Dear Family & Friends:

I have been all week at a training class. It seems like whenever I am away R is going to the doctors with the boys. It turns out that both RM and J have/had pinkeye and J had a sinus infection. It’s nice to be back.

R was able to have dinner (a few times?) with a good friend while I was out of town. It’s nice to have easy friends (with husbands on the road) to make it possible to spend time together. We’ve got a great group of friends that make life a lot easier for us out here.

R was able to squeeze in visiting teaching before/after doctors appointments for the boys also on Friday.

Saturday was a busy day. R had a basketball game and had fun, even though they didn’t have enough players so they had to forfeit. After dropping the boys off at a friend’s house on the way home, we went to look at a couple of homes that just came on the market. It’s always an interesting balance of location, house size, and lot size – in the end I’m sure that we’ll find something that we’ll be very happy with.

B-man and I went to a ward baptism in the middle of the day, while R stayed home with napping boys. We’re enjoying the frequent baptisms that we go to, knowing that it will be very soon (still 1.5 years) when B-man will be getting baptized.

The weather was nice enough in the afternoon that the boys spent the afternoon outside. B-man loves having his bike out of the storage unit and J loves to run into the street and go places that he’s not supposed to. Thankfully we live on a street with minor traffic, so it usually isn’t too bad.

I went to Ward Council this morning, while the rest of us tried to sleep as long as possible. R had to wake up the boys at 7:45, giving us just enough time to get everyone ready for 9:00am church. After a quick lunch of leftovers, I went out to visit a few families in the ward. We can’t wait for all of the boys to get better so that we aren’t dealing with sick, cranky, crazy boys.

R made a wonderful Sunday meal. And then we put the boys to bed.

We love you all!
