Family - On Labor Day we enjoyed a little hike on the Cress Creek Nature trail followed by a picnic and afternoon at Heise Hot Springs and Pool with the Bone family. We left a little later than them and managed to squeeze in Pizza at Heise for dinner also - yum! On Saturday the 10th (the day before the 10 year anniversary of the terrorist attacks in New York) we also went to a Symphony concert in the park. Our favorite number was problem the Pipe and Drum corps playing in memory of all the responders who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks.
Evelyn - I can't believe my "baby" is now old enough to be baptized! Evelyn looked forward to being baptized for a long time and it was a wonderful day with family and friends! She now gets to go to Activity Days with Lydia and her friend Rachel (who we watch after school) will be going also.
Lydia - The girls made these cute Liahona balls at Activity Days this month. Lydia was also sick one day this month and I got to learn how to handle that as a "working mother."
Lauri - As PTO President this year, I conducted my very first schoolwide PTO meeting. We had a good turn out and had several more parents volunteer as committee chairs. We also had our first fundraiser this month - the Walk-a-Thon at our neighborhood park. It was very well planned by the committee, but unfortunately the turn out was not great due to weather and other conflicting events. For dinner group this month we combined with another group and had a great big barbecue/picnic with families hosted by the Blakeslees and Herricks. It was great weather and nice to just eat good food and visit with good neighbors.
Shawn - Shawn's grandfather (Ross Thurber) passed away this month and he was able to drive to Spokane for the funeral. We were all planning on going, but since we had the flu (Lydia first, then Evie and Mommy on the same day and Felicity on the day of the funeral), we just let Shawn go. Shawn enjoyed visiting with family and was able to bring home some of his grandpa's tools and a wooden box he had made as heirlooms.
