Hey everybody,
I'm not sure what happened last week, but I didn't get an email sent...so now I have to try to remember two weeks worth of happenings!
Melanie turned 6 on July 2nd...she's growing up oh so fast! We got to talk with her very briefly, just as they were heading out the door for a picnic.
Sunday, June 26th, there was a Stake RS meeting, all about visiting teaching. It was just what I needed! I have become kind of discouraged recently, and felt we needed to make some big changes but worried that what I had in mind wasn't okay. At the meeting I found out that the way we have always done things, isn't the way things HAVE to be done! So between now and September things will be changing. I ran the ideas past the Bishop today, and he agrees!
I was on call July 2, 3 and 4. It was pretty busy, nothing too difficult, but some issues that weren't able to be resolved on a holiday weekend.
Aimee and kids came on Thursday, June 30, and stayed until Saturday, July 2. Grandpa and Steve went out shooting on Friday. When the Mobley's left to head back home to Moscow, Naomi stayed with us, and it's been a great week. Then yesterday, July 9, Grandpa met Ben, Lynsey and Joseph in Rocks Springs. Then Grandpa and Joseph came back to our house today. Now we have 2 ten year olds with us for the next 2 or 3 weeks. Naomi, Joseph and Hannah will be taking Hunter Safety class from Grandpa several nights this week.
Also this week the refurbishing is happening on Gran's part of the house. She has ordered the carpet; Jeremy will be doing the painting, and Heath Dunn will be doing the drywall work. We've ordered a storage container to put her things in while the work is being done. Gran will stay in at Jocie's and Janie's house for a few days. The container gets here on Tuesday, and we hope to have the room empty by Wednesday night. Then the drywall work is to be Thursday and Friday. The painting on Saturday and Sunday (Jeremy prefers to do it on a weekend), and then the carpet will be put in hopefully the Monday or Tuesday of the next week, and then Gran can come back.
Also this week, we're trying to finish the Egin Ward float for the parade. I'll include a picture of what the High Priests and Elders Quorum have done so far. I'm really happy with how it's turning out.
The last picture is of another adventure we had last week. Naomi and I answered the door one afternoon and there was Makale Powell who lives down where Bradshaws live; she had her new baby in her arms and had a little boy by the hand. The little boy was not her own, but she had heard him crying in the wheat field behind their house. She brought him to us because she didn't know what else to do with him. I asked Naomi to go get Granpa, and he went into action. He contacted dispatch, gave him his description, in case someone called about him. He took a picture of him, and then he and one of his officers started going around the neighborhood asking about him. Naomi stayed and helped me take care of him. We got him a drink, which he drained, and then rocked him and read books to him. He quit crying and was soon asleep. In just a bit his mother came to get him. They were visiting a family on the other side of the block and had thought he was playing with the older kids. He was missing for about an hour all together. So glad it turned out well.
Love to you all. I hope you have a wonderful week. We know that you are all super busy too, but we'd love to hear your news any time!
