The highlight of this week was celebrating Abe.
Abe's birthday was on Wednesday. When I asked him what he wanted he said, "A game night with my cousins!" So, many thanks to Derrick and Julie for hosting a game night with cousins while Julie had a horrible cold!
Mary made Abe's classroom birthday treat (rice crispies) AND the chocolate cake that Scout decorated. The day before Abe's birthday was a school holiday so we went to the beach. You'd think we went all the time, because the only photographs I have of my kids are on the beach. But really, it's the only place where I have to focus on them and I can't be distracted by other things. The beach doesn't have wifi or books or work to be done. So, I have to walk around and pay attention to all the small things they are doing and it's actually beautiful.
Dan spoke in church today, he did a great job. Mary called her cousin in the US to ask about family history and reserved her first temple names to take to Manila in January. She is also setting up a family history summer camp and made fliers before church this morning. Love this girl.

Fireworks instead of candles.
Moses was so excited when Dan finally finished his swim workout!
Trying to work on a different kind of shot. I most shoot the kids and profiles.

Cars forever.
The first family history work Mary did. Merged two records, linked a death record and requested the work for another ancestor.
And then she began organising a family history summer camp and made fliers before church today. (She already emailed the stake family history consultant and is making a list of people who could come help teach.) Love this girl.
