We combined Geneve's birthday celebration with a fun FHE from our good friends, the McIntosh's, who came over to teach us a lesson on getting started on family history! It was awesome!
The 3 Eagle-bound cousins, heading off to a Scout Merit Badge Clinic...
Stephanie, Christpher, and Callister's beautiful family photo... soon to be joined by a little girl!
A very proud moment, watching Sterling win his wrestling match at Klein HS, where the kids will all go someday...
We love Elder Pliego!
Today, Stephen got to sign up for his 7th grade elective classes for next year. He was bummed to find out his school probably won't offer French. I visited the counselor's office today and kindly gave them my feedback that we'd love to have the opportunity for him to take it, since he learned it while we lived in Switzerland. When Stephen said he figured it wouldn't matter much that we went in to give them our opinion, I quickly found this awesome article I remembered reading once about the power of one person's 'vote'... how we can ALWAYS make a difference! Love this!
