Doctor and de-thatching

I came out to the living room yesterday and Nephi had his yellow table (which he is too big for now) there with the chairs. He had his "patient" Mr. Turtle sitting across from him. I had to chuckle to myself because he had last week's homework in front of him. I asked if he was playing school. Nephi said no - he was playing doctor and was reading the chart. lol So - I went about what I was doing and sneaked a picture of him!


Then after dinner Russell went out to work on the yard. He needed to dethatch it so he could plant the new seeds. Any boys that wanted to earn extra money could go and help. Michael and Nephi were up to the challenge. Donovan was out there too. I just don't know where. Christopher thought having his computer turn was important to him - so that's where he was.

watch out or christopher is going to turn into me (sans baldy head and mistletoe infusions). i'd be afraid if i were you :-) as for nephi playing doctor: that is so precious. 'really shows that he pays close attention even when he seems to be being just the adorable child he is. i do hope he got the homework done, though. hugs...ellie

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!
