It's Official

Yep we've known for about 9 months and now it is official. We are without our grandparents.They have been set apart and tomorrow they enter the MTC. Crazy!!! We had so much fun the last week and a half spending time with the entire family. Most of us were able to go with them to Elder Oaks office and be there as Elder Oaks and Pres. Snow, of the Seventy, set them apart as President of the Halifax Mission and as a missionary and special representative of the Church. It truly was an amazing experience to be there together and to see the care the Lord has over His church. I am just so amazed by the responsibilities of the twelve apostles and that the Lord is so watchful of the missionary program that the settting apart of the mission presidents is not delegated away from the Twelve.

Well not only did we get a spiritual feast this past week, but we definitely got a family feast as well. Dave's family flew home and all the rest of us who weren't working were also at my parents home. We did a lot of entertaining the grandkids, but it was a lot of fun.

We went to lagoon...had a family dinner of over 100 people, listened to grandma and grandpa speak in sacrament meeting, roasted hot dogs on the fire, went out to eat, went to the dollar store, the park, ice cream, and even celebrated Conrad's birthday. It was a full week of kids. Hopefully my girls will remember how much fun they have at Grandma's with all their cousins. Next time we get together Autumn will be nine and my unborn babe will be a few weeks from her third birthday - too weird. Well here are a few more pictures of our week at grandma's.
