Sunday

Jennifer and her family came up from Arizona to visit mom. Mom was so excited to see Jennifer. They joined Heather and Dan for dinner. Heather and Dan made moms apricot chicken with pilaf and squash and mom LOVED it. It settled really well on her stomach and she felt very relieved.

Doug and Sandra Clegg also came to visit. They had some good laughs about old times and mom’s spirits have improved.

Monday
Mom was so thrilled with herself today because she woke in the morning and said, I am going to walk today! One of the first things she said was, you have to see me walk, it is amazing! She did very well, taking big steps and going quite fast, she was walking all over the house. She is still getting disoriented, but is making good progress. She is in such good spirits and so proud of herself. The fight seems to be coming back a little at a time.

Heather helped mom find a few things she has been looking for and mom made a beautiful bow for the doll her grandma gave her.

About a month ago, we told mom about a snake he saw in their pond while they were in Armenia. It was seen eating a fish. Mom has been very worried about that snake ever since and has been bugging dad to take care of it. With all the possible things to worry about, imagine that. So, Dan and Dad drained the pond today in order to catch the dreaded snake, they worked their tails off! No word on the snake just yet. :-)

After dinner, Dave and his family came up to visit and brought some heavenly fresh peach ice cream. Life is good – especially during peach season.

Don’t forget that this Sunday mom and dad will be speaking in church about their mission. Church starts at 10am. The chapel is located at 1125 East Alpine Blvd., Alpine, Utah. Please feel free to join us for this event. We will be having a light reception following the meeting at mom and dad’s home. Please feel free to stop by after the meeting between 11:30 and 1:30.
