Moienah's blessing

Moienah was blessed on Feb. 3, 2008. It was a beautiful blessing given by Eric. There was a huge snowstorm that day so we weren't sure that everyone was going to make it to the chapel on time, but we were lucky and everyone did. Her Aunt Jennifer made her blessing dress which was beautiful. We are so lucky to be blessed with 6 wonderful children.

Navitt's Birthday

Navitt turned 11 today Feb. 12. I can hardly believe that he is this old. It seems like yesterday I was having him. For his birthday we gave him a wave board, the first book of Leven Thumps, and a transformer. Grandma Long gave him a transformer also, the Prince family gave him a book also. He got to go to his first 11 year old scout meeting on his birthday.

In Loving Memory of Mark

On Feb. 6 I received a phone call from my sister telling me that my brother Mark (41) had died. I was in shock. He had open heart surgery on Nov. 6 and had been in the hospital since then. He was put in a rehab center about one week before he died. It is hard to imagine him gone. We hope that his wife Louise and her two children James and Veronica will know that we love them. The funeral was on Monday Feb. 11. It was a very nice ceremony. I will miss my dear brother and the times we had talking. Most of the family was able to be there. It was nice to have the nieces and nephews all together playing.
My sister Michele died last April and now 10 months later my brother Mark has joined her. We will miss them both very much.
