at camp. It’s weird that it’s been an entire year since Carmen went back to Spain last summer. Time has really flown! We are glad that the Gaul family
Today Sarah and Brittany came home after having a great time at camp. They were exhausted, but couldn’t stop talking about the great experiences they had there. It looks like that they will be going to the same camp next year and are excited about it. Angela wants to go to camp with them next
This past Monday, Sarah and Brittany got up EARLY and took off to girls camp, and so far, are having a BLAST! Yesterday, I drove down to Camp Cary down in Lafayette, IN to join them for Bishop’s night and testimony meeting. Bishop and I got down there at about the same time and ate dinner

Today was a BIG day for Zachary… He finished registering and picked up his shoulder pads for football! He and I went over to St. Raphael school early to get in line to wait for registration. We underestimated the wait and should have gotten there 30 minutes earlier. When we arrived, the line was almost
Today, Brittany had a belated birthday party because we were out of town on her birthday. Just like she did in the past, she wanted to have her party at “Feed My Starving Children.” Feed My Starving Children is a non-profit Christian organization committed to feeding starving children. The approach is simple: children and adults
Today we got the DVD from Joyce Caywood of Benjamin’s photo shoot! The pictures turned out absolutely adorable! We were laughing histerically at some of the pics! Here is just a small sampling of the pictures that she took… We uploaded a bunch to my facebook site and also a photo site on Shutterfly
Today I got up really early and drove down to Bloomington/Normal, IL to pick up Sarah and Brittany and other kids from our ward from EFY. This is one of my favorite things to do becuase when I pick them up, they are SO happy, on a spiritual high, and I get to hear for
