Saturday was the Stake Relief Society Brunch and Leadership Meeting - all went well and we had a good turnout - but I was glad to get something crossed off on my to-do list!!
Charlie and Jeanette are in town, so it seemed like the perfect time for a family dinner - and we invited my cousin Judy's son Greg and his wife Kristy. It has been so nice to get to know them - family we didn't even know we had - and they live close by in Duarte!!
Mom enjoys telling Greg stories about his mom and her family - stories that are new to him - and I hadn't even heard all of them!
Saturday dawned gray and drizzly - perfect soup weather!! It was a fun evening of food and conversation.
Sunday night was Porter's family birthday dinner. Charlie had fun with the kiddos - as he usually does!
Isla gets more mobile every day - the Christmas tree is not going to be safe from her!
I even got Mom to smile for the camera!
Porter's birthday gifts were a hit with the whole team!
Greg's friend Miella joined us too - and found a fast friend in Eve!
Of course, everyone is Greg's friend!!
Mary left before we took a group shot - but she was there!!
Harry is the new Gospel Doctrine teacher - so I think he told Grandma about his first lesson. It was good one - Harry's a great teacher.
I keep taking shots of Dad and me - hoping for something for the Christmas card. Maybe I should settle for a connect the dots or something!!
Dad and I attended the devotional at the temple for all temple workers. Elder Nelson was the speaker - he also re-dedicated the Visitor's Center Friday night. It was a wonderful meeting.
It's still rainy and drizzly - we even have a fire in the fireplace. Maybe fall is really here!!
Here's to the new week - and Phoebe, Calvin, and Sully coming!! Stay tuned!!
