Splish Splash!


Scotty is a huge helper.  He actually loves changing Joseph's diapers and giving him baths.  He feels so proud of himself when he does these big jobs, as he should.

Singing

Georgia entertained Joseph while Ryan worked on the cookies.

Sunday Fun

Tonight Ryan made cookies with the kids while Kris Anne wrote in their journals.  Scotty kept pausing to go into the living room and play "Primary."  His music director is named Sister Franklin, so he pretended to be her under the title of "Brother Franklin" and called Georgia, the pianist, "Sister Franklin."


What a cute boy!

A Week of Love

Ryan gave our Family Home Evening lesson on Monday about loving each other.  Our challenge was to give each person in our family a hug each day and tell them that we love them.  Everyone did well, but Georgia especially loved this challenge.  Each time she wakes up in the morning or from her nap, she'll smile, hug each of us, and tell us she loves us.

Georgia and Scotty looked at the invitation to "The Royal Ball" every day this month, asking, "Is today the royal ball, Mommy?"  When the day finally arrived, they were thrilled.  They got dressed up, bowed, called each other "Your Highness" and "Your Majesty," you name it.  

Many members from both Kirksville wards have come up to Ryan and Kris Anne since then commenting on how cute Georgia and Scotty were as they danced at the ball.

Valentine's Dance

Our friend Najma from India was baptized in November.  She is an Activities Day leader for the 9-11 year old girls at church.  Her first assignment was to help the girls do a Valentine's Day dance.  What a success!
