Since this weekend was Stake Conference, and since we were advised at Stake Conference by our Stake leaders to observe the Sabbath Day better, we tried hard to eliminate some of our not-so-Sabbath-Day-appropriate family rituals. Like watching TV. And checking FB (not a problem I have personally). I wished with all my heart that I could have done even better, but I have to admit that I rotated a load or two of laundry through the washer and dryer. This is NOT a regular occurrence at our house, though, and truly, the ox was in the mire. I will leave my shame at that.
The girls worked on welcome home signs for Elder Syddall.
They are each unique and beautiful, and will be displayed for all to see at DIA, Wednesday at 2:45.
Bill wrapped Christmas presents. Taylor had requested some just-want-them-to-be-there-when-I-get-home gifts for Christmas 2009, so we figured we would go all out and have them wrapped and ready.
And our countdown chain?
Oh so short.
Cute posters. I'm so excited for you to have him home.

ReplyDeleteWhat a happy day! Let us know how it went. I know you will...I just needed something to say!!! I was doing some indexing for the church & came accross a George Goldberry! It made me think of you. If anyone does family history it was Marriage information in Iowa for 1915.
