New Bunny

 My friend Karen has gifted us two rabbits and we are in love. They are the tiniest little things to hold.

Temple Trip

 We took the kids to the Seattle Temple for the beginning of Spring Break. They are always very reverent inside and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. Of course, the ordinance workers love to see them. 

It is a small sacrifice of time to accomplish work for those who need ordinances.

Howard Sings for General Conference

We received some fabulous news from Howard at the MTC. He had been chosen to sing in the MTC choir for General Conference. His visa waiting had paid off! We were excitedly waiting when Brother and Sister Dan Sudweeks called from the Conference Center to tell us they could see him. Before Conference even started, they told me where he would be standing, near the center middle. He really showed off his voice (and my favorite tie).

Katie's Plaque in England

 Because Katie submitted her mission papers while she was in London, her ward has a plaque with her missionary service hanging in their building.

She is doing well and enjoying serving with some fantastic sisters.

Calvin leaves for Provo

Today was the big day for Calvin (and Adam Jensen) to take off for Provo on their way to Brazil. It was an exciting day and we were thrilled they would be travelling together. As usual, it was an early flight out of SeaTac, but hopefully they will receive their visas soon. Calvin is heading for Porto Alegre and Adam is going to Belo Horizonte. Good luck, Elderes!

Romeo

This is our neighbor dog, Romeo. He visits daily and lays his huge body in the middle of the kitchen floor. It is appropriate that Marnie took this pic on Valentine's Day. He's a lover dog!

Over the years his face has gotten whiter, but he has always played well with our dogs. He was happy with Yuki, Cecil, and Rufus.

Bunny Hunt

We went to visit Karen Lowry to see bunnies this weekend. Hopefully, we will get a few next month when they are weaned. Marnie can hardly wait! 

Karen's entire backyard is filled with wild bunnies, but these big ones are in shelter and well-fed. It reminded me of getting rabbits when I was a little girl. We traveled to Utah in a rented RV and on our way back we stopped at some friends of my parents. They gave us Bun Girl and Bun Boy.
