May Happenings

Between the cleaning packing and planning in preparation for the move we've kept busy with a lot of events this months.  I started off the month with our final piano group lesson here.

 Jacob successfully survived surgery.  The worst part was the description about the i.v. by the male nurse who didn't spare any details.  Fortunately the anesthesia took effect before he took take a look at the scalpel!  He finally got to get a little taste of "homeschool" during his week of recovery so he could keep up his grades.

 Alyssa was super excited for the fun run last week.  Her class went a day early since she didn't have school on the day the run was hosted for the rest of the grades, but she was eagerly begging to get to go again the next so she could get another free bottle of gatorade.

 We spent a day up at our new home wiping out cabinets, vacuuming, and cleaning the hard water off of the windows.  Then we took a break and walked to see a beautiful view of the river behind our house.

 Today was our final day in church at our ward.  Jared spoke in another ward for his high council assignment and the closing song was "Sing we now at Parting."  Then we sang it again in our ward and the organist started to play the postlude song was "God Be With You Til We Meet Again."  I conducted in Relief Society and the lyrics "Here we meet with friends and neighbors" brought the emotions to the surface.   Jared was in charge of Seminary Graduation this evening.  It was inspiring for me to hear Tanner Ferrara's talk and see the maturity and growth that happens in our children so quickly as they prepare to leave home and embark on new journeys.  I'm not ready for that yet, although its right around the corner for Rebecca.
