Hello to all my Valentines!
Late night last night, so I'm just now sending out the weekly email! We went to dinner at Jennifer's and Sterling's and got home late. We had Uncle John and Aunt Annie for the weekend. They got here Saturday evening and left this morning. You may see some pictures of the get together on facebook. Jacquie's and Garrett's little guy, Will, is a very much photographed little boy, and what a cutie!
Three days until Naomi's 10th birthday! Oh, my goodness, that's just so neat. Have a happy day, sweet girl!
I got a message on facebook yesterday, from Gregg Lundgren, that his wife Helen had passed away yesterday morning. I messaged back and asked if it had been unexpected; he just said "her heart finally wore out." So I don't know for sure what happened. I think it must not have been expected, because Kim and Sean were not there, but were on their way by yesterday afternoon. Kim teaches school in Utah; I don't know what Sean is doing. Helen made Aimee's and James's wedding cake. She was Bradley's daycare for several years. She was my visiting teaching companion in Northglenn Ward. Their daughter, Kim, is a friend of Heidi's, and their son, Sean, was Dixie's age. She was a wonderful lady.
A few weeks ago, one day when I was at Tony and Carol Stevens house getting eggs, she was telling me about some problems that their youngest daughter, Toni Kay, was having. She lives in Aurora or Parker...not sure. When Tony and Carol moved into our Ward in Egin, many years ago, they were somewhat active in the church, but soon fell away. But our kids were friends with their kids, through scouting, and school, etc... Their kids are, David, Stacy, Eric, Stephanie, and Toni Kay.
Anyhow, that day when Carol was talking about Toni Kay's problems, I had the thought that I should offer to put her name in the Temple, but hesitated because they are no longer members. But I said it anyway, and she threw her arms around me and thanked me. It really seemed to mean a lot to her.
I haven't heard how things have turned out with Toni Kay; her mother has been in Denver helping with the kids, and just got back. But yesterday, in Relief Society, there was a visitor, and I asked her to introduce herself. It was Stacy, the oldest daughter. She introduced herself to me by saying, "I was a friend of Aimee's years ago." Well anyway, it was so nice to see her, and to know that she is active in the church. Aimee, I got her contact info, it you'd like it: Stacy Laing
208-598-4547
stacylaing@gmail.com She has 6 children too! Her oldest is 16, and her youngest is 1.
David lives in the Denver area, Stacy is in Mt. Home, Eric and Stephanie are in the Boise area, and Toni Kay is in the Denver area.
Dixie, and Zach, we're all happy that you found a buyer for your house in Elko. Please keep us posted on all your plans.
Grandpa got his music box on Tuesday, and they both enjoy it very much. You'll have to have him show it to you next time you visit. Nothing big going on around here...except we've had a few moose move into the neighborhood again. The snow is sinking down, but we still have plenty.
Dad leaves Friday for D.C., and then I leave Sunday evening for Minneapolis. We'll both be home on the 28th.
Love to you all. Have a wonderful week. Mom/Johanna/Nana
