The Hanke Invasion at the Monrovia Ward Today!!

I almost always have my camera with me. And I usually have my phone with me, and it has a camera on it. But today, I left the camera at home - and the phone too!! I reasoned that I pretty much never used either one at church, so why clutter up my purse.

Ah, regrets!!

6 of the Hanke's 8 children - along with their spouses and children - were at the Monrovia Ward today. They had come for several reasons - Fred and Donna's 50th anniversary (yes, 50th!!), a baby shower for Brandi, the ordination of one of the grandsons, and a family reunion of sorts.

It was great to see them all - and I shared a row at R.S. with Stephanie, Amy, and Heidi - what a treat!! And I didn't have a camera. This is the only Hanke photo I could even find!! How could the Hankes be such a great part of our lives - and I don't have any photographs?

Actually, Heidi hasn't changed all that much!!

Don't you wish you'd been there??

How is Amy? I was thinking about her the other day. She was my best roommate ever.
