Arrangements was the name of the 750 piece puzzle that Monty gave Grace for Christmas.
Grace, Dad, Mom, Isabel, and Josie worked on it for a long time. Santa even helped to put together some edge pieces. Monty and Olivia helped by not wrecking it (too much). They finally finished it on Tuesday!
Dear Beth and Family-
ReplyDeleteI have never done this so hopefully you will get it. What a fun blog!! and what a beautiful family!
We would love to come back over for a summer or semester but Jared Ludlow said your semesters are different times then Provo's so they don't do the swap. I hope he is wrong.
We are planning to go to Isreal August 2011-August 2012. So If you wanted a house to come to Provo for a year your welcome to ours. The kitchen and bathrooms are all redone, I don't remember what state you saw it in when you were last here. We only have the car port to finish. Yeah!
It was fun to see Josie is doing debate, Hannah just started a month or so ago and loves it. She has been to two tournaments. She is excited for the New Years Eve dance and is bringing over a 'few' girl friends after for cocoa with bread and jam. Can you believe they are almost 16? For Christmas she received a drivers ed book and is excited to get her permit. She hopes to graduate a year early from high school because we will be in Isreal. She wants to major in event planning, I believe that is a major over there because of the PCC?
It was so fun to see your SeaSider basketball pictures, is coach Wagner still the coach? John is on two basket ball teams and is enjoying it. He is taller then me and should pass up Steve before school is out.
Abby got a bunny for Christmas and is thrilled. Her name is Pepper. She is black and white. She also went skiing with her school class and loved it. She is becoming a little lady as is Isabel I am sure. I still have that little blue book with pictures in it that you gave us before we moved. Thank You again!
The little boys are busy bees. Seth had his third broken arm late this fall and it actually had to have surgery. He is doing great and I hope we are done with broken bones. Thomas is my little buddy and I will be wondering what to do with myself when he goes to school next fall.
Steve is busy at work and with all his projects and loving it.
We had a crazy fall getting my parents moved. It was a miracle they sold there house in 5 days bought another one by my sister and in less then two months we had them moved. This was a bit of a forced move but It will be a blessing as they grow older. The neighbors across the street from my parents,we grew up with, have done some horrible things and we wanted my parents out of the neighborhood. It is very sad. My sister and I are witnesses in a trial against the girl that was my age. She confessed to my sister and I that she had injected her grandmother with lethal doses of drugs to kill her. So we will be testifying in the preliminary trail on Jan. 6 or 7 and later in the year at the regular trial. I don't mean to bring you down. I have had my moments but we are all doing fine and just want all this behind us. I am so thankful for the gosple. And being blessed to have wonderful people, like you, in my life. Give your family our love!!! and we hope to see you soon. love, jennifer
