On Sunday the Miners had a birthday party. Clarissa, Ammon, and Mary were all included and they were all so thrilled. Clarissa blew out her candles as soon as they were lit, so she blew hers out three times in the course of her “Happy Birthday” song. Ammon was practically jumping out of his chair for joy the whole time and grinned at everyone constantly. And Mary was so sweet and shy. She was thrilled on the inside.
In the morning we went to Center Point church. It was at 11:15 am and we were still late. But the kids call that one “the fun church.” I worked out before that on the bike and almost passed out, so I was really tired at the “fun” church. But it’s close, convenient, and the sermon was fine. So we’ll probably keep it in the rounds.
This entry is obviously not chronological. After the Miners we went to Larry Perkins’ house–our old G Street Avenues house!! He and Gayle showed us the addition, which is stunning. Gayle watched the kids while Larry showed us around. He has priceless objects everywhere, so that was a little harrowing. Thankfully the older girls could just sit at a counter and color. Here are their pictures. Also, check out the marble counter they are on. Have you ever seen marble like that before??? The whole counter looked like waves. We almost couldn’t believe it.:
