17 January 2008

What a morning! Nephi woke up at 5:30 barking. He has croup. Luckily there was still medicine from last year when he had it - still good - in the cupboard. We spent time outside this a.m. sitting in the dark. Almost immediately it helped with his breathing. He's been laying down most of the day watching movies. He really needs a nap. Wonder if he will fall asleep? So - since he was up so early - I got lots of laundry done early in the day, cleaned bathrooms and have french bread raising for dinner. Russell brought home 4 eggplant from work yesterday - so we are having Macaroni Ratatouille Soup. I hope the boys like it. They aren't too keen on Eggplant Parmesan. Russell and I love it though. Then tonight I have Round Table. Then I think I can finally have a good sleep if Nephi does well!

I think this was in 2004. It was Nephi's first trip to the beach. The boys were all so little! My have they grown.

Meet the Parents...Russell and Candace
It all started for us when Russell left for Cape Town South Africa on a mission. Candace felt inspired to write him - so she did! We wrote for 3 1/2 years. Candace came home from her mission to the Texas Houston East Mission and we dated for 5 months. We married in July 1994 and have been happy ever after!
