Gordon got his Mission call today!! ( See sidebar - Special Events) Washington Kennewick is the greatest mission in the world!! (Sorry, Nick [Elder Blount], Washington D.C. North is "the best", also, just like Illinoise Nauvoo was!)
I have cute video of him opening the call and all the telephones lined up on the counter as he read the call. I guess we have some weird program on our video camera so we need to reformat the video before it will copy over. Anyway we are working on that. Love you!
We are Mom & Dad, Grandma & Grandpa, or Ann & Don, depending on your generation or affiliation. We both turned 75 years old this year (2008) and have been married 35 years (as of 29 Sep 2008) having survived as parents of a hers-his-ours family of 10 children. We currently have 40 grand-children and more than 40 great-grand-children with more coming all the time. Our interests are (not necessarily in this order) gardening, Scouting (BSA), family (including family history or genealogy), Church (LDS) service, missionary work and serving as ordinance workers in the Manti, Utah Temple, etc., etc., etc.
We are new to blogging but think it is fascinating. We, like John of the New Testiment (3 John 1:4) "... have no greater joy than to hear that (our) children walk in truth."
Rylie Renea Reheis joined our family this morning, 9:29am, 22 December 2008. She is happy and healthy and Natalie is recovering nicely. Congratulations David and Natalie on the birth of your first-born during this auspicious season!!
