Dear Mom and Dad,
Hope you enjoyed conference. We did! Not
much to report again this week. I
guess we’re settling into a routine.
Jacob had another cross-country meet this week (on Tuesday). He placed 23rd and shaved 15 seconds
off his time meaning a new personal record for him as well as a race ribbon
(top 30). It was a beautiful fall
day so things couldn’t have been better.
Additionally, Jacob received his life rank in scouts on Wednesday at the
Court of Honor plus 5 more merit badges, making him the most decorated scout in
his Deacon’s quorum. Slow and
steady seems to be working well for him.
Our school hosted an all-school BBQ on Thursday so David and
I split the lunches with the girls.
I ate with Laurel and then Mary who were only 20 minutes apart and David
ate with Charlotte closer to 1:00.
With Charlotte & Mary’s birthdays looming, I spent Friday
shopping. I managed to get most of
the shopping done, but need to pick up the last few things tomorrow
morning. I simply cannot stand not
getting the best deal out there so sometimes I spend a lot of time running from
store to store to make sure I found the right gift at the right price. It didn’t help that I kept running into
people I knew from school or church and they were all in the mood to chat :).
We spent yesterday and today watching General
Conference. We took the family out
to lunch yesterday as a special Conference weekend treat. And the girls and I went shopping last
night while the men went to Priesthood.
Charlotte and Laurel could not stop saying how much fun it was to buy
stuff with your sisters and mom. I
think I see a tradition forming :).
Well that’s all of our news. Hope you are both doing well. We love you.
David, Ella, Jacob, Charlotte, Laurel, & Mary
