A Poem about our Week

Katie inspired me! Here is a poem about our week!

Hanging out with sick Bears
Makes you Pig sick
Funny, but true.

Pig sick is no fun.
Sleep
Cough
Too hot, too cold
Sleep
Ache
Too hot, too cold
Sleep
Snot
Too hot, too cold
Sleep
Splitting head
Too hot, too cold
Pig sick is NO fun!

Watch out for sick Bears
They make you Pig sick
Funny, but NOT fun!

Katie and Jared come for a Visit!

The very best days are when my kids come home! I know that they have homes of their own, but I confess that I still think of it that way with no disrespect intended to their independent lives! Thank you to Thomas for sending Katie to us for a visit. We missed having you here, but appreciate your sacrifice, and totally loved having Katie here with us! And of course we missed the rest of our Hawaii family, Billy, Jess and Baby Ezra too! But you take what you get when you get it and are happy for it! Jared came home the same weekend so he could get a visit with Katie too! That made it extra special great! And he brought a friend with him for the visit. It was so much fun meeting Brooke! (She is entering the MTC this Wednesday. She is coming here to Cali! Spanish speaking Arcadia... The mission Brett's brother served in as a side note!)
We had a whirlwind of a few of our family's favorite things while Brooke was here. And dinner with Grandma and Grandpa so they could be part of the visit too! Brooke and Jared left on Monday and we had a couple of slower at home days after that. Eye exams and new glasses for Katie. And some of our favorite fall goodies a little early! Caramel Corn and Pumpkin Cookies! It was a great way to start off the Fall Holidays!

Thank you to my grown up kids for their efforts in coming to visit! I know there is much sacrifice involved in making it happen but we all appreciate it so much!
