We had a really great suprise a few weeks back. We were getting ready for bed and around 9:30 the doorbell rang. One of the kids went to the door and then came and told Matt he was wanted at he door. A few minutes later Matt came and got me with a smile that went from one side of his face to the other:) A gentleman from his mission, Reimonis P . . . (I will not even attempt his last name) was driving (truck) cross-country and took the time to look us up (and drive out of his way by about an 1 1/2 hours)! He and his family live in Chicago where they own a plumbing business and his wife teaches piano lessons. Reimonis was never baptized because at the time they did not have a Book of Mormon in the Lithuanian language. Most Lithuanians dispise the Russians so they would not read anything that was written in the Russian language. According to Matt, this was the biggest barrier for investigators. What an awesome experience and proof that we don't really know what kind of impact we have on people!! Awesome, Awesome!!

T in a pair of Kayson's pant's! He thought he was cool and didn't want to change:)

Playing games with Grandma-Great in her hospital room. We take Leap Frog Bingo up and play with Grandma to help break-up the long days in the hospital. It keeps the kids semi-quiet while we visit but I am waiting for them to kick us all out! Matt's dad and Uncle Kevin 'busted' her out last Saturday and we met at the park for a picnic. We had a good time and always love visiting with family!!

Kael had clinic a few weeks ago. His counts were great but he came home complaining of itching. He is doing better now, I hope it was just the steroids. They will do another liver test in two weeks.

I am looking forward to cooler weather . . . perhaps life will slow a bit!
