First Week of September Follies

Annmarie started her cheerleading for football season the first week of September. She really loves cheering at the games. Jonah had his first home football game. He was supposed to play the week before at JJ Pearce but the game got canceled after being lightning delayed for a long time. We had even driven over to JJ Pearce to watch him play. Then, on Friday night, we had our first home football game of the season (we played Pearce the week before at Mustang-Eagle Stadium--where Jonah performed with the band and we sat on the Pearce side to watch him march). But, the game got lightning delayed over and over again so we ended up leaving the game and going home before it ended. They also released the band. Right before that game, I hit my foot really hard on the coffee table and ended up with a broken toe. Travis also found out that he was not going to be reporting to the Johannesberg MTC on September 3rd as he was originally told but ended up starting Home MTC on Monday, September 1st with the report date of September 10th to the Provo MTC.

Homecoming/Farewell and Setting Apart

 

Caleb has his homecoming talk and Travis had his farewell talk on the same Sunday.  Caleb's return date of August 29th and Travis' report date of September 3rd kind of made that  happen.  Westley and Alejandra were there for it and so were Jamie and Nana.  It was such a beautiful Sunday.  Eliza and Annmarie sand a beautiful duet called "He Will Heal You".  We had an open house later in the day and then President Shumard came and set Travis apart as a missionary.

Caleb Comes Home!

Westley and Alejandra flew into town and were able to be with us when Caleb came home from Ohio. He flew into Dallas Love Field. We had let all the kids miss school. We picked him up and then went home, where President Shumard released him from his mission. Then we went to In-N-Out for lunch. Notice the picture of all four kids who worked at that In-N-Out. Westley and Caleb worked together, Westley and Travis worked together, Caleb, Travis and Eliza worked together and Eliza and Travis worked together. It's so great having everyone home!
