David's Part

Delany, Delany, Delany,

Delany Got Baptized!

We are so happy for her for making such a good decision! We had a good day with a lot of family coming for it, and a pot-luck dinner afterward. Thanks everyone for coming.

We have had a fast summer again, we have moved again. I have been thinking about it and there is a pattern. Out of the last six places that we have lived we have had to move because the owner was selling it. I am including the fact that the place that we live now is up for sale. If it sells, and we get a good landlord and if the price is not jacked up we will stay here. If we do have to move in a year, I will enquire if the place is going to be sold. I don't like moving all the time. I've gotten quite good at it. But it messes up our lives. Any way just an observation.

The kids are in school and they are all doing quite well. Christopher is still at Willowcreek, it's nice that he gets to go to the same school two years in a row. Also it's nice because

he is picked up by the bus. He is in 9th grade this year and is going to Seminary, it is the Book of Mormon this year. Delany and Nicole are at Forbes Elementary.Delany is in the 3rd grade, her teacher is Mrs. Krueger. Nicole is in the 1st grade, and she has Mrs. Perez. I really like both of their teachers. Delany and Nicole walk home from school with a bunch of kids from our neighborhood, and today they took apples because their are horses on the way home.

I have been called to be the pianist in Relief Society. It is a scary calling because I am not that good. I have been practicing and practicing. I do love the calling it really makes me stretch. I use a simplified hymnal, but some of the songs aren't in there or they are too easy, so I just make up my own simplified version by taking an old hymnal of mine and whiting out the notes I don't want to play. It works out quite well.

We love our new place. We live in a duplex, and have our own private yard that is fenced in. We have four bedrooms and a family room. We also have a large utility room that I have put shelves in for food storage and miscellaneous, it really nice. I have enough room to have a sewing space. Now all I need is a desk for my sewing machine. What I would like to do is have a craft and sewing area, so the kids and I can do scrapbooking at any given time, and I can sew without having to get out my sewing machine every time.

Our grandson, Daniel Tuttle Meldrum got blessed at Jeremy and Krystal's home last Sunday. It was a beautiful blessing. It is always fun to see Krystal's side of the family.

We love y’all!

David, Bonny, and kids
