Well, it is March 1 today in Vancouver but it is March 2 in Australia and that is the date upon which our little Aksel Reid Hardy was born, weighing 7lbs. His is so cute and both his grandparents and his GG have been crying. Isn’t is wonderful how each addition to the family is greeted with such excitement and love. I went out to do some shopping and returned home to find Max had sent a message and I knew what that meant as Jacqui was past her due date and we knew what the birth was eminent. This has been a first for Tom from his new vantage point and I know he was joying along with us and many others on the other side of the veil.
This has been the second week of the Temple closure and I am trying to use my extra time doing things I sometimes feel need to be put off. I have washed all my Temple dresses and Temple clothes and have them ready to go again and yes I have quite a good number of Temple dresses. I wrote the mayor to discuss the need for improvement to the Fort Langley cemetery, cleaned my stove and oven which I have been nervous to do, dealt with some banking concerns which Tom would normally take care of, called my sister Joanne and Tom’s sister Carolyn, hosted Annie’s husband Kyle, took Carol Jensen out to lunch before her move to Lethbridge, hosted the dessert portion of the Ward Progressive dinner and just tried to get a few others things done that were needing to be done. I need to make an appointment for my hair to be cut and for the dog to be groomed. I also received a calling, with Stake approval, for me to teach the YSA Temple Prep class. All my callings are Temple Centered and I love it. I still teach Temple Prep in the Ward, coordinate female LOWs and server as an OW.
Bryson is doing some better and wrote me separately this week. I am praying and hoping that increased medication will eventually be of help to him. He was on a child size dose and Liza didn’t realize it. He said he is just trying to get thru one day at a time and I agreed that that is the best method to use. Missions are a challenge as is life and we all truly need to work at it one day at a time and pray for the Lord’s help in doing so.
Camille is in town for a hospital appointment for Presley and Cindy and I will try to get up to see her, Presley and new baby boy Tell. We have some things from Carol to give them and a few gifts from us. Carol has made her move to Lethbridge and messaged me today to say she was just arriving and that the drive had not been perfect. Glad she has arrived safely and we wish her all the best.
Excited for these angels from Heaven being sent our way.
