This morning for Good Friday we all headed over to Gram and Papa Connelly's to celebrate TJ and Sarah's birthdays. If you haven't already, go check out Papa's blog for some fun pictures. A couple of highlights include grocery shopping for recipe ingredients for Sarah and eating ice cream on the porch. We very much appreciate the gifts, time and thought from the grandparents and Becca B.
Here is a shot of Joseph and Peter from the grocery trip. As you can see they are stoked.
In the afternoon we joined Matt and Sharon and family and Doug and Heather and family at the pool. The water was a little cold for all except Rebecca and Lauren to stay in very long. The water bottle rocket launcher extended the watery fun. Heather coordinated an Easter egg hunt. For dinner we had some Costco pizza.
At both events we took a moment to remember and talk about the Savior and His sacrifice so that we can be an eternal family. What a wonderful blessing.
Preceding the birthday fun we had a service opportunity with one of my home teaching families. Ganon brought his piano dolly to help move their piano down the hallway from the living room to a back room. Easy peasy you think. No so. Their old shag carpeting made it a tough job. But with the expertise of Ganon, the strong back of my HT companion Bro Sappington, and invaluable assistance of David who put down wood track for the dolly and squeezed in several tight places along the hallway--we couldn't have done it without him, we got the job done. Bro and Sis Chambers were very grateful. Mahalo to Ganon and David.
