Week of Sepember 10 - 16, 2017

Highlights:

Spiritual
My Sunday was good. I had a Cub Scout Committee Meeting and went right to choir practice. I won't be in town when they sing "Master, The Tempest Is Raging" but I am enjoying singing it till then.

Cub Scouts went well on Wednesday and we completed a few Adventures. Dad attended the temple Wednesday evening, and he went to perform some baptismal ordinances on Friday.

I am in Alma 57 in my Book of Mormon reading.

I have indexed 28258 records so far this year.

Family

The Wilkins Family
Sunday was the Primary Program. Here are some pics from Dad

Allison made this lovely dress for Grace. What a talent she has!!








The Ethan Rice Family
Hurricane Irma troubled this family early in the week. It had downgraded by the time it came to them, but there were strong winds and rain, and power was out.

Kaylee was home from school for three days. Ethan ended up being able to fly out to Indiana for work on Tuesday and returned on Thursday. While Cameo busily caught up work hours for the ones missed on Monday, the kids satisfied hunger...
Oops!

Their ward had planned a campout for Friday. The campground cancelled reservations and then reopened within a few hours, so Ethan and Cameo decided to camp anyway. 



The Doran Rice Family
Doran and Amber had a good work week. Doran and Kelsie attended our ward's Father Daughter campout near Flagstaff on Friday and Saturday. They arrived at the cabin compound owned by a member of our bishopric late Friday and got settled even though everyone was already asleep.
They enjoyed the lava tubes, though Kelsie hurt her ankle way into the tube and Doran had to carry her out and up over those terrible rocks, and then men in the ward carried her back to the start.















Morgan
Morgan worked at a temp job all week. He was able to help Kayty get some of her meds on Monday (he was the buff protector as Kayty went to an apartment to purchase her meds.)

Kayty
Kayty had a good work week, and made arrangements to meet last weekends lady in Vegas to get another two months worth of insulin. She headed up after work on Saturday.

Total Saves this week: One major with seizures on Sunday

The Nathan Rice Family
School resumed for Nathan this week. That means he has three classes each day of the week, three later in the day labs, works 20 hours and is on call at his job to program machinery. He got one of those calls early this week. Elisabeth seems to be doing well...
We were able to FaceTime as Annalee opened her birthday card. She was totally uninterested in her birthday check, but really liked the stickers! Ellie looked good and is gaining weight and growing strong. Nate had a busy week of adjustment to college and working, plus helping out Jessica with the kids.
They celebrated Annalee's second birthday on Saturday. She woke up to a room filled with balloons. She opened her gifts, went shopping and got cook pink boots with her money from us,  had a fun day with her mom, dad and sister at the zoo, and then ate pizza. A special birthday cake of brownie cake, strawberries, and whipped cream ended her special day.

I got to visit with them on Saturday and even talked a little with Ellie. She is more and more alert and you can see her focusing on people. She sure knows who her mommy is.

Dad's Garden
Dads seedlings are doing well, but the snow pea seeds he planted struggled in the heat. Dad might need to replant. Dates are still being harvested.

Year of the House Part 2
No work on the house this week.

Other highlights
I was blessed with jogs in the 70's on Friday and Saturday. 

Not so highlights
Jogging at 4 am...at 89 degrees. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, though Wednesday was a chilly 88. Weather tied a record high Wednesday of 110. Now, this summer has been pretty tolerable, so I hesitate to complain too much, but I am kind of tired of coming home a drippy hot mess.
