Conference weekend...we all went to a skating party in between sessions for Jewel's classmate Andrew. Sunday we went to the chapel for the first session, and Patricia and the kids came home, listening on the Internet to the 2nd session. Daniel had interviews and stayed at church the entire day.

Doris aka Oma brought back lovely gifts for the entire family after her yearly trip to Köln, Germany. (her birthplace) Jewel and Dakota were so excited and as always Dakota spent his money that was to be used to help him with his studies. His comment for purchasing games for the Nintendo DS was "these games are to be used in between my hard studying to relax my brain" Thank you Oma, as he sudied VERY hard, played hard with his new games and got a 96 on his Physics 2 test.

gratitude thought: For a phone call from dear Aunt Sadie. She has been a friend/sister to our family since my birth and has left us with so many wonderful and cherished memories. I'm grateful for all she has done!

grateful for Aunt Lucille and her legacy she leaves behind. My two cousins Linda and Louise (her daughters) are just the best!
