 Is that a nervous smile or a very excited smile. . . I think it's a little bit of both.

Our Froelich Family!!

The Froelich's are a family we have come to love and consider family here.  There youngest son Nathan just received his call to Guatemala to serve an LDS mission for two years.  The girls have fallen in love with him and the rest of the family and they have enjoyed writing Nathan while he has been in the MTC.  He leaves Wednesday for the MTC in Guatemala.

Preston's Room!

All finished with Preston's room!  We have some prints to put up but other then that it's all ready to go for him.  Including lots of clothes and diapers just waiting to get dirty.

"Kindness begins with me"

For family home evening we pulled out the months Friend magazine and read the story A Golden Friend.  I thought it would be good to go over being kind to everyone with Katie seeing that she was starting school.  We read the story then they were able to do their favorite activity Paint!  They each painted a picture of their friends and then we talked about what are some naughty and some nice ways we treat our friends.  They had a pretty good time I think and hopefully learned something in the process.

Katie's first day of Kindergarten!
