more...

i forgot about all the fun things that happend the week before valentines day! so here is little summary...
this is jack (sparrow) making his class valentines - it was cute how he picked a specific valentine for each person.
christian (brother-in-law) came to renew his green card/visa so we were able to see him a few times while he was here. it was sooooo fun and good to see him, but we missed the rest of the family... hopefully we'll make it out to Germany one of these days.
so.... when he came he brought like a whole suitcase full, like FULL, of chocolate and candy. we ate soooooo much - i don't even remember eating dinner, just chocolate. it was awesome!!! the boys especially loved their kinder eggs. he brought a couple cartons full of disney kinder eggs - the boys loved the walle toys they found inside even more than the chocolate! it was great.

...and did you notice the unicycle in the background of the pictures - it's justin's!!! he got special permission to take his fancy pants unicycle on his mission instead of a normal bike. he gave us a demo - riding it with his suit on and scriptures in hand. it was cool and exciting. he left on feb. 11th and we went to the MTC with him. being in there brought back so many memories - all the same pictures on the wall, the cafeteria smells, the large group meetings, the emotions - oh boy, the crazy roller coaster emotions while serving a mission!!!...
anyway...we're so happy he's out serving (and not home giving my mom stress!)

I kind of wish I didn't just read this blog, it made me really homesick. I hated calling that week cause I knew all that had been going on. However, I didn't ever hear about the suitcase full of chocolate - of course that just adds to the frustration of not being there. Oh well, and ya I agree I'm glad Mom no longer has to stress.
