Together Again... Finally!

Monday morning, we had another FSY drop off.  Evelyn and some of her friends, along with some other friends from the ward got dropped off for their week of fun and spiritual strengthening.   David stayed home this time, but it was still a nice drive down and back!  



We got the girls all squared away in their rooms and then they were off and ready for fun!  From everything I've heard, they all had a fabulous time, and it's been neat to see Evelyn's spiritual growth from just this one week!  


Wednesday, we went to Battleground Lake to play in the water and hang out with friends.  The weather was great and fun was had by all.  Unfortunately, I was bad at taking pictures.... 

David and I had fun this week playing and building things and such.  He always wants me to take his picture with things - it's so cute! 


Thursday, Eileen and James got back with my Dad.  I picked them up from the airport and we got home to unpack and do laundry and settle back in.  My dad was exhausted.  He's had 2 trips to Scotland with almost no down time between and he was just about dead on his feet, so hopefully now that he's home, he will be able to rest and recover!  James and Eileen both had a great time.  They both loved to talk about their adventures.  

Saturday was the first day all month that our whole family was together this month.  Anna and Aaron and I went to play water polo at Parkrose, then I took Anna, Aaron and Evelyn plus Caleb to Open Polo in the evening.  It was fun!  

Church today was wonderful!  After church, Eileen and Dan and I went to pick blackberries which are ripe and ready to eat and all over the place.  So we picked until it was time to get home and our bowls were full.  Then I took the girls to choir and Dan made blackberry syrup and blackberry cobbler!  YUM!
