A VISIT FROM FAMILY !!!!!!

THIS DARLING FAMILY VISITED WITH US LAST WEEK.

 

 10 years between the baby and his brothers.  

 10 months between these brothers. 

Son - in - law 

Daughter.

Fun at Navy Pier.

(These boys are large 12 year olds.)

 

The Perfect Activity.

 

This little cutie ended up in the hospital

overnight for breathing treatments.

 

WHO IS AT OUR KITCHEN TABLE?

Such a happy picture - 7 of our darling grands

eating breakfast together at our

kitchen table. We pretended we

were in the bedroom listening

to them have fun, but we were actually being

grateful we were on our mission in Chicago -

best of two worlds.

300 DAYS.....

We have blogged our 100 and 200 days. 

We forgot to blog the 300th day. 

 It was when these sweet young men were visiting

in middle of November. 

As their mother noted,

'current missionaries and future missionaries'

 in this picture.

Their Dad is a past missionary.

OUR DAUGHTER'S MEN.......

 

Can't resist posting a pix of our daughter's men. 

There's ten years between darling baby and handsome sons.  Something for a father to be proud of,

and grandparents and in-laws to be very grateful for. 

Our daughter assures us this family is being blessed

by our missionary service.  So thankful.

STUCK IN WYOMING-OH DARN

We got as far as Douglas Wyoming to stay the night.

Von is checking weather, and we may be here longer

than we planned.  Major snow between Iowa

and Chicago.

For some reason (pictured below),

we don't feel too

bad about a day or two delay.

But hopefully, no more than that.

 

This morning in RS we had a great lesson taken

from the talk by President Uchtdorf (Oct. 2014):



Living the Gospel Joyful

 

If anyone needs a lift, or to feel better about

themselves read this talk.  Wonderful.

 



Last night we went on a walk to see

this Eagle nest and the two eagles that live

in it.  That would be the two dark dots, one in

the nest and the other out on a branch.
