LOOK WHO'S COMING TO RUSSIA!!!

John's sister, Jeanne, and her husband, Dave, have been called to serve in our mission!  They will be here in January.  They are experiencing all the varied emotions we had when we first received our call.  As for us, we are excited for them to have this experience!

This is silly, but Elder and Sister Howard wanted me to post it.  We were having fun with whipped cream.  I told them this was the way I whipped it.  They talked me in to going and getting a hand mixer.   You can't hear it, but the silly smile at the end was because Elder Howard said, "Ahh, Russia!"

Another fun Family Night at Center Branch
Family Home Evening at our apartment.  We don't give tests...they are trying to solve a puzzle.
Out of all fairness, this 'sweet little boy' (who I have labeled RT) was happy washing dishes for a few minutes at FHE.  It worked only once, but it worked, thus the picture!
