Hi, I'm Maureen and I am a Mormon.

My beautiful Christmas present from Jerry!

Jerry and I have a great thing going here...I bought him a miter saw for Christmas and he made me this beautiful entertainment center! I think I got the best of the deal. What do you think? :)

Guess Who's Coming For Christmas!

Ben & Laura and little 6 year old Victoria are coming to see us for the Christmas holidays. We are so excited! We have some fun things planned. One of those things is a special little party for them at the church so all our friends from this area can come see them and help us welcome them and celebrate them here. It will be on Saturday, Dec. 27 from 7-9 p.m. at the Clark Avenue chapel in the multipurpose room by the kitchen. We will have hot apple cider and desserts! We hope to see you all there!

Preparing Our House For Painting

Jerry hard at work scraping off the old paint on the trim!

This is really scarey you guys! "I aint got No-body!"


I guess I had to prove to myself that I had the guts to climb up on the roof and scrape the paint off too!

Especially for Jeremy, Kaylee, Wesley, Tori, and Alison!

Wesley's first day of Kindergarten

Wesley was very excited about starting school and he had a great first day! He will have to grow into his backback too, like Kaylee!

Wesley met his kindergarten teacher tonight!

Tonight I went with Karl and Wesley to meet the kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Parker. She was very nice and was impressed that he knew immediately which cubby was his because he could read and spell his name and pick it out easily. She thought he was very bright too, because he was concerned that she had forgotten to put his last name on there with his first name! Then he told her she forgot his middle name too! She assured him that she would make a new label with his full name on it by the time he gets there Monday. (She had just printed their first names in large letters on their cubbies.) We felt like a minority race in there because Mrs. Parker and us were the only light colored people there. The rest were hispanic and east indian. Culture shock! She assured us that there are a few other white, English speaking children who will be in her class but were not there tonight, so Wesley will feel more like he belongs and we will too! Whew!

What a catch!

Karl took Wesley fishing yesterday and this is what they brought back! It is 10" long. They turned it lose in the ditch a little while later so it would be happier!
