Good Morning Everybody,
It is a fine Tuesday morning. Mom and I are struggling along day to day trying to enjoy life as much as two old people can. Yesterday we bottled a bunch more applesauce. The Rowleys, who are in our ward, have a bunch of orchards here, and they let me go in and pick the apples that were missed when their pickers went through and picked. Now did that make sense? That could be a tongue twister with a little work. Anyway, we were able to put up quite a bit of applesauce this year, and we didn't have to pay a penny for the apples.
Jenny and Sergei are heading over to Vernal for a few days to help Jeremy frame his new house. Sergei and his Dad both have colds etc., but they just keep working. Jenny also works hard everyday and is very busy raising and teaching three very sharp and active kids. We sure are enjoying the eggs their chickens are producing.
Nathan and Haylee are coming over Thursday evening and we are looking forward to that. Little Hannah Loree is growing up fast. Ashton was sick last week, but is doing better. Nathan is busy helping Deseret Book get ready for the Christmas season, and I know Haylee is also very busy taking care of little Hannah and keeping up with Ashton.
And Stephanie also has two active little busters to keep up with while David is off playing around at school. Actually, David, I'm sure, is very busy keeping up with school. He sends us pictures of them and their place and their two kids. We love those pictures, David. Keep them coming
Spencer and Heidi are lost somewhere out in Virgina. I think they shut off their phones so I won't call them too much. Anyway, last we heard they were doing well and had a neat trip to Washington DC. (Thanks for the email Heidi. We loved it.) Law School is really keeping Spencer hopping from the sounds of it, and Heidi's job doesn't keep her busy enough, sounds like. Mom and I are currently planning on a trip to Virginia in March. There is some kind of Family History Conference going on out there that her bosses want her to attend to promote their business. (Our main reason for going is to see Spencer and Heidi.)
We haven't heard from Jared and Jenna for a while. When we saw them a couple of weeks ago, they seemed to be doing well. Jenna looked like sure enough she is going to have a little one pretty soon. We are very excited. Wow, all of these cute little girls that are joining our family! Jared is doing well in school sounds like, and Jenna is keeping busy at home.
We also haven't talked with Ben for quite a while. Last we heard he is still living in Mapelton and working for Sergei most of the time. How are you, Ben? Give us a call, or come and see us.
We are still planning on having Thanksgiving dinner here at our house. We would like to get a more accurate count of who all is going to be here, so let us know. We wish all of you could be here.
We are looking forward to seeing Spencer and Heidi on December 16. We have been working on David and Steph. to get them to come too, but we understand if they aren't able to.
Mom is real busy with her Family History Online business. It doesn't pay anything money-wise, but she enjoys it a lot, so I guess she gets paid for her efforts in other ways. She also is getting started into her new church job as a counselor in the Stake Relief Society Presidency. She loved her old jobs and didn't want to change, but I know she will do great at this job.
I keep fairly busy taking care of Grandad and the yard and helping out with the house and meals etc. I am kind of an assistant Mr. Mom.
Grandad is hanging in there pretty good. He is getting a little slower and weaker and quieter, it seems. He and I were talking this morning about Sergei's parents and how they miss Russia and plan to return someday. And Grandad said that's how he feels about St. Johns. I know he misses it a lot and is kind of lonely here, but he tries to make the best of it.
We love all of you very much. We really do believe that we have the most wonderful children and their spouses and grandchildren in all of the world. You guys bring us a lot of joy! We pray for you everyday that you will be blessed and protected, and that you will be successful in what you are doing, and that you will live the Gospel and be close to your Heavenly Father, and that you will teach and guide and love your children. You are doing very well. Keep up the good work. Have a good day. Love, Dad & Mom
P.S. Good thought:
Wherefore, if ye shall be obedient to the commandments, and endure to the end, ye shall be saved at the last day. And thus it is. (1 Ne. 22:31)
