Greetings from Texas! I hope everyone's doing fantastic! We had a pretty good week that capped off with a visit from grandma! And what visit would be complete without a trip to Butterfields for some ice cream!? Not this one. We had a lot of fun and everyone really enjoyed their ice cream.
I think I mentioned getting Pua last week from our neighbor. Well, Brooke has really been loving having Pua around. One morning they had to cuddle together under blankie. What a pair of cuties.
Brooke got out here chapstick Monday night because her lips were dry. She got a pack of Frozen chapstick a few months ago, and had to put some of ALL of them on. There are like 7 or 8. And she didn't just put it on quick, she took her time and really got it no there. Like, there was A LOT!
Also, Brooke has been a super helper recently, and she's really wanted to help with the dishes. She usually just loads dishes into the dishwasher that we've cleaned off, or helps unload and put stuff away. This time she was up on a chair cleaning off the dishes! What a great helper.
On Thursday Brooke started dance classes. She was SO excited to go, and she had a lot of fun! I took a little time off work so I could come and watch her first day. Her class does both dance and tumbling, and I think my favorite part was the tumbling. It was so cute to watch, and it took her a little to get some things, but then she was doing frog hops and rolls the rest of the week.
Saturday we had cinnamon rolls for breakfast per our tradition for general conference! Pumpkin of course! We of course watched conference, and I really enjoyed the new announcements about the new curriculum. I'm super excited to get the new family scripture study manual and starting studying together as a family. When they made the announcements I felt the Spirit confirming to me that these were needed changes for our days.
Between sessions we went to pick up my mom from the airport. Brooke was super excited to see grandma and came with me. When we got back we listened to conference as best we could with the kids, and then of course went to get ice cream! What a dinner! We're so healthy on conference weekend!
The next morning Monica dropped me off at the airport for a work trip. My mom came out to help Monica with the kids while I was gone. Anyway, I took off to Texas A&M again for another radiation trip, and I'm writing this from my hotel room. That's why I'm a few days late, and also why I probably have more typos/errors than usual. I don't have my proof reader here with me. Anyway, things have been going well here so far, and wait till next week to really talk about the trip, but we're all set up and ready to go! There has been a crazy rain storm every day we've been here so far. I don't know if it's just the time of year, but it's intense! One the way from the airport it rained so hard I couldn't see the car in front of me any more, and everyone had to drive nice and slow. Then, suddenly, it went from pouring rain to clear in under 5 seconds... it was pretty crazy.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful week. Good luck in the cold for those of you not in Texas!!
