On the eighteenth day of December...

Russell gets to go to work today! He is really happy about that as school has been closed all week up north. The boys have school as usual. On time. Yesterday it was a 2 hour late start. We waited and waited for the bus to come. It never did. We found out later it tried turning onto our road and slid into the bridge. Fortunately the bus, driver and people were not hurt. It is supposed to snow today. I will believe it when I see it. Now that all the boys will be gone this morning...I can work on one last minute Christmas surprise.

Oh! We also got some snow today! Some of it is still sticking. It feels very Christmasy! :) Christopher has a concert tonight as well. I am looking forward to seeing what his class has been working on.

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!
