Left to Right; Top to bottom:
-Todd flew to Denver for a training. He was able to fly out from our local airport, so Justin and I got to watch him walk onto the plane, and then we watched it take off. Thankfully he came home the day before several tornadoes touched down in Denver!
-While Todd was gone, I got to take the kids to Stake Conference by myself. I took this picture as we were walking home.
-Tired boys!
- I have been quilting full-time this month. I had ten quilts to finish in just over three weeks. I leave the "tweens" in charge of Justin, and one time when I came in the house I found him wearing underwear, and a box. The next day, I found him wearing his shirt inside out and backwards. The look on his face is a good reminder that little kids need their mama! After this week I can relax...
- Todd's secretary gave us a gift card to a local specialty doughnut shop, and we finally used it to celebrate the last day of school. We had S'mores, Creamsicle, Blueberry, French Toast, and Lemonade doughnuts, among others.
- Caleb attended Computer Camp the week after school got out. It was a special class for 7th graders only. While there, he made a "scratch art" game for Justin, and then came home and made a few more computer games that Justin can play.
-The last picture is to prove to my Mom that I really do cut their hair every quarter or so, whether it needs it or not.
Here's a sneak peak of some of the quilting I've been doing. The quilts will be published, so I can't show much. Justin loves the fact that Spiderman keeps sending me quilts.
We are slowly getting our basement finished. We had a flood around Thanksgiving time. We decided to do the work ourselves so we could save some money and finally replace our false ceilings. Had we known that after the holidays we'd have two miscarriages back to back, and then company for 5 weekends in a row, we probably would have just paid someone to do it. It's taking forever! Todd finished the texturing in Caleb's room yesterday, and we'll paint tomorrow (after I quilt). Then we'll move on to the hallway, bathroom, and Dillon's room.
Oh, and speaking of Todd, he is going to be an adjunct professor this fall, teaching two Family Relations classes. It will give him a bit of a break from doing therapy all day every day, but still allow him to work in his private practice.
Other things that happened, that I don't have pictures for:
-I was released from being a Webelos leader. I still teach RS once a month, and I'm still on the funeral committee.
-We sold our travel trailer. It tugged at our heartstrings, but after sitting in Cache Valley last winter (without being winterized) it needed a new floor (linoleum cracked), and possibly had some plumbing problems. We knew we wouldn't have time or money to use it this year, so when a man showed up at our door offering to pay cash and take it "as is", we made the quick decision to sell.
-Caleb won an award at school for being a "hero" and holding the door open for his orchestra class every day. He got a certificate and a t-shirt, but I failed to get a picture.
