On Saturday my mother was baptized.
She is so happy!
It's been a really great experience.

Greg got his call today!
He will be serving in
the Costa Rica, San Jose mission.

He will be reporting to the
MTC on the exact day that
his good friend, Jake Shreeve, reports...
November 18th.
Costa Rica is exactly the type of place
I hoped he would go. It will be perfect for him.

Back to School 2009
Sammy - Preschool @ Mrs. Spier's (or "Aunt Dawn")
Jake - 5th gr., Matt - 2nd gr.

John - 9th gr.,Tim - 7th gr.

I don't remember a summer going by as quickly as it did this year. It feels weird not to have any high schoolers and to have only two in elementary school. And its strange to have the house so completely quiet. But I'm not complaining.
Happy 19th Birthday Greg!
We're so excited...he puts his mission
papers in this Sunday, and his
call should be here the 26th of this
month!
