Hope Sydney had a Happy Birthday! Happy Anniversary to Cake and Steve! Monday we had the work van in the shop, Tuesday we were supposed to get a candy delivery early so we could pick up the van for Jim to work, but the candy order came 2 hrs later than they told us - ugh! So Jim had a very late start at work that day and ended late so there was no church night for him. Wednesday Gwen got her VTing done for the month (yippee) and then headed to the cannery that afternoon. The set-up now makes it go fairly quickly, it takes longer to stand in line and pay than to do the canning! Thursday Jim took the day off because the van in fact didn't get fixed and it was in the shop again (when do we give up on this van?!) So Jim took his dad to get new hearing aids. They are called "Zounds" and were invented by an LDS man who has a hearing impaired daughter. Seems like they are working out and we don't have to do as much yelling at grandpa! :-) That night Jim went to do security at HFPE and Gwen watched the kids at home - nice switch huh? The truth is, we've had to pay more babysitters for nights when we both have church stuff going on and Gwen didn't want to have to do that for Enrichment night too. Friday we had an Elder's Quorum party at the park. It was fun for the kids and there happened to be an 18-wheeler delivering a car to someone across from the park so John and Gwen watched it get unloaded, it was kind of fun to see the process. Saturday was misc and then we had the Thornley's over (Cara brought a yummy dinner) and the kids stayed while Cake and Steve went to their Pinewood derby. Sunday was HT, Pres Meeting and Petersen Dinner (Happy Birthday Lois!). The cousins had a great time and the funniest was when Sam, Luke, and Reagan were on the hammock and John went right over and flipped them all off - luckily no one got hurt! Have a good week everyone. Love, Jim Gwen Reagan and John
