Marjorie's letter to Spencer that she wrote at school. These little ones still can't figure out quite where he is. Heber still prays each night that he will come home safely.
Definetly enjoying our Christmas gift from my parents. I have swam with them every time, just no one to take pics.
The Penlands baby, Zoey.
One of the last pics we have of Great Gma Brown with all 3 of her children. Gpa Dean, Gma Brown, Elvin and Ruby.
Tender Mercy story: Last Saturday I went to help a friend in our ward move across town. While unloading stuff at her new home a guy came up to me and asked if my maiden name was Brown. I said yes, and stood there looking at him for few seconds. Then I recognized Elder Knowlden from Dickson TN!!! We shared a car, area, service, ward, etc the last 2 months of my mission and the first 2 months of his. He was like a brother to me, I was so HAPPY to see him. I think I hugged him 3 times. His little girls were wondering what the heck was going on. I met 3 of his 4 kids. I forgot to get his number but Joe can get it because his oldest goes to the High School. It was fun to catch up for a minute, we didn't get to talk long because I had to go but so great to see him! He had my dad make his girlfriend something out of leather way back then. She is now his wife.
I found an old frame that fits. I want to paint some more!
Making use of trash.
The new back side of my believe sign. These are fun to make.
She got all geared up herself!!! WOW! That is a first! All kids can gear up alone. Whoop! Whoop!
Sarah wanted to surprise her teacher for her birthday last week. She planned a little surprise and drew this picture for her. Her teacher loves the Boston Red Sox.
These crazies imitating Spencer and Brigham. And who knows why Heber is holding up an old family pic.
Mary's first night of YW, she is almost as tall as Lucy and they are both close to me now.
On Friday after helping Joe in the basement (we are almost done! Carpets coming this week!) I was able to take Mary to temple for first time. It was really crowded and we waited 2 hours but finally got in. It was an awesome experience. They did let us leave and come back so we were able to go eat at a nearby chinese restaurant.
2 boys in our co-op preschool moved so now Frannie gets to go to Preschool! She loved it!!!
And so did I. I ran for the first time in a year and a half. It felt great actually, so I hope I get to run Hobble Creek Half on Spencer's bday.
Celebrating Trevor's birthday last week.
More swimming...
PT conferences were last week. This year is flying by. All the girls did awesome this last term. I am not sure how Brigham's term ended up, he is really busy with the yearbook.
Marjorie's snowman is so cute!
Not sure why the pictures are all messed up!
