Malcolm's New Calling

Malcolm has been given the privilege to serve as Executive Secretary to our new Stake Presidency. He is very good at details and loves people so I know he will be an asset to these men he is serving with. Malcolm has been very busy learning and collecting information as this new Stake Presidency becomes organized and makes new assignments. I am excited that there will be some meetings we will attend together and so happy he is willing to take on this great responsibilty! They already love his wit and insight.

Thanksgiving Day 2009

We had a memorable Thanksgiving day with part of our family. Brian, Deb, Rachel and Matt came Wednesday, so we had dinner and just enjoyed their company for the evening.We got an early morning call from Amy with a request for help cooking turkey. Mike and his family and Amanda, Tyler and their family joined us later in the morning after all the guys had a football game together! Then we snacked until the turkey was finished and finally had our big dinner at about 1:30 PM. From then all, we just visited, laughed watched the antics of Mason and ate more, then dessert! Of course there was football games to watch too! We are just so thankful for all of our family and the blessing we all enjoy together. We love you all and hope those who were not here had a great day too!!
