Family Home Evening:
Tonight was high school graduation. We went to three parties and then graduation. Our Young Women/Young Men program just dropped in half! They were all wonderful and we'll miss them. Some will be gone on their missions by the end of the summer. Sniffle. Sigh. Can you tell I'm in the Young Women's and I'm really attached to these kids? Our kids personal and only babysitter they've had since she was 11 just gratuaded too. Blubber, blubber...

To Show Parent Core/Love of Learner/Scholar here are some things we modeled to the children today...

Alex: Scriptures, word of the day, went to work, he played Wii Sports with the kids and he is listening to Master and Commander.
