I hope they call me on a mission....

And they got their calls!
For FHE tonight the kids received letters calling them on a mission.
Not really, of course.
Meaning they will not be leaving home for the next couple of years. But they will have to research the area they were called to, prepare an authentic meal, give a lesson on one Gospel Principle, and learn to say Jesus Christ in the language of their country.

And now, I present to you their calls:

Annabelle was called to the Germany Berlin Mission. 

 Emily was called to the Korea Seoul Mission.

 Stephen was called to the Mexico Villahermosa Mission.

Joshua was called to the Australia Melbourne Mission. 

Over the next month, for each FHE night, we will be hearing their presentations
 and eating some (hopefully) yummy food. 
Two weeks from today, it will be Emily's turn. 

And maybe  it will teach them a little more about another country and will help to 
strengthen their testimonies of the gospel. 

Thats the point, at least....

Dog and Cat...Stevens, that is.

Lately, Carl is the only one who gets naps. (unless it's Sunday...then Trevor and I both demand one) If I was a big, hairy dog, I would expect naps everyday also and would just lay down where ever I wanted to (even it it was in everyone's way). You can just catch a glimpse of my moccasins. And trust me they.are.cute. I love  madewell . My new favorite singer this week? Cat Stevens. It took me watching the movie Harold and Maude to really listen to his music. Wow. And hey, I'm not going to be shy.  I'm going to sing out to the wild world that I love his songs. (if you also like Cat Stevens, then you'll understand the previous sentence...)

Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

Ralph the dog.

Morning at my house is so bright and lovely~that is, as long as it's not snowing or preparing to snow. I made Annabelle open the curtains first thing this morning. When my mornings start out like this, warm and bright, it just makes me happy. Today Joshua decided to be a dog. A dog named Ralph. And Ralph loves raspberry sherbet. Ralph got really tired and is now resting while watching Shrek 2. Not my favorite movie but whatever... I think I misspoke yesterday when I wrote that I/we had big decisions to make. There's nothing out of the ordinary except for, you know, the usual. And the fact that we found out yesterday that both girls need braces; Emily now or at least soon and Annabelle in a year or so. And Stephen has possibly two developing cavities. At this moment in time, I am very, extremely, incredibly grateful for dental insurance. That may not be the case in a few months but I'm not thinking about that...and I'm trying to no...
