Miss Macy

Some random cute pictures of Macy.
Being silly with Daddy.

Having a nap in the middle of playing.

Sleeping beauty.

Len and I ran some errands, and we left Macy sleeping on the couch.  Kaleb sent us this picture after she woke up.  I had to look again to realize she was no longer on the couch, she was laying on the floor tucked under the couch, silly goose!

More Cartoons!









I had too much fun with the voila AI artist app turning us all into cartoons, I had to share some others I created.  Pixar, here we come!

A Little Sister

We brought Macy to the photo shoot with her brothers to capture her sweetness at 3.

Pout-pout fish.

Big smile.

Bigger scream.

So precious.
We sure love you Macy girl!

Brothers

We hadn't planned on having their photos taken together, but the photographer is wise and captured these moments.




I love having photos of our large family all together, but it's so special capturing these one-on-one moments too!

An Elder

Kaleb was ordained an Elder in the Melchizedek Priesthood and called to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  Of course, we had his photos taken to commemorate this milestone.




Elder Reil, we know you'll go forth and serve the Lord and your brothers and sisters well.  We love you so much!

A Deacon

Teague turned 12 in 2021, so he was ordained a Deacon in the Aaronic Priesthood.  We had his photos taken to commemorate this special event.




Teague, you are a fine young man and we love you so much!

Farewell Elder Reil!

On Saturday evening, after half of us returned from the Science & Tech Museum and the other half returned from canoeing we had Kaleb's last fancy dinner.  He requested Chinese take-out.

And pastries from Cobs Bread.

He finished packing- so many ties (and he still left some at home!).

We gave him 4 small little gifts (some moleskine journals, fountain pens, brownie mix, and another tie) to open on his birthdays and Christmases away from home, since we can't send things to Mozambique.
(Since he spent Christmas in Toronto, we did send him another care package!)

On Sunday, we had a farewell potluck picnic for our dear friends, the Wrights, who moved back to Alberta.  It was great for Kaleb to say goodbye to everyone too!













This crazy crew is sure gonna miss him!  But we're so happy he is choosing to serve the Lord!

On Monday morning, Len and I took him to the airport so he could fly to Toronto where he will be serving until his visa comes in.  We hope when he flies to Mozambique, we can see him off at the Toronto airport.  As well, when his mission is finished, we hope we can pick him up in Mozambique!
