Daniel's first funeral

TUESDAY NIGHT
THE RELIEF SOCIETY DINNER Our RS birthday dinner & Jewel in the nursery at RS dinner










Monday night for FHE, we all went to Walmart to buy things for Daniel to put in his office. Granola bars, water, candy for the ward, and other items he may need while spending time in there. He cancelled his trip to Florida as ward member Stanley Domino passed away. He had to help with the family and arrangements, in addition to attending the funeral and burial. He was in church all day and night on Tuesday.

Tuesday night: The Relief Society had a special birthday dinner and program that was so lovely. They read stories from the sisters on how RS has helped them or taught them. Dakota went to babysit, but wound up roaming the halls. Jewel had a blast as there were plenty of kids to play with. Dakota has his spring break this week.

Wednesday night: The kids had their church activities and Daniel had a Bishopric meeting. We all drove together and Daniel got a ride home as the ward secretary lives one block away from us.

gratitude thought: Daniel's boss knowing that the commute to NYC takes up lots of time, has agreed to let Daniel work from home two days a week. This will enable him to do some of his church work easier and cuts down on time away from family as he still has to travel. I'm grateful that the workforce has changed somewhat and companies offer working at home as a way to help keep employees more productive and happier.

Wow, Patricia, that is such a life-changing blessing (about Daniel getting to work from home a couple of days). I'm so happy for your family.
The kids had a great time in the nursery - thanks for sending Jewel in, and thanks for thinking to take a picture.
