I have loved every minute of it all:)</div><br /><div>I began watching Makayla on Mondays (at Music class + MK's house for playing house with Dora and all her many friends) and for variety Tuesdays (at the Library, running errands and lastly at grandma's house).</div><br /><div>Then two of daughters-in-law had their new babies on the very same day!! What a special day this turned out to be:) Both moms and babies are doing great!!</div><br /><div>I have taken loads of pictures as you can all expect many are of Lincoln since I've been here for nearly a week now.

YEA!!! Seriously, Christmas is right around the corner:)<br />It will be different this year for Christmas, celebrating it with one of Tom's brother's family (Newel, Nicole, Susannah and Dawson). It's neat to have a sibling right here in Alberta.<br />Now could someone remind me how to post pictures.

At church Patrick spoke about exactness to the law of obedience. He shared excellent thoughts. I need to ask him for a copy of his talk. The reality of his leaving is really setting in. We had a great time with his gir and guy friends dropping in and a few choiced adults.<br />Where were all of our digitial cameras?! As they say company is what's important:) and of course, just to spice up things a little bit of food and punch.<br />There, for my sons I've remembered to add to my blogspot. Thanks for the nudge Ryan and Jon. xoxoIrene/Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00674357174234736253noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5305555076159871415.post-19386823143953593622006-12-03T17:10:00.000-08:002006-12-03T17:17:21.830-08:00My first post<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigaD2w9z49ErPzDRQ8fflbX3_kCssXC9pyAca9RpIMUraV1l4uwDyn6ZgtvG7xv3bOLWOjkNaQJuecPtdKijJZPPHkBAn4abOWb0tf3w1j0Prnrz6k3-K7RfmHDNPn7RjzmtFg13SOWbA/s1600-h/Landon,+July+11,+2006+(1).jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5004474523382514082" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigaD2w9z49ErPzDRQ8fflbX3_kCssXC9pyAca9RpIMUraV1l4uwDyn6ZgtvG7xv3bOLWOjkNaQJuecPtdKijJZPPHkBAn4abOWb0tf3w1j0Prnrz6k3-K7RfmHDNPn7RjzmtFg13SOWbA/s320/Landon,+July+11,+2006+(1).jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Hi Everyone!
