Dan at Buffalo Grove Fire Safety Day

Back from Odon

Teresa's dad passed away Wednesday morning, and we just returned from Odon. The funeral was on Saturday. I got to say a few words and sang "I Know that My Redeemer Lives." He was buried in Kilgore Cemetery, near Odon, next to his mother. Teresa's mom is doing well. Good to be there with family.

Day at the Beach in Kenosha

Scout campout

Hal and Ty stayed up all night last night playing Risk at the scout campout with the other boys. We made "Mountain Man Breakfast" in a dutch oven this morning-- yum!!
Somebody is snoozing now...

Visit from Mom and Dad

Had mom and dad visit for the weekend, and Courtney received her patriarchal blessing from Grandpa this morning. Got to attend two temple sessions with Dad yesterday and we made some ice cream.

Furst day of Skewl

Sunday afternoon

Rainy today. Just got back from hometeaching with Hal, then off to stake general priesthood. Pretty restful day for us.

The drama in church today was when Dan hit his head on the pew. His nose started to bleed a little bit, and I tried to hold it in by crumpling a piece of paper and holding it up to his nose. He thought this was the sign to blow his nose, and he immediately blew his nose and spraying blood everywhere, including my white shirt. He was in pretty good spirits, but Teresa ran Dan home to clean him up and get a new shirt. After you blow a bloody nose, you look much worse off than you actually are. He had blood smeared over his face and even in his ears.
