In a Nutshell....(part 2)

Continuing on with our last few weeks....

Loren and his Grandma Stone

So, after Danny had to go back to Phoenix to be a doctor (come ON! Couldn't he just stay and play with us forever??) we got down to the business of telling Loren what he should do with his life. Not really, but sort of.
The kids took Loren shopping for clothes, helped him work up a resume for finding a job or two, and trying to sway him on which college he should apply to.
I felt like I was cooking for an army all week.
By Friday, we were gearing up for more guests and Loren's homecoming Sunday talk in church. A friend of Amelia's arrived Friday afternoon and then
Grandma Stone and Aunt Jane came in late that same night.
We also were committed to an NACD yard sale on Saturday - just to complicate things a bit! So, while Grandma & Jane went visiting friends, the kids helped us at the yard sale until noon. After that, the kids went tubing in Zion while us adults recuperated and got ready for Sunday.

Sunday was great.
Loren wore his sulu to church - and he had one for his Dad to wear too!
So many good friends came to wish Loren well and visit with him.
My amazing visiting teachers and some dear friends helped me out by making some salads and treats to be brought over for the visitors on Sunday. I couldn't have fed everyone without them, as I had injured my back and wasn't in very good shape for cooking and baking.
So, they came, they visited, they ate, then they all went home.
Love them all!!
And now there's just the 6 of us left at home. *Sigh!*
