Mary Albertson and Gerrie Farrar Visited!

We were privileged to have Rowen's sister Mary, and her co-worker Gerrie Farrar for our evening meal Thursday night, 28-February. They have spent several weeks (since mid-December 2007) here in the U.S. and in Mexico with friends and family. We trust that they will have safe travel this week!

Beth's scrapbook pages

As some of you know I am really enjoying scrapbooking! I would like to share four of my favorite scrapbook pages that I have made. -Beth

One of the pages of a very special nephew!

This is a page of pictures from Labor Day weekend when Randy and Joy and Quil came to see us. Two friends of Tim's and Bren's were also here.

The next two go together (side-by-side). These pages have the words of CHERISH THE MOMENT (a neat song by Ron Hamilton) hand written on the background. There are family pictures from May '04, Nov. '05, Dec. '06, and Nov. '07. These pages were really fun to do. (Joy gave me these backgrounds and some others for Christmas.)

Jason's new glasses

Pictures of Jason with his new glasses. He always wears them for school or reading and seems to like them ok.
You can see here that Jason is the last of all of us six children to get glasses. Here are those of us that do homeschool daily:

Alia's first tooth pulled!

This is a picture of Cindy and Alia, her daughter. We have babysat Alia since she was 15 months old. Now she is 5 1/2. (Her sister, Kara, was featured on another blog post.) Alia is in kindergarten this year, and got her first loose tooth! On Feb. 19, Janet had the honor of pulling Alia's first baby tooth. You can see Alia was happy about it!
