With school out we've been trying to stay busy. We go to the park about every day. Eventually I'll remember to take the camera so that I can post some pictures of park day. Our ward has organized a park day where we go to a different park every week and play for a couple of hours. Ben likes being able to find other kids to play with. It has been a blessing to us to be able to get to know some of the other families in the ward. Not to mention we get to check out several parks in the area.
With the beginning of summer, our neighborhood pool also opened. We try to go as much as possible. The only down side is that we have to wait for Heath to get home from work. I'm crazy but realize my limits. I can not handle all 4 boys at the pool by myself. But every time we go we have lots of fun.
Amy,
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and read back to the beginning posts. We moved here from California about 7 years ago. Jeff is from KC, but we'd lived in Utah first and then Cali. I grew up in Maryland (the DC area). Anyway, it took us so long to get adjusted and really make friends. Back then though the ward was ALL med and dental students really and it was tough. Then they split it and created the Parkville ward. With some permanents in our midst it got easier. We still miss Cali and would move back if we had the chance (my parents live there). But we've found a lot of good here. There have been enormous trials, but knowing you are in Zion is huge.
I know the Primary is estatic to have you on the piano. We were desperate for a pianist and to have you volunteer that day in the hall was a huge blessing. I've been released now, which still makes me sad, but I know they are so happy to finally have somebody who can really play in there. Not that Niccole H. couldn't play, but she's the secretary and was killing herself doing too much at once.
Keep coming to lunch bunch and girls night out, it's only been going for less than a year - but it's helped us all grow a lot closer.
