I went with Andrew, Ashley, Elizabeth and Katelyn on the cog wheel train to the summit of Pikes Peak. There was snow and it was a long train ride for the little ones. I enjoyed the views.

Ian Barrett, our neighbor next to Seagers, was baptized last night. His mom, Kathy, was baptized a couple of years ago, but he has resisted. A week ago he decided to attend our ward services and the catholic church and afterwards decided to be baptized.

2008-09 Grandchildren starting school

This photo of Elizabeth, Will and Jack (and Abby, Benjamin and Andrew) was taken in our kitchen in March 2004. Now in 2008 Elizabeth, Will and Jack along with Elsa have started kindergarten. We've had some fun stories of these four grandchildren starting kindergarten. Elsa thought that her teacher wasn't wearing underwear (she had her clothes packed in boxes). Elizabeth was frightened of the fire drill. Will's teacher pulled out a guitar and played some silly songs after Mindy coached Will not be be silly in class. Jack started yesterday and I haven't heard yet what his day brought.
