First of all, happy birthday, Dad! Here's the kids helping blow out candles. That's their job at our family parties. And then Ava climbed on top of my dad and started playing with his hair just like Nancy used to do when she was little. That was cute. So they had matching bows in their hair. It was a quick trip but good quality family time together.
When we got back, we went right into our missions conference which we really enjoyed. We loved meeting all of the missionaries and especially the ones with kids since our kids loved playing with them. It was very busy and a little crazy with different ones staying at our house, but I'm really glad it worked out that way. Now that I've had a chance to rest! It really gives you a chance to get to know people better when they stay in your home. I wish I had taken pictures, and I didn't. It was a whirlwind of a week, and that's one thing that didn't get done.
This past Sunday we were able to have an open house for our church to be able to see our house, so as soon as the missionaries left, I went to work cleaning and tweaking some more. Thanks, Bek, for coming down and taking the kids for the day so we could focus on the house! They needed that time away too! What a blessing!!! The open house went well and we had around 40 that came through. It was a blast, and we loved having everyone there. We are coming up on being here a year, and it feels good! Now that the housing thing is out of the way completely, we can move forward. It's also been nice to be out in some spring-like weather recently. It feels like Fairmont is waking up! And we are looking forward to the future here. It looks bright!
