Family Email


Hey Family-

This week was busy but we had fun.

Monday: Ben had another study at Purdue. He loves going and "playing games" especially when they give him a toy at the end, and I enjoy pocketing $9  Then Elise went and finished an infant study,  its interesting to see what they are researching as far as child development goes.  Ben's study looks at recognition of speech patterns and following directions. Elise's was determining if a young infant (started this study at 4 months) can distinguish vowels of the language spoken at home and recognize when foreign languages are being spoken...she can (she must be really smart! jk All my kids fall in the norm) 

Tuesday: Normal day, spent the morning sewing with a friend and letting the kids play. We had our Skills and Drills Volleyball class in the evening before our regular volleyball time. We've had such a good turn out here, and its amazing and fun to see the girls who haven't played much improve their skills. This makes is so much more fun to play an hour later!

Wednesday-Friday: All typical days, we stayed busy working on various activities, such as finishing Easter outfits.

Friday: Was a snow day, so we enjoyed having Ehre home in the afternoon with us. We invited friends over and we all decorated Easter cookies. :)

Saturday : Our ward had a Easter Egg Hunt and breakfast, this was a lot of fun.  We came home and decorated hard boiled eggs. Side walk chalk was pulled out and we decorated our front driveway in beautiful colors and portraits of Easter Bunnies. Lastly Jeff and I had a date night, we attended the 2nd wards youth fundraiser. It was a fun night watching "The Family Fued"

Sunday:  Easter Sunday, it was wonderful.

Ward Gossip says that on June 1st a new stake building will be completed, that means 2 of the 5 wards meeting in our building will transfer over. At this time rumor has it that boundaries will be changing, a new ward may be added. There is a chance that they are changing all the ward names and a chance that we will be getting a new bishopric. Not to mention that in the next month our EQ president, RS president, RS 1st Counselor, and many others including our organist will all be moving away to bigger and better things. Including us, temporarily.

We leave May 25th for Utah. We will detour and go visit Moab (hopefully with the Elder family!). Jeremiah comes home on the 31st, Jeff has a conference in Baltimore June 5-10 and then my dad and I are driving back to IN on the 10. But on the 13th we'll all be down in Bloomington for Jeff's internship at CRANE naval base.

CRAZY!

Well that's about it, I would like to mention that I ran 17.2 miles this past week (or ran/walked) my first 5k is this Saturday. As long as I finish in under 45 minutes I'll be happy :) I'm not to picky, it is my first 5k.

Lots of Love,
Ann and the family
