Monday morning, after Anna's athletics, we headed down to my parents house to spend time with Grandpa and swim in the pool. After swimming all afternoon, we did a little Christmas in July with Grandpa. The kids had fun and loved the thoughtful gifts that Grandpa chose for them! After, we had dinner there before heading home for bed. David promptly fell asleep in the car on the way home and then didn't want to sleep when we got home...
Tuesday morning, Grandpa came up to visit with the kids and I for a bit. It was cute - he sat on the couch and showed them family pictures and told them all about them. The kids had lot of fun showing him how much they loved the things he gave them and all in all, we had a very pleasant morning. In the evening, I had institute - I've really been enjoying class!
Wednesday was a nice and slow day with a nice easy dinner. I think the kids are looking forward to church activities starting up again after this month is over. It's been strange having Wednesday nights so quiet.
Thursday ended up being quiet - Anna was going to have doctors appointment to get her vaccinations, but they had to reschedule because the shipment of shots hadn't come in on time. Plus there was no volleyball, so it all ended up being a slow boring day.
Friday my mom came up to help out with David so that Dan and I could go to the temple. We got to do a bunch of sealings, including some for Dan's family and helping out with some other's names. It was a wonderful afternoon. We stopped for a quick dinner on the way home, then headed back in time to get the littles to bed.
Saturday was rather insane. We got up early and got to go and serve by cleaning the building - then we headed for donuts! After, we got home with Anna having just enough time to shower and get ready for a class party with her Sunday school class. After that, Dan and Eileen and Anna went with some kids from Dan's class down to the temple to do baptisms. They had a wonderful time. While they were gone I built up David's water toy from Great Grandpa - it was a bit of a pain since none of the screw holes were drilled... But David, James, Evie and Aaron all loved playing with it. Then after that, Dan dropped the girls off for their stake youth pool party and got back just in time to have dinner with the Sister Missionaries - their DA had cancelled and we are always happy to have the sisters in our house! We have a new sister missionary - she's from Taiwan and we had a good time trying our our little bit of poorly pronounced Chinese on her. She corrected some of our pronunciations and was very sweet and encouraging!
Today was wonderful. Ward choir was lots of fun and Church was great! The talks in Sacrament meeting were wonderful and then I helped our subbing in nursery for the last 2 hours. The kids were great and we had a fun time. The 2 hours went faster than I thought they would! This evening, Dan had a meeting to get him ready for his new calling as a seminary teacher.
