Happy Birthday Jenn! Glad to hear that Bishop Dave could sneak home after church to enjoy the family time! This past week has been busy...Monday Gwen's van went right into the shop to have it's AC fixed, luckily Cara let us use her car that day and then Lois let us use her van until Thursday (we didn't expect it to take that long!) We are grateful for the help with vehicles this week! Also Jim got his windshield replaced and we started another week of swimming lessons (mom is getting worn out). Tuesday was Jim's church night, Wednesday Reagan had her last tumbling class for the summer, she loves doing the handstands against the wall - remember that girls? :-) Thursday we had a candy order come, swimming lessons and then drop kids off to grandma's so that Gwen could get her "real" fake tooth and some fillings done - ugh. Then we got our van back with nice cool AC. That night while fixing dinner, Reagan burned her finger on the waffle iron - it's a pretty good burn and so she can't get in the pool until we see the doctor on Monday. Friday Jim worked in Tucson and Gwen was supposed to have jury duty but it was cancelled. Thankfully, Cara was able to still babysit for a bit while Gwen got some things taken care of. Then we all hung out at Cara's pool for awhile. Saturday we went to IHOP for breakfast and Jeremy was there twisting balloons, then we had to run to grandma's and then to a baptism which was a complete hassle. It's a family Jim used to hometeach and someone had failed to notify the stake people of the baptism so the font was empty when we got there and the family didn't even arrive until the service was supposed to start. We really weren't suprised by this but it turned into a hassle for Jim. Right after that we went to a surprise birthday party for someone in the ward. It was fun but the kids were up past bed time and it showed! Sunday was pretty mello and now on to another week. Hope everyone is well, love jim gwen reagan and john
