MISSIONARY SKYPE TIME

One thing we were concerned about coming on a mission

was missing the children and grandchildren and

missing out on important events in their lives

and thus our lives.

We are so thankful to modern technology that

helps us stay in touch with home.

If any of you reading this blog

(and there aren't many of you I think)

who may think you can't serve a

mission because of the missed events

re-consider!!

We ARE a part of their lives and activities!!

Here again are some of the "events"

we have been part of yet missed.

Eily again showing off her new Poland dress

for her blessing!!

What a great day and we were a part of it!!

Here are Jacob and Brock and Cougar.
They were "dog-sitting" for the week-end

and that was enough dog for Mom and Dad

and the boys loved it!!

Here is Brock telling ua about Jacob's new glasses!

Then we come to the "NEW" movements!!
Demarie has become a pro with the
HOOLA-HOOP!!
And we saw her in action!

Preslyn - not to be outdone -
showed us her TUMBLE act!!
And we were part of it!!

Then we have Hallie! WOW!
Her one handed CARTWHEEL was phenomenal!!
She hasn't had any tumbling but whipped this out
several times for us.
(I can't remember what she called it but we called it
A cartwheel when I could do it!!)
And we were really excited to see it!!

Marlaina put Broyden on the floor to show us how
he could stand by himself and he WALKED
taking his first alone steps!!
We were the FIRST to see him shine at this!!

Cathy is always so cheerful! She cheers us when
we talk to her.

Marlaina, Aaron,
Broyden, Preslyn Demarie
Togetherness for a picture!!

Preslyn pulling a face for us to laugh.

Alyssa and Brock sharing their day with us.

Another day with Alyssa and Brock.

He loves his POLSKA shirt!!

Rett, Brynna, Susie

What a great day when we talk with them!!
Today they sang for us,

one of my favorite Primary songs "Scripture Power"

LOVED IT!!

The toothfairy brought this lovely

heart necklace for Demarie when the fairy

was so late coming after she had lost her tooth!!

We are a part and enjoy every minute of their visits.

In fact some of these events we would probably have

missed EVEN if we had been home.

GRANDMAS AND GRANDPAS SERVE A MISSION

IT IS WORTH IT!!!!
