Another week gone

We started our week with a funeral for Brother Leacil Nix. I first met Leacil as a child in the 2nd ward. He was the guy who counted the members in Sacrament meeting and he always had a child on his lap. Later after James and I were married, we moved into his ward (Shiloh Hills) and he stopped me in the hall and said, "You're as pretty as your Mamma - you have to be Linda Jenkinson's daughter!" I recognized him as well. He also always asked what we were going to name our babies - he was around for the last 9 to be born, and he always replied, "but Leacil is such a pretty name." :) We loved brother Nix and his funeral was heavily attended. He was a great man. His wife Margaret is also amazing.
Shiloh and Scott left on Monday. It was hard to say good-bye. I wish they lived closer.
We were able to play at the lake in Suncrest on Wednesday and at the river by Platt's Park on Thursday. We ended the week lazily, well all of us but James. He taught classes all day Saturday. Our Sunday was busy as usual and we had a great evening of family time. These quiet times are the times I miss Shane most.

Nice tan lines :) I made them sit here and let the baby oil soak into their skin before getting dressed.

At Suncrest





I bought a TON of red-banded bananas from Fred Meyer. Levi came in and told me he was working at the Banana Factory. :)




At the river








What a wonderful week.
