Misc

So, along with all the scheduled parts of the month we had some fun unscheduled parts as well.  One was that Margaret was going through baby clothes in the storage room and found Jim's artwork that no one believed existed anymore.  We decided to take pictures of them and recorded Jim talking about them.  It was so fun to see.  He is very talented.  There were enough prints that each of the 9 kids would get at least 2-3 original pieces.  Jer also took the time to have a game night with two of our nephews and my brother... and to build a catapult... yes.  You heard that right.  Some of the fun scheduled things that I did.... .. We went to a very rainy dinner for Jer's side of the family.  Not his brothers and sisters, but his Grandpa Robertson's brothers and sisters.  It was fun to meet everyone and I got to record some people telling stories about when Jer's Grandpa was growing up. And my nieces and nephews came to be part of my fencing class. That was both fun and a little chaotic.  Usually I have a couple of people who know the routine so everyone else just kind of follows them... but Ada and Sam... my regulars... decided that it was too exciting to have cousins there and didn't really listen like they usually do.  Oh well, it worked out pretty well and was fun for everyone I think.I got a visit by one of my favorite out of staters... Jenny.  Jenny, Jed, Jer and I met in our Ward about 7 years ago.  We taught their 3 year old daughter's Nursery class.  We had regular dinner nights as well as movies and LOTS of games.  They had to move for school, but luckily their families still live out here so they come to visit.  We had fun filling up water balloons and just talking each others ears off.  Thanks for coming!  Like Jenny said, we're just geeky enough to get along with each other.
